Prom season is just around the corner and with that, girls scrambling to buy their dresses.
But, have you seen the prices on some of them! Last time I checked prom was more of a fun occasion with a “hot date” and friends, not a teenage disguised wedding day that would break the bank. With the economy plunge there is no denying that dresses will be even harder to afford. Not to mention how fast they get bought up.
So I guess the direction this is going, is that dress shopping for prom keeps getting increasingly stressful. The pressure of picking the perfect dress is another emotional strain that is thrown on us girls.
Sure, the guys have to get tuxedos and dress up, but when you think about how stressed girls already are, (except for calm ones who I am increasingly jealous of) the stress of prom and picking THE DRESS can almost start to play mind tricks on you.
I know a girl who went off the deep end because she had a white dress and her boyfriend said it looked like a wedding dress. White is too attached to saying vows, orange is ugly, yellow makes you look like lemon, blue is overdone--what is a girl to do!
No matter how many "Teen Vogue"s you read cover to cover, it still is nerve racking. So in my opinion, with the prom season approaching and dress shopping starting to go underway, I would say that it’s important to remember how girls feel and cut them some slack on dress selections.
