A couple weekends ago while I was on vacation in New York, we walked into the Juniors section of Macy's to find it was here.... Prom 2009. Girls were scurrying everywhere trying to find the perfect dress with the perfect shoes and accessories to match. The formal dress section was packed with teenage girls. The small waiting area outside the dressing rooms, was filled with tired looking dads, brothers, and boyfriends. Inside the dressing rooms were filled with excited and stressed girls, their best friends and their moms, all giving opinions, taking pictures to compare dresses, and running in and out to grab more. Then it hit me: Prom season had officially hit. For the next two months there will seem to be more dresses in the formal dress department than usual, and soon their won't be one left in sight. All the salons will be booked with appointments for hair and nails, shoe department will be all out of stilettos in the common sizes and colors, and the mall will be crazy. Every girl will be looking for that perfect dress. I won't be going to prom for another year or two, but I can still can think about what my dream dress will look like...
I've always loved BCBG, so of course one of my dream dresses had to be made by them. I also saw a girl try this dress on in store and it was absolutely gorgeous.
I thought this dress was amazing if your were going to wear a print.
Yes I know it's Oscar de la Renta, but hey a girl can dream. This is how you do black right for prom.
I would wear anything by Reem Acra, no questions asked, she is a genius when it comes to dresses.
Again, these are dream dresses. Who knows what the styles will be in two years. I hope to do another post on prom a little later with ideas on how to save on a amazing prom dress.
