While browsing Etsy I spotted an article about prom dresses. This one in particular made me click. I love it and if I were 17 this is what I would be wearing. 
Oddly enough it looks a lot like a prom dress that I did wear, raspberry with a sequined bodice and a bubble skirt. This must be the updated version. So let's talk prom am I the only one who wore hideous dyed to match shoes?

I truly don't want to think about it. Every time I come across "that" picture in "the" box, I cringe. LOL.
Sad to say I didn't go to Prom so I have no tragic dress story to share, but I am excited to pretend I'm in HS again and go see 17 again this weekend. Hmm don't think Hubs is going to be too thrilled about that...
oh girl...i totally sported the shoes too...so sad and my feet were dyed blue afterwards...nice.
I wore my first pair of Jimmy Choo's to my prom! I also sported a tiffany blue tea length 50's prom dress that was my Aunt's. I love my prom look! My only regret was that afterward we all went to a beach house where the boy I was dating got way too drunk and was not fun to take care of! FUN!
Oh PROM - I loved All 3 of my Prom dresses. It was my hair that I just cringe looking at - what was I thinking...
P.S. I have to admit, I had better posture than the model in this picture when I showed up to my prom... Couture or not I hate this pose!!!
And no Sarah, it was not the "Whitney Hair" - that was much earlier in life - HAHAHA!!!
Matching dyed shoes were all the rage at my prom but luckily I did not give in! It's interesting to see some 80's styles come back now but in a reinvented way. There is much more of a selection than when I went to prom. My niece found a really great dress online at Elegant Mart. They have a great selection and even better prices! Check them out at http://www.elegantmart.com/Prom-Dresses-Gowns.aspx. Oh, and cute shoes too!
I love the top of this dress. I wore a backless champagne dress to my prom, and I still think I looked simple and pretty. My date work a black suit with gold EVERYTHING, very tacky.
Didn't everyone dye their shoes in the 80's? Looking back, we were such a big lot of sheep. Gals today have so many more options and don't mind doing their own thing. Kudos to them!
