Prom: That word strikes fear into the hearts of mothers and fathers all over the country. Especially since I read this morning in the paper that the cost for Prom on a national average is now over $ 1000 dollars for things like the dress, the food, the party, the flowers, the tux, the photography. I am almost glad that I will not have to spend upteen hundred dollars on a dress for a daughter...I get to do the tuxes.
While I am too old to attend prom myself, I still enjoy looking at all the dresses. I have another reason to "window shop" for a formal this year. It is my husband's 10 year reunion for his military unit. This requires a trip to Savannah, GA, and they will have a formal night complete with photos, dinner and dancing. As a new mommy, I want to be respectably dressed, but as myself, I still want to be Jone. I don't want to be defined by my "mommyhood" status. I am still a relatively young woman and my mommy body is not at all atrocious. So, in other words, I want to look hot! I am really loving Number 3! Unfortunately, I am not a stand out in the crowd kind of dresser so my color palate is pretty basic: pinks, whites, blacks and grays. I am more after the things that make the dress special-a cut, a ruffle, a fit and less concerned with the color.
