Prom-Perfect: Your Dress!!

A prom dress is a dress you'll never forget. Make sure it's absolutely stunning & truly your own with this guide! Here are a few ideas, Enjoy:)

**BloggerGirls tip: When shopping for a prom dress, sometimes the 'prom' labeled section of the store is not where you'll find your dress. Typical 'prom dresses' are usually layered down with synthetic taffeta fabric & look very cliche prom, in an unstylish, tacky way! Try shopping for dresses in the party-dress section for a beautiful dress that isn't stamped in red, "I got this because it's a prom dress."

**BloggerGirl Favorite!** Hollywood sweetheart- this is dress is stunning, to say the least. The scalloped bodice is classic & sweet. The long gown flawlessly cascades down the back. The bold red & the fit are a break away from the typical prom dress so you end up looking like you're waltzing into an A-list event. This dress just screams hot-hollywood! Click to shop:)

Feathered goddess- two words: BCBG & feathers. Wow! This dress is completely breathtaking. This white dress is fitted around the hips to accentuate your figure, has a pop of pale pink bellow the chest and has shoulders layered with lovely feathers! This dress is truly unique & truly show-stopping. Click to shop:)

Pretty in Purple- this dress is silky silky silky! I love the ombre effect & the beautiful gems around the bra-line both on the front & back. This dress is elegant, silky, sexy & sophisticated. You'll glide across the dance floor while your dress screams glamour. Click to shop:)


**BloggerGirls Tip: If you're into flashy showgirl-esque dresses for your prom, I have some great advice. Ballroom dance dresses are completely fabulous: adorned in Swarovski crystals, bright colors, & sexy cuts&fits, (and they come in use for my ballroom competitions, duh!) If you're interested you can always buy one, but like I've said before, renting is a affordable option.




Beachy & relaxed- You don't have to sacrifice your casual vibe for prom. Hey, I know a lot of people will tell you it's your night to be whoever you want to be, but my best advice is, be yourself!! I can't stress enough how important it is to dress in what you feel great in. This Lilly Pulitzer dress is girly & bright, and though it may be boho, watch out, if you pair with some nude heels, you'll be effortlessly prom-wonderful! Click to shop:)

Edgy- while I love the idea of short dresses for prom, this dress proves you can still be fiercely edgy in a long dress. Tulle drapings, & mod-style beadings/ embellishments make for one fashion-forward find! Click to shop:)


**BloggerGirls Tip: When I envision the perfect prom dress, I always think: hollywood. You can never go wrong with red carpet style. Flash back to watching the Oscars or the Grammys and picture the stars. Get inspiration! Who looked great? What star do you epitomize?  PS. I find that Neiman Marcus has an amazing formal dress selection. It's not too expensive, they carry a bunch of designer labels & you won't be disappointed with their great selection.
