A New Favorite Prom Dress Shopping Site


I have been shopping lately on the web site, www.theoutnet.com. It is a great place to find bargains, and their return policy is pretty good. They have a lot of great dresses for prom, and if you watch the dresses you like, the prices sometimes go down, or they often offer additional discounts to their email subscribers.

It is just another place where you might find you get more for your money, which is where we all are right now, right? As always, read their return policy carefully, and make sure that you can return an item that isn't quite right...

That being said, this might be a good place to find that perfect dress for your perfect prom night!

I Loved Kelly Rowland’s Hair!

Kelly Rowland made such great choices for her 2012 Grammy Awards Red Carpet walk last Sunday night.  Let me count the ways:
1. Her blush colored beaded gown by Alberta Ferretti was a stunner.  It looked fabulous!
2. Her earrings . . . they were just the right length to set off her face!
3. Her make-up was subtle and soft.  It flattered her already beautiful features.
4. But my favorite part of her look was her hair!  It framed her face perfectly.  It almost formed a little cloud around her face.  So cute!
This might be a case where the sum is greater than the parts.  That is when your fashion choices truly come together to make a memorable look!

Are You Looking for a Sophisticated Prom Look?

Taylor Swift's gown was beautiful at the 2012 Grammy Awards held Sunday, February 12th at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.  It was a gold and nude gown by Zuhair Murad absolutely covered in detailed sequins.  She wore her hair up off her neck and her make-up was subdued.
Overall her look was polished and sophisticated.  She was lovely... Is this a look you'd like for prom?

Grammy Va Va Va Voom!

The Grammy Awards Red Carpet may be the most fun fashion walk of awards season.  Even with the somber tone due to the loss of Whitney Houston, our musical celebrities were still in their fashion best for the evening at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California on Sunday evening.

Katy Perry was really glamorous in her light blue gown by Elie Saab.  And of course, because it was the Grammies, she dyed her hair to match!  She is beautiful and this gown was beautiful on her.  It set off her eyes, and her amazing figure.

This might not be exactly what you have in mind for prom, but the spirit of the look is one that might resonate with your fashion sense.  The dress itself was soft and feminine, and of course the hair and make up were bold!  The look created a fun balance between the two.  If you are a combination of feminine and bold, this might be a choice for you!

Buy Anything Jason Wu

 I haven't written about Jason Wu's Collection for Target yet because I mostly was worried about whetting people's appetite, and then ...all sold out!
But it looks like Jason Wu's items have been better stocked than other lines in the past.  So if you have been in a coma for the past month, and missed the Jason Wu opening designs, you can still go online and find some of them at www.target.com.
Do it!  They are sooo cute!

Different Tones of the Same Color

I love the multi-tones approach to dressing for spring.  Wearing various green tones, blue tones, or coral tones is a softer way to get a sleek look.  That is, it adds a little playfulness to what may be a more sedate approach to wearing all one color.
I love the jewel quality of this look.  It makes you look ready, but also able to not take yourself so seriously.
I think after a long winter, you are doing great not to take yourself so seriously.  And different tones of the same color allow you to do that with style!
