OOTD - Prom Party!!!

When I got an invite for a family friend who was having a rock/prom party to celebrate a host of celebrations this year which had happened - a 50th Birthday, an 18th birthday and a 16th birthday all in the space of a few months - I knew I was going straight down the prom theme. I did briefly look at the rock side but who doesn't want the excuse to don a pretty dress and heels?

In the last few years, I have accumulated some lovely dresses what with one for my 18th, 2 lots of graduation and various weddings and parties I had a few to choose from. However yesterday when on the morning of the party I finally decided to sort out what I was going to wear I was shocked to find that 3 or 4 of my dresses were wayyyyyyy to big! Including one I brought at christmas I have only had on once! Heres what I went with...



Dress - New Look - £12 in the sale around Christmas
Tiara - Claires Accessories - £2.50 in the sale
Bracelets - Peacocks - £4
Necklace - Primark - *I think* around £3

I brought this dress back at christmas and I have only worn it once. When I brought it the piece of lace you can see across the chest wasn't included - it was something I added in (or rather my Nanna sewed in for me) and I think really adds something to just a plain LBD. I teamed it with my old faithful glittery heals which I love and are perfect for dancing the night away! I stole the below photo from when I wore them a few months ago but just so you can see them! 

What do you think about customising your clothes? Have you ever adding in a bit of detail to make something jazzed up a little??
