Jay, Amber and I all went to Pigeon Forge yesterday for a day trip. Daycation! I will be telling you about that in a few days. At any rate, many of you may have read posts about Amber going to prom in a few months and about how we have been looking for the perfect prom dress. Well, we have looked at many prom dress stores and websites and she finally picked out the perfect dress last night. And we got it at the mall. Can you believe that?
It Turns Out That Prom Dress Stores Can Offer Beautiful, Frugal Dresses
On the way home from Pigeon Forge last night, we stopped at the mall in Bristol {not sure if it was the Tennessee or Virginia side} to see if we could find her a prom dress there. We searched the internet for prom dress stores before because we know nothing about Bristol. When we got to the mall, we checked out two prom dress stores and she found the dress that she wanted at Deb really quickly and it was only $75! That is quite the steal.
Last year when we went shopping for her dress to wear to the Opera in New York City, we ended up getting her dress at Hanes Mall in Winston-Salem, NC – also at Deb. This one was like $110 or $120. You can see the dress Amber wore in New York on Eat Play Rock. I think that both dresses are gorgeous. It amazed me that some people spend hundreds of dollars on a dress that they wear once and then stick in their closet, probably to never wear again. I know that Amber hasn’t worn hers from last year since.
Now To Find Shoes, Jewelry and Hair Accessories
At any rate, now we have to find shoes {the shoes at the same store where we got the steal on the dress were like $50 a pair – no thanks}, jewelry and she wants a pretty clip for her hair. Do you guys have any suggestions of prom dress stores or sites where we can find these things for a decent price? Also, do you guys have any suggestions for what shoes would look good with this dress? I am thinking silver and sparkly high heels. Do you agree?

My niece just picked out her prom dress and it has that same hemline. It seems to be a popular look for prom this year.
I love the hemline and the ruffles! Can't wait to see the full ensemble of your daughters prom outfit.
Wow, what a gorgeous dress! Can't believe it's only $75 too! Sweet steal! I would love to see something simple and glittery for the accessories and shoes!
Yeah, and can you believe that it wasn't even on sale. That was just the price. I was shocked.
I like the color, $75.00 is a steel for a prom dress - you got off easy!
What a beautiful dress at such a great price! You had the perfect daycation!! :)
It really was the perfect daycation. You are right! :)
That's a gorgeous prom dress, especially for under $100! We will be prom dress shopping next year for my daughter, I hope we can find such a cute dress at a great price!
You found a beautiful prom dress at a good price. I agree that silver shoes would be the best.
Shopping for prom dresses can be such a challenge! it's always fun too though to add a new dress to your wardrobe.
