Leave the silver at home cuz it's all about being a 24-carat babe at this year's prom. Check out what you need to accessorize your dress!
Prom Shoes and Accessories
Prom Accessories - Jewelry
Gold is the hot and
heavy metal this year.
Gold chain necklaces, which have replaced last season's
wooden beads, will give a bold edge to your glamorous
prom dress. Grab a pair of
filigree earrings, which is a type of jewelry design using
twisted threads, and then flip your hair back with a braided, velvet or satin
hairband.
Prom Accessories - Purses
Oversized purses are a
top trend, but you can't exactly lug a big bag to the prom, so stick to
clutches and wristlets in bright colors, shades of gold and
funky patterns. They're just big enough to fit your
cell phone, a few bills and some
make-up for quick touch-ups.
Prom Accessories - Shoes
Don't
teeter around on four inch heels unless you want to be nursing your
aching feet instead of dancing on them!
Wedges are great for girls who don't normally wear heels cuz they give you the height without the discomfort. Another hot shoe is the
peep-toe sandal - they're
retro chic, so your mom may even have a pretty pair hiding in the back of
the closet. If you're not a fan of heels, then try an
open-toe flat on for size, but remember to get a
pedicure cuz your toes will be peeping out of these
shoes.
