The best part of the prom is the evening of the dance, but the runner up is finding the perfect dress. You spend hours searching, shopping, trying on dresses, searching the web, talking to seamstresses, and putting it all together.
You spend so much time figuring out the main outfit that you almost forget that there is more to it than this. You are having such a good time showing off the most beautiful dress you’ve ever worn that you put the accessories on the back burner.
The prom is about the dress, yes, but the completion is not possible without the entire combination of the ensemble plus the additives. The necklace, the shoes, and maybe even the shawl. You have to figure out how to make the dress you’ve just spent hours deciding on stand out in the crowd. You have to turn your dress into the eye-opening, mouth dropping outfit that will show off just how fab and stylish you are.
Whether your dress is classical elegance, or cute and sassy, the accessories will make the dress itself stand-out more and help it to be more visible. You want your date to be able to find you after getting the punch, right? So show off your style and your runway accents and you’ll be the highlight of prom night.
It is all about texture and accessories. For the classy look don’t be afraid to sport that glitzy tiara you’ve been eyeballing for months. Plus, you can use a small cluster of diamond-set brooches to glam up your one color, classic dress. By placing a brooch at the center point of your bosom you can add a touch of class to a simple styled dress. And shoot for the simple heels.
If you are shooting for glamorous make your accessories a lighter tone than your dress (unless it is white), maybe even a metallic hue. Go ahead and wear the dangling diamond earrings, and show off the pedicure with silver heels. Accent your tasseled up-do with gemstone pins for that detailed glam.
Of course if you plan to shoot for exotic then the elbow length black gloves come to mind. Show off your style by wearing your pearls and go all out with a pair of fun, strappy platform sandals and a flower clipped behind your ear.
