Fashionably Late? Or just late?

Nananananananananananananananana Batman! I'm Batman. Not really, I'm just really late for a prom post. 

So while I was shopping for my dress, sadly, I couldn't find the perfect one. Which totally sucks. But, I found a beautiful red dress that would work just fine. It was too long and the straps were loose, so I had my aunt hem the bottom and shorten the straps. She also made my corsage and Justin's boutonniere. And while they were both beautiful, the white flowers and black lace didn't exactly match the red dress.

And on another note, I had a fabulous time at prom. We went to this amazing Italian restaurant called Bella Napoli. In the middle of dinner, my phone went off, it was my friend Taylor and she said, "I see you." I looked up and BAM! She was across the room. It was quite interesting.

So my lovely people, I am sorry that this is so short, but prom was a while ago and there's really nothing else to say.

Stay beautiful my lovelies.

P.S. I was recently in Houston for the TMTA convention, and I had to wear this beautiful red dress. The straps can be tied many different ways, but they weren't long enough to do much with them. *Please ignore my totally weird looking selfie.*

P.P.S. I tried to attend Justin's high school graduation, but the stupid power went out and I didn't get to see him walk. I was so FREAKING PISSED.

Disney Prom 2014

"Do not be fooled by its common place appearance. Like so many things, it is not what is outside, but what is inside that counts" -From the movie Aladdin

Here K and I are sitting at our Princess and the Frog themed table.

K, Samantha, Felicity, and I went to Prom on Saturday night; and let me just say that everyone looked absolutely beautiful. The theme was Disney and I really wanted to incorporate a little bit of the magical Disney vibe into my outfit without completely dressing up as one of my favorite princesses. I decided to go with a lighter look so I bought a dress that was mostly white. The top is a red/maroon velvet with rhinestone jewels going down. Normally I don't wear long earrings but Prom is one of those occasions where you either go big or go home. I also wore a pair of black and white shoes to wear with this dress because they made me feel classy.

If you haven't seen K's blog post Prom 2014: Pretty In Pink then be sure to check it out to hear all about her Prom outfit!

Unfortunately, there was really bad wind and our hair kind of suffered but we managed to rock the messy hair (I hope). Overall, the evening was fun and although we couldn't quite hear each other over the loud music, we managed to fit in a few laughs. 

After dancing for most of the night K, Samantha, and I headed to the bathroom for a quick touch up on our hair and makeup.

After prom was the best part of the entire night however. K, Samantha, myself, and our friend Stef, her boyfriend, and Stef's mom all went to McDonald's to get some chicken nuggets (yum) and it made it all worthwhile. 

Here is our attempt to look cute and in sync with one another XOXO (From left to right: Bre, K, Felicity)

We'd love to hear all about what you wore (or are planning to wear) to prom. Also, don't be afraid to ask for advice from any of us. We'll be happy to help make your special night less stressful.

Until we meet again,

Your faithful friend

Prom 2014: Pretty In Peach

Last night was Prom Night. The night we've been waiting for forever! and here's what I wore:

I wear long dresses a lot. Like at least once every-other month. So instead I wanted to wear a suit. I was first inspired to wear a suit to a school dance by Blaise Harmon who is a character  in L. Jane Smith's "Spellbinder" in her Night World series. Plus, I just think they look so classy.

This beautiful peach suit is from Victoria's Secret (Jacket, $98, Pants $59.50). Kind of pricey, but so worth it. I love it, and I can wear it for all kinds of occasions. Under the jacket I'm wearing a sheer black Lily White top from Dillard's, and a black lace Guess bustier, $90, also from Dillard's. The shoes I bought 

at a store called Waltz (brand is Speed Limit 98, style is FLOWER-S), and they were only twenty bucks!

I finished it off with a bright orange lippie, a bold black wing, and some pearl earrings my mother bought in China.

Prom was a blast, but I think I had the most fun eating chicken nuggets at McDonald's afterwards, with Bre, Sam, Stef, and Stef's boyfriend and mother (Thanks Gigi!!). Which just goes to show: it's not how much you spend, or how fab you look that makes a night, but the company you are in. And I was in some great company. And even though tickets were utterly overpriced for what it was, and I spent way too much money for three hours of jumping on an overcrowded dance floor, I wouldn't have missed Senior prom for anything (except maybe a Gaga concert, or Miley, or Lana...).

What did you wear to your prom?
And what do you think of female suits?

Until I catch up on sleep - Kae, xoxo
