When I tell people that I never went to my Prom, I generally get responses like “what, you couldn’t get a date?” or “oh, so you were too cool for school?” Neither was the case really, I just had an older boyfriend who was wayyyyyyy to cool to attend a glorified school dance once he’d graduated from high school. So, instead of getting glammed up, dining at Applebee’s and drinking myself pregnant, I skipped it to instead go to a Run DMC Concert with the older kids in Fargo, ND.
I’m not kidding.
So, when my bff Jackie (did I just say bff? eww, I feel like I’m a retarded 14 year old) asked if I’d let her style me for a Prom thingy that Lord & Taylor had asked her to do (alongside fellow fashion bloggers Wendy of Nitrolicious and Chelsea of Pink Rock Candy), I was in to it.
They basically let us loose in the store to pick out dresses, shoes, jewelry and get our makeup done. It was like Supermarket Sweep, minus those huge, ultra expensive blocks of cheese and we didn’t have to weigh out exactly one pound of candy. Also, I guess we didn’t get to keep anything at the end. But hey, it was still fun.
Jackie dressed me in this empire waist gown that was sorta Bohemian and sorta Grecian at the same time. And cuffs, lots of cuffs. If you know Jack, you know she loves her some cuffs. Anyway, in the end, I think she did a pretty damn good job with my look.
One question though, wasn’t I supposed to get drunk on wine coolers or some type of Pucker at least?
I sort love this pic. Check out the rest of the Prom goodness on my Flickr
if i had a tuxedo jacket out this would have been so wrong
