Just One More Prom...

So geeky. But I love it. 

I went to prom with my friend Jack last weekend! It was so fun! This was the first time (um, in my life?) that I attempted to wear a floor-length gown. It was an incredible dress. Goodness gracious. But it was from Rent-The-Runway, so it had to be sent back promptly, which broke my heart. I LOVED this dress, you guys. It's a David Meister, and it felt like a dream. I had these shoes that were perfect for the dress, but when the dress actually arrived I saw that it was much longer than I originally planned. So I had to wear 5-inch wedges! But I lasted pretty long in them. I credit that to fashion week and running in heels. haha

Dress: David Meister via Rent The Runway

Bracelet: Forever21

Headband: Claire's

Clutch: Jessica McClintock

Shoes: DSW

The idea of wearing a headband never occurred to me until the day before prom when I was at the mall! I just saw this one at Claire's and I just knew it was for me! 

Jack is an AMAZING drummer (check him out!), and his whole family loves music. So, getting some shots with some of their guitars was necessary (and hilarious). 

Jack told me while we were in the car driving to the meetup house that none of his friends bothered to get dates. I thought he was kidding. He wasn't. So, that was interesting. haha. They were awesome guys, though. 

We had so much fun!

I finally have pictures from prom to show you! Sorry it took a few days. Prom was fun. Four of my best girlfriends came over to help me get ready, and we had a really good time. I went with my friend Alexander (it was his Junior Prom) and I think it was a good experience overall.

Almost done!

(I love how creepy my little sister can be.)

Mother dearest helping me with last-min makeup before I walk out the door. As you can see, we decided not to go with the chignon. Once I tried the dress on, we realized that having the hair down was a essential. it was such a fun look, and having the hair up would have made it a bit boring.

I was pretty happy with my makeup and nails. We went simple with makeup (like I wanted) but not TOO simple. I went with a berry-tinted lip, pink blush, and darker golds and browns around the edges of my eyelids. Oh, and mascara. Lot's of mascara.

(and this, Ladies and Gents, is The Girl In The Check Scarf. hahaha)

I was REALLY happy with how my dress turned out! The length was PERFECT and it fit despite being a wee bit tight. (The top is corset-like and doesn't have any give at all. Scary stuff.) Luckily, we made it work.

I'm honestly going to miss this dress. What other girl can say that their prom dress had pockets? Rent The Runway is the best.

(can you find my puppy in this pic?)

A few of my friends were there as well! This is Cassie (left) and Michaela. How gorgeous are they??? 

Whew. Prom was fun. One down, two to go. Let's do this.
