So I got to the mall around 3 and went to Dillard's immediately. I knew they'd have a great selection of prom dresses. I tried on a bunch of dresses, some long and some short, and I started falling in love with the long dresses. I thought that long dresses would swallow me whole since I'm only 5foot...so I totally decided against them before I started looking. My mom suggested that I try some anyway, just to see how they looked. I'm sooo glad I did! Here's the dress on me that I loved at Dillard's!
I absolutely loved this dress! I was definitely torn between this one and the one that I bought... They were both the same price, so that wasn't a deciding factor. It was just the colors and the styles. As you'll see, the styles are similar as far as the body piece and the bottom go. I loved that this dress was red...I've never worn a red dress and I thought it was beautiful! I loved the color against my skin tone.
So we had Dillard's hold this dress for me while I looked around the rest of the mall with my mom. A store called Cashe had some gorgeous dresses in the window, including the one that I bought. I figured that they'd be way more expensive than I could afford, but they were around the same price as the ones I tried on at Dillard's. Here's the one that I chose!
It's so freakin gorgeous!!!!!!
Of course...I have to hem mine... but I fell in love with this dress...Wanna know the deciding factor, after I went and tried both dresses on again? My nails! They were painted purple! I thought it was fate!
These are my shoes. I got them from a little store in the mall called Eve's. I normally don't like strappy shoes. But I figured, with the long dress, they would look better than closed toe or stiletto. My toes are even purple! :) SN: The necklace and earrings are from Icing. I know you can't see them too well in the photos, but I'll try and get a better picture on prom night.
So prom is on April 2nd. I'll definitely post pictures from the night when it comes! I'm so excited! Wish me luck!
