Prom Dress Shopping! :)

I found my dress! Within three hours of shopping on ONE day I found my dress! I got shoes and jewelry to match as well. I didn't think I'd get all of that in one day!
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!

The color is a bit off in this picture because of the lighting in the room (it's the only room with a full length mirror in our house). But here is the dress on the website. This shows the true color of the dress

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!
