Firstly, I apologize for my absence, I was on vacation and now I have a baby kitten at home, who is stealing all of my attention.

Now let’s talk about prom, it’s a fashion milestone, one short epic evening, and the closing of a chapter in your life. What to wear? Figuring this part out is probably second biggest decision in your last year of high school, first being figuring out what to do next year.

Below is a flashback of my prom outfit, looking back, I still love it, it was perfect for the look I was going for; old hollywood glam, but I can’t help but think of the price tag attached to this outfit, in the sense that this is a dress I’ve worn once, for a few hours. The fashion market place has changed, with designer collaborations at every corner, getting perfect prom look is a lot easier and less expensive.
