PROM

So Bloomingdales sends me e-mails to entice me to purchase things about every... day. And while at first I resented their self-satisfied pun-heavy subject lines, I've now come to welcome the distraction. And I'm not subscribed to e-mails from those online sample sale sites so I forgive myself this one. Not to mention Bloomingdales's website layouts are easy on the eyes.

Anyway, the one I got today reads:

So I took a look, and the dresses, well, some are divine, but a little out of reach... 

My favorite short option:

Sue Wong Strapless Feather Dress

PRICE: $528.00

A stunning strapless dress is styled with sparkling rhinestones and bugle beads at the midriff and hem and finished with a fine flurry of ostrich feathers. The fitted style is pleated at the bodice and has a flattering empire waist. 

This is beautiful. But what happens if you spill on ostrich feathers? ... No, seriously??

My favorite long option:

Tadashi Shoji Strapless "Feathery" Gown

PRICE: $808.00

For the most special event of your life... the "feathery" gown by Tadashi Shoji. Stunning design with strapless styling and pleated chiffon detail on bodice. Full-cut skirt flows to the floor. 

I mean, this dress is more than lovely (my own prom dress was a pale gold color similar to this 'champagne'.... sigh oh prom), but $808 for a prom dress? Really? 

Anyway, I guess this Adventureland movie and Bloomingdales email has put me in a nostalgic mood, haha
