So as you probably know it was my high school Prom a few weeks ago and I just thought I'd share with you some of the photos from the night and what dress and style I decided to go for.
Before there was any mention of Prom at school I knew that I wanted to go for a 50s style tea length dress. I have always appreciated and adored the pure class, innocence and elegance that the 50s style possesses. I did have a hard time finding this style of dress but after scowering many online stores and prom dress shops I found a large bridal store that stocked a wide range of dresses not that far from where I live. It was here that I found this gorgeous dress. It was originally a halter neck dress but I preferred it without the strap and so they were able to detach it for me. My dress was also originally in a very pale blue shade, but I also chose to have it remade in a baby pink. In this colour the dress also resembles the dress that Lorraine where's in Back To The Future when she goes to the The Enchantment Under The Sea Dance with Marty's Dad... which just so happens to be my favourite film.
You can't tell on these pictures but the dress also has an overlay of ivory dots on it which exemplifys the 50s flair. My peep toe heels are from New Look and my clutch bag is from Next.
I absolutely love this moment that my Mum captured between me and my Auntie. And I thought I'd share it with you because you can see my pin up curls clearer and it might help you if any of you are trying to find a photo of a 50s pin up hairstyle.
I had a lovely time with my friends at Prom. Everyone looked fabulous and I wish everyone at my school and anyone who's just left high school all the best for the future. May you have a fun filled Summer and a brilliant start at whatever you go on to do.
