I miss prom. Still, almost a year on. If you're some of the lucky ones with a prom this year, I envy you! I understand not all schools hold proms for Year 11s but luckily for us - mine did.
I didn't choose a dress until way later than I had hoped to, if my memory serves me well it was just before Whitsun last year - my prom was June 29th.
This was my dress - I found it at a local shop specializing in occasion dresses, it is absolutely nothing like the 'bright blue definitely not long maybe mullet hem but not long' dress I'd always claimed I would get but without sounding TOO cheesy, I tried it on and absolutely fell in love with it completely. My jewellery was really simple, I had a bracelet that was decorated with crystals with a interlocking pattern, a necklace which was like a little glass perfume bottle and earring complimenting my bracelet - all of which were from Accessorise I believe. My bag was grey crocodile print with a knuckle duster style handle, I cannot for the life of me remember where it was from but I want to say Boohoo/Missguided. I had a spray tan and eye lashes a few days beforehand, and my hair cut and dried so it was wavy, then I put it on the side and pinned it how I wanted it, and nails painted (French polish) on the day. I don't have any photos with my shoes in bt they were white slingbacks absolutely covered in diamanté and they were stunning!
Myself and Morgan who brought about 7 ties with him to see which matched my dress best, aw.
My gorgeous friends looking so smart!
Alys, Rachael, Iszzy, Emilie, Libby, Sophie, myself, Dayna and Charlotte (L-R)

A rather long shot of all of us before heading to the school

Am I getting carried away with all this reminiscing? Lydia and I.

A natural one of myself and Emilie laughing! (I'd like to point out someone is standing behind me and my shoulder doesn't jut out that much, it took me a while to figure out)
