Prom Dress... Funky

Quick Tip

*Make an Entrance

You might have a tummy full of butterflies, but no one needs to know but you. When you walk into your prom this year, hold your head up, shoulders back, tummy in and smile at everyone. If the faces are unfamiliar, smile at them anyway.

*Stockings... The Right Color

Be sure that the color you choose, ties your outfit together. There is nothing worse than a black dress worn with navy stockings. And yes, I’ve seen this combination before. The only thing that I can think of is that the woman had nothing else to wear and thought that no one would notice. Stock up on "nude" stockings. That way you always have a fresh supply of stockings to choose from and won’t have to rely on whatever you happen to have on hand.

*Your Evening Bag

Remember to keep the size and color of your evening bag in keeping with the dress you are wearing. The bag that you carried last year, might not work with this years dress.
