The Prom Date

After my last post 10 things about me where I had mentioned that I had been to a few proms and had worn a different dress to each one I decided to share pictures with you. This totally reminds me of that movie "27 dresses". You know where she had a closet full of bridesmaids dresses. Or the movie "the wedding date". Except these are prom dresses,not bridesmaid dresses, although I do have a bridesmaid dress, a dress I wore to a wedding, and my own wedding dress that I have since added to the collection . And I wasn't paid to attend any of these events.

So we will start from the beginning.
1.)My sophomore ring dance, It was a semi formal dance where we were given our class rings. I saw this dress in a Delia's catalog and fell in love, and the shoes!!! I was crazy about those shoes!

This feels like a million years ago

2.) Prom #1
The boy I was dating at the time (same boy as pic #1...my first love awww) asked me to go with him to his prom, I was only a sophomore and I was so excited!

Can you tell I was excited?

I got my dress from a bridal boutique and had shoes to match. It was beautiful. Although  it wasn't my own prom, I admit, I had more fun at this one then the rest.

I probably smiled like that the whole time

3.) My junior year my boyfriend and I broke up and besides being heartbroken, I was a little disappointed that I would not be going to the senior cotillion, But a few weeks before the dance a friend who was also without a date asked me to go with him. I can't remember where this dress came from but it is still hanging in my closet.

4.)My Prom!! My prom was on a boat and was a great time, but like I said it wasn't AS fun as the previous prom I had been to. Maybe it is because I had already gone to one?

5.) My senior cotillion. I had a great time at this one. It was senior year, our last dance, ahh the memories...

Love these girls! We had S.O much fun.

6.)A boy I had known since kindergarten and I become pretty close friends for a little while and he invited me to his prom. This was a little awkward because I only knew a couple people and I pretty much just sat at the table all night.

7.)  I was actually supposed to go to this prom with a (guy) friend but he cancelled on me at the last minute and I had already bought the dress. So a close friend of mine was going alone and she asked me to come and keep her company. This one was also a little awkward not knowing that many people and the boy who had ditched me was there with his date ( no hard feelings though we we're still friends).

As  I was digging all of these pictures out and reminiscing about each one I remembered that a few years after I graduated high school I did go to another prom.  ( I could not find a picture of it) A friend of mine had a friend who didn't have a date so I tagged along. I did wear the same dress as the one in the picture above. So at least one dress got 2 wears out of it.


There you have it.. Instead of the wedding date, I was the prom date. Anyone need a prom dress? A prom date? I still have a few of these collecting dust in my closet.
