Gabrielle's Prom Picks

Okay Ladies! Since it's officially prom season (cue collective groan from wallets) I thought I'd share with you what I'm going to be wearing to formal events this Spring!

 

 Here are the Links to what I wore:

1. Strappy Nude Heels
2. Lace Undershirt
3. Set of 3 Metallic Sparkle Headbands
4. Navy Blue Clutch (also worn here!)
5. Brocade Dress
6. Pink and Gold Nail Polish
7. Shorts Underneath (Not Pictured)

My sweet friend Kate (left) and me at one of the formals I attended this Spring.  Isn't she adorable?!  I swear, we didn't plan to match!

      Since I wanted to look cute while preserving my modesty, I chose to wear a matching undershirt beneath my strapless dress.  I actually prefer wearing strapless dresses with cute shirts or jackets to formal events, because strapless dresses tend to be less revealing up top, as well as having more structure and support.  Because this most dresses are a bit short on me (#tallgirlprobs) and I love to swing and ballroom dance, I wore a pair of black short underneath.

     I know that some of the things I wore are a bit pricey (I managed to get everything but the dress on sale), but I'm planning to wear this to four "proms" altogether. With that considered, I'd call this ensemble a rather good deal!

    As I was primping before the event, a Bible verse taped to my mirror caught my eye.

For those of you who don't read gold glitter (I have way too much fun making these things), it reads: "³ Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. ⁴ Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight." - 1 Peter 3:3-4

        I tried to keep these verses in mind as I dined and danced the night away.  I had a wonderful evening!  Perhaps because I wasn't focused on how I looked?  

          Here's a fun song to listen to while you're getting ready for your big event.  What a positive message it carries!  And remember, whatever you may be wearing, your outfit isn't complete without a smile!

          I hope this gave you some prom inspiration!  Comment below and tell me what YOU are planning to wear to your formal events this Spring!

Love,
