I know Christmas is barely over, and in fact not over for many, including me, but if you have a teen daughter, it’s not too early to be thinking about prom dresses and gowns. I really was blessed when DD#1 went to the prom. We found the perfect dress for her on clearance for 30 bucks. It was a very classically cut gown that worked very well for her body type, and the color was a stunning claret that shimmered to almost-black as the fabric moved. We accessorized with austrian crystals, and she was a beautiful. Looks just like her mother, you know 😉

I always think classic is better than trendy, and she shares similar taste in clothes for special occasions. It was a pleasant experience for us to shop together, and she definitely looked better than the many girls who wanted to see just how little dress they could get away with. Very Monroe-esque. Really. I have pictures to prove it.
