Why Must I be a Teenager in Love?

Ah prom season is upon us, and in a small but perfect dedication to that special time here is a little selection of perfect outfits for that perfect night.

And for those of us that are not teenagers…well. I think we'd look pretty damn, well, pretty, in these lovely arrangements too!

Enjoy my beauties…

    I’m in grad school now, and while my first thought is “I love these!”, they are SO expensive. For my prom back in 2003, I bought a vintage dress, used shoes I already had, and my mom bought me a necklace that matched black earrings I borrowed from my grandmother. Prom outfit for $28? Yes. It can be done…
    Thus, it would be GREAT to see some looks under $100 for those girls who really can’t afford to spend over $600 on dress/shoes/accessories. I love the above options…I would just never be able to afford them!

    It’s a good point Bridget. I did the same for my prom…vintage everything and fresh flowers in my hair…
    Hopefully people will be able to garner inspiration from these even if they can’t afford them.
    Thanks for your input.

    Oh man, I wish so much I could go back to my prom, and completely re-do my outfits like these. I really don’t remember there being any stylish options when I was in high school. Although I don’t think I had any fashion sense in high school either.
    I am voting for some adult proms, just so I can dress up again. Thanks for including my ring by the way. *muah*

    Gah–I didn’t mean to sound so…mean. I really do like the inspiration boards! And I loved that used Etsy as a source :)
    Some cool dress options available on Etsy:
