"Sacrificing comfort for fashion..."

DD got asked to Prom!! She's SO excited since she's only a freshman, and at her high school, only juniors and seniors get invitations, so you have to be asked by someone in those classes. She's never even been on a date, so it's a lot of pressure to have your first date be prom. And at our one high school town school, they only have ONE dance a year -- prom.

Anyway.

We only had a day to get her dress since Sunday was Easter, so here are the dresses she tried on in the order that she did:

We started at David's Bridal with this dress DD said was comfortable and elegant. Alex and I liked it, but weren't ready to say this was "the one."
Next we went to the mall, and this one really popped. It wasn't as comfortable and was more expensive. I loved it and DD thought it might be too loud.
This one was ill-fitting and color wasn't as good.
This gold dress was a little too high and also needed alterations.
This dress was Alex and my's favorite - it fit like a glove on DD and was SO cute in person, but not so much in pictures. DD felt it was too va va voom.
This dress was not age appropriate for a freshman but was still cute.

So! The winner??? Drumroll please?

The turquoise one. It seems age appropriate. Will "pop" in a dark party room with twinkly lights. And she will just have to sacrifice comfort for fashion.

Ahhh, the joys of being a woman...
