Fashion Frenzy Friday #3: PROM EDITION

Hello :)
So all this week I have been (trying) to do prom related things on here. Although, I have come down with yet another cold, so it caused me to be in bed all week. So There will be two prom makeup looks next week. As for today, I have worked all week to make these perfect!
Here are some different prom looks and dresses that are trending now! I went prom shopping for my little sister (who is graduating grade 8!) and heres what I found. All of which I tried to make under 100$, or at a similar reasonable price.

These are just 3 different looks I put together:

white mint and purple prom
With short embellished dresses, it's better to go easy on the accessories. Adding a pop of colour to it will really make you stand out. And I put heels and flats because some people don't wear heels. Mint is big this spring too.
turquoise long prom
For longer dresses, go bigger on accessories, and hair. Especially with strapless, the necklace would be the statement. As for shoes, you really don't need something too crazy, because if your dress fit properly, they won't be seen.


pink and white
For neutral dresses (white, beige, brown, grey, or black) colour is key. This is a good way to really express yourself through your fashion. Choosing your favourite colour and making it the centre of your look. If you want your shoes and bag to stand out, make your jewellery simple, and vice versa.

Here are some other types of dresses and trends happening this season for prom:


neutrals
These ones are neutrals. For all different types of style choices.

feminine
These are feminine, they were sort of inspired by Taylor Swift. Very soft, and girly, with no harsh colour and not to much pazazz.

long
Long dresses are sort of fading for this season, but they are still gorgeous and traditional. Not many people choose to wear them, but if you do, it will look fabulous and you will stand out!

pinks
Pinks are always great, they are fun, and girly. These are for all different types of styles. From very girly, to outgoing, to classic and vintage.
poofy
These ones are so much fun! Poofy and colourful!

colorful/katy perry
Okay, these are inspired by Katy Perry, I really admire her street fashion, (but I hate her performance fashion!) I think her fashion is just so fun and carefree!



shoes
Heels for the ladies who choose them! Just go crazy with the shoes!

flats
When choosing flat shoes, gladiators and ballet styles are the best to choose. They are traditional, and won't soon go out of style.

Okay, so I have come up with a few tips for saving money on prom.
  • splurge on a dress, meaning spend the most of your budget on the dress
  • stick to accessories you can wear more then once
  • stick to shoes you can wear more then once, if you're lucky, shoes that would be great for the whole summer
  • ask around friends and family to see if they themselves or know someone who can work a sewing machine (for any possible alterations)
  • watch YouTube tutorials for hair and makeup looks
  • most of the makeup featured in peoples videos are generally cheap in price, or rings you probably already have
  • do your nails and toes yourself
I hope you all enjoyed, HAPPY PROM!
