P R O M



We are almost graduated! For one of our final posts during our high school lives, we thought it would be appropriate to share our prom outfits! Both of us attended our school prom and mormon prom. We wore our same dresses but we styled everything else a little bit differently. We're so excited to finally be able to share them with you!

I guess I'll start with my dress. I saw this dress on pinterest over a year ago and I thought, Wow that is my dream prom dress! But I never expected to actually find it, let alone find it in my price range. I came across this dress on one of those sketchy chinese websites and for a very reasonable price! My sister and I now have ordered several dresses from China and luckily they always worked. Don't be afraid to order from these websites but my advice would be to make sure you get your measurements and custom order where possible! 
For my first prom look I wanted to be a little bit fancier. I wanted my hair up but I didn't like the idea of putting it back. I loved this hair do because it put all my air in front and on top of my head. Don't be afraid of trying something different, even if a lot of people are telling you it won't look good. Another thing I wasn't so sure about was my corsage. Some people were telling me it wouldn't work out but a good friend told me, "It's your senior prom and they're your favorite flowers. Just do it!" We got creative and used the bouquet of sunflowers he gave me earlier that week to make our corsages. I think I got as many compliments on my flowers as I did my dress!
In fact, I loved the sunflower-dress combo so much that I wanted the same for mormon prom. But I didn't want to make another corsage. I literally stuck some flowers on a headband and I left my hair in messy curls. I finished both of my outfits with blue heels and my favorite red lipstick.

I styled my dress pretty similarly for both proms, but there are slight differences. I've been dreaming of a pretty prom pretty much my whole life, but didn't want to spend a bunch of money! To be honest I just typed in "Cheap Prom Dresses" into google and I searched and searched and searched and then came across the glorious ifitdress.com - the cheapest site I could find. I came across this dress and fell in love, because it was modest, quite simple but also unique. I originally wanted a white prom dress but quickly converted to the green, because of the uniqueness.
Regular prom: I ended up just curling my hair and leaving it down (due to time). And honestly-BEST DECISION EVER! I was able to whip my hair, my favorite dance move, and I had no issues with it falling out! I kept my make-up simple and neutral. I wore lots of gold jewelry-a chain bracelet, stud earrings, and lots of rings. And my favorite part of the whole outfit-my shoes! Although I don't have a good picture, they are stripy wedges-another AWESOME decision. Seriously the most comfortable things I have ever owned, I didn't even take them off to dance!
Mormon Prom: I kept everything more simple-less jewelry, and  I broke my favorite shoes so I opted for my sparkly sandals- simple, comfortable, but still classy. I decided to do a super simple up-do this time. I really like the way up-dos look on my face shape, but not the best for dancing! And to top the look off I wore bright pink lipstick!
