Life Went prom dress shopping with my 17 year old ..Royal blue was our mission. - Page 5

Gracie Dean · 11:17 AM

She is actually doing her Jr/Sr year all in the same year so this is her only prom.

We usually do not make a good pair when shopping for her, our tastes are NOT in sync.

Today...we went to one store, didn't like anything there...either of us.

I suggested SEARS...she said oh mom, that is such a low end old lady clothes store, they won't have anything...

I said, well, lets just go see... (mom isn't stupid and was once 17)

We ride up the escalator and right at the top was the most beautiful blue dress with puffs (Imagine the gold ball dress of Belle from Beauty and the Beast only strapless)

she said, well they probably won't have my size, and it will have to be altered...

first dress was the correct size

I said try it on. she said okay

tried it on...FITS like a GLOVE even the length and the bust...we noswad women are blessed with ample cleavage.

she said but it's 169 dollars...(she didn't know dad said we could go to 250)

I said that is okay...

I asked if she liked it...she said yes it was perfect and just what she had in mind.

I said do you want to look anywhere else...she said no, someone might take this one. I said well lets buy it then. She said but it is expensive...I said it was within budget.

Get to the register SALE we got it for 149 after taxes ect...

SO Shoes to go with it.. strappy little silver numbers.

All in all it was a GREAT day

yea my prom dress cost 42 bucks but of course that was in 1983

What did you sacrifice Claythan? The prom? Its no big deal really, I went in my Jr. year, but skipped the Sr. year cause there were better things to do. My senior party was a different story, that was really fun.

no she is not

she was accepted and received a pretty good scholarship to the School of Engineering at WSU, but she has also pre-committed to the military. ( I am still hoping she doesn't finalize that)

I wasn't allowed to go to any prom. My mom is a very strict fundamental Baptist and dancing is a huge NO NO

It was between KU and WSU for me. Both have pretty good programs for my major. In the end, I went with KU. It's where I've always wanted to go and I couldn't say no to the childhood dream.

I understand, my dad was very protective, I went to the prom, but had to beg to do it. My Sr. party was fun, but we had it on a Sat night and I had to promise to be in Church for Sunday school !!!! I was sick and it was not a good feeling to have the preacher screaming his sermon and my head pounding.

But I did at least get to go and I have those memories, it was fun.

*we were also raised Baptist.

We had to be in church every time the doors were open. I think I got burned out on church growing up and unfortunately I do not go anymore, I haven't went to church since I left home.

yea, it didn't make sense of why he would take a sentence about a preachers sermon and make something dirty out of it. I still don't see how the words "the preacher screaming his sermon" can be made into anything but that.

Maybe my mind isn't dirty enough.

yep, what about tent revivals where you sit inside of a tent and lightening striking all around. Bible school, out of town revivals where we took the church bus. Sunrise services, homecomings, new years eve where they preached all damn night like 5 different preachers. OMG it sucked.
