So... It's prom season. SENIOR prom, for Emma and me. And with online shopping being my default action, I couldn't help but do a little (a lot) of browser shopping. So this post is to just organize my thoughts just for record.

Personally, I started out excited to try a long dress - something I haven't done before - but I just doesn't work for me. There's something uncomfortable about a traditional long gown for me (especially strapless, I mean, it is a dance. Ya gotta be able to dance.)

My former Prom-spiration ideas were as follows:
| left dress - ASOS | earrings - Kastor & Pollux // right dress - UO | armlets - Threadsence |
But they were AXED, as I found myself remembering that low necklines/strapless make me feel DISCOMFORT. Also I cringe even thinking to hem them to fix the ever-long length (I am lazy to no end.) In conclusion: Pretty, BUT NO DICE.

So taking from these esoteric revelations, I'm trying to go for a shorter dress!
These are resulting ~~prom-moods~~:
*SWEET- this is the option I'm leaning most towards^.^ I enjoy the idea of pairing it with dainty accessories.
*QUIRKY- I thought this one was super fun and bubbly, especially with the mainly monochromatic theme with pops of coral.
*GLAM- I love the bold color and sequins in the casual silhouette of a t-shirt dress and I think the pairing of a snakeskin pattern gives it another dimension but doesn't make it too busy.
*VINTAGE- I don't know why I put this is. I mean I LOVE this dress. But it's out of stock. And I'm left wistfully reloading the page like a stalker.

Hope everyone else is having a fun prom season! Are you ready yet?
