The 80's Prom We Never Had*

This post is best served hot with a side of pictures. 

(drumroll please...) 

Presenting! The Roommates! 

And their lovely thrifted dresses!

Here we have Katie, in her sleek and sequenced evening wear. The well placed hip pleats and poufs only enhance her shapely curves while the sequenced bodice is not only modest but subtly flirty. Miss Katie enjoys playing volleyball (watch out for her spike!), art projects and teaching children how to read and enjoy history. She’s definitely one to snag!

Miss Lisa here always keeps it sassy with her well placed tulle headband. Her fashion sense is never off, pairing a bright patterned top and sleek black bottom, makes it an ideal dress for evenings out or a day at the office. Lisa saves the world from HIV/AIDS  through her melodic karaoke voice. But back off guys! Rumor has it, she’s taken!

Business casual best describes this summer dress with its cheery colors and coordinating necklace. The perfect dress to wear to an evening at the park or to church the next day. Miss Lauren's excellently coiffed side bun only adds to the overall ambiance. And don’t let that stern face fool you! She enjoys cooking, reading and spending time with friends.

Miss Deborah represents our fun and flirty evening wear, the forest green sleeve puffs coordinate spectacularly with the beaded and sequenced bodice. The height of her bangs creates a lovely, enviable silhouette. Debbie packs a mean tennis serve and cooks up a delicious Egg in a Basket. Better snag her fast guys! She won’t be single for long!

The jewel of our show, Miss Holly elegantly transforms this ivory dress turning it into a spectacular spectacle of the 80’s at their finest. Her manicured bangs and French braid pull the look together in a perfectly simple yet gorgeous manner. The beading on the bodice pairs excellently with the hemline, and the angle of the shoulders. Holly enjoys rock climbing, brisk walks and drawn out cinematic romances, she’s looking for her real life Darcy.

*Clarification on the evening:

• done for a Thrift Store dance held by our ward
• the dance was awkward, the music was good, and we were by far the best dressed
• dresses, with the exception of Katie's (DI), were purchased at Unique
• hair done by Lisa
• make up partially done by me
• jewelry courtesy of Lisa's grandmother

unfortunately we only got a group picture at the end of the night and Holly didn't come home with us, but still. we're looking pretty good...
