Accessories for Prom: Evening Bags and More!



Oh my gosh, I cannot believe prom is almost here! I was pretty much unaware of the fact that it is now March until I stumbled across display after display of prom dresses at the mall the other day. Where has the time gone? Oh well, it was actually nice seeing all of the pretty prom dresses for this year. It brings back some fond memories for me. Hehe... I was even tempted to try some on. You know, just for fun! And I hear short prom dresses (like the one pictured above) are in this year. Not only are they super cute, but also super easy on the wallet. I bet many of the mothers I saw out shopping with their daughters were delighted to see these less expensive styles. But all of this reminiscing about the good ol' days got me to thinking about (you guessed it) accessories. After all, every girl needs the right accessories to complete her dream look for prom. So I thought it would be fun to write a blog post about accessories for prom, just for all you high school gals out there! Below you'll find some of my favorites. But don't worry, they too are easy on the wallet. There's nothing here that's over $50! Enjoy!

Want to add a splash of color to your prom look? I really love this Jessica McClintock E/W Bow Clutch. It is just so cute! And, of course, the Teal is gorgeous!
Only $36 at Zappos.com!

If you're looking for something simple, the Steve Madden Dalia Clutch may be just what you're looking for. I really like the simple shape and the gentle scrunching of the fabric. Very classy!
Only $40 at Zappos.com!

Retro-chic is definitely in for prom 2010, so check out the Jessica McClintock Pleated Frame Clutch! I think the little pleats look so sweet!
Only $42 at Zappos.com!


Top off your look with an adorable headband! The Tasha Fluttering Flower Headband comes in Black/White, Light Pink, or Lilac.
Only $38 at Nordstrom!

And don't forget the shoes! These Chinese Laundry Whirl Sandals are available in either Black or Silver. They are perfect for dressing up one of those new, short prom dresses.
Only $69 at Macy's!

Oh Jessica McClintock, lol. Thinking back, I think my prom dress and purse were by her!

My pick is the pleated frame. It's cute because it seems the most wearable post-prom.

I love the Jessica McClintock clutch. Looks like a Santi clutch!

the hairband is also very pretty.

Oh no, the shoes aren't on sale anymore. Well, everything here WAS under $50.

You know what else I want to do? Try on wedding dresses! LOL!

I love that headband and that dress! It's been a long time since I've had to think about prom! lol

^^^ Isn't that dress cute? I wish they had had stuff like that when I was in high school.

^^^ Hahaha! But the dress is so cute!

Although I guess it would make access easier out on the dance floor. I've been hearing problems of kids literally getting busy out on the dance floor in front of everyone.

When I went prom dress shopping four years ago, I tried on a wedding dress just for kicks at the gown shop.

Haha! I know, isn't it fun? I told Mr BRS that we should get married again just so I can have fun picking out another wedding dress. LOL

Very. They had to make rules here that girls had to be wearing underwear in order to enter the dance. When I heard that, I was like WTH? It's sad that that is something people are having to even think about... and check for.
