Classy Girls Love Getting Formal

I absolutely love to dress up. Give me an excuse to do it, and I'll be throwing on a pair of heels, and thinking about the perfect dress to wear. I thought it would be a fun idea to look back on all of the dresses I've worn to some formal events from high school until now.

Junior prom- How presh...

Going to my friends senior prom...This is my Cinderella dress

My senior prom, and my all-time favorite dress and formal hairstyle EVER.

Sorority formal spring 2008

Sorority formal fall 2008

Sigh, it's so much fun to reminisce, isn't it?! Looking back, I have to say, I actually do still like all of the dresses, so yay!

Now it's your turn...I'd love to see some of my favorite blog girls do a post like this. Come on, you know you want to look through your old photos and find your pretty high school prom photos and share them with the bloggy world, right? Of course, right.

I've only been to my high school prom really... And I was a bridesmaid in a wedding, but otherwise that's it for my formal dresses. I think I'll still post it though, keep an eye out for it!

no, i didnt just pledge - I'm a junior and have been in my sorority since i came to college - i need a semester off - i had some problems on a ski trip i went on and got no support from any of my sisters and it just sucked and i just need a break from all of it to save money and keep up with school and stuff

Senior prom and Fall formal are my two favorites :)

You look soo pretty in all of them though!

I'd be kinda scared to look back at my Prom...I wore a yellow dress and went just a LITTTLEEE overboard with the tanning before it hahaa Orange & Yellow aren't so cute together =/

EP said...

You are just lovely. I miss sorority formals SO much. But oh man, my liver hurts just thinking about those days.

Carina the Blogarina said...

If had the photos I would post! Sadly all of those pictures are in albums, and not on the computer. I love the last dress - how very Lauren Conrad!

Larissa said...

I do have to say that you look gorgeous in that yellow senior prom dress! sigh, I remember prom...didnt quite end the way I wanted, but I felt like a princess in my Audrey Hepburn-influenced red dress. (i never dressed up, all the guys were looking ;D)

Love, love, love the Fall 2008 dress. So cute. Big fan of black and white.

Courtney said...

LOVEEEE the senior prom dress! Gorgeous! And the hair!

That damn expat said...

I like the last one.

I love dresses and wear them all the time. Formal schmormal. My blog, however, is anonymous so you'll have to imagine them.

Thomas said...

never understood the whole dress up thing?

Is it just me or am I a dirty, boring old man?

What a great idea for posting!! I'll have to look through all the photos I've scanned and the ones from college :)

I love the spring formal one :)

caitlyn said...

TuTu's Bliss said...

Very classy, all the way. My recap would have a few more fashion bumps and most of it occured predigital (the difference several OOPS I mean one year makes)Thanks for giving me giving me a sorority days flash back. Hugs, Jen

Ally said...

I was a product of the 90's which means my dress choices were uhm, we'll just say 'so-so'. It also means that none of my pictures are digital (digital cameras weren't even invented yet). Ok now I feel old.

Kristen said...

OMG the senior prom dresss is so nice!!! not too complex but soo pretty.

I feel so old saying this but all the fancy dresses I've worn are from before the time digital cameras made a big splash. And I only had my senior prom in 2001!! I'll dig up some pics!!

bethis said...

PRETTY!!

I don't have any of mine digitally or I would. And I don't think I have anything since my proms because I didn't really have any formals in college.

My favorite is your dress from this year... I love that one.

erin said...

Oh I love this idea! I'll have to wrangle up some pics... I think they're all in storage!

Jamie said...

Pretty dresses. I love wearing a new dress. Sometimes it makes me wayyy tooo happy!

Passionista said...

I love your hair in the last pic, did you do that yourself? Wow!

Jules said...

Jacqueline said...

You're beautiful and I love your dresses. Does your sorority do date parties as well?

Such a cute post! I love all those dresses. I don't think I have many old formal pics with me here in NYC, but I'll check. I would love to do a post like this.

Katelin said...

i loved going to dances and formals, always so much fun. i guess now that's what weddings are for, haha.

Rachel said...

how adorable are you? really. i don't know if i have a whole lot of pictures from dances and stuff, i think they are all in storage, which bites. this was such a cute post idea, i loved seeing all the dresses. :)

Kate said...

Gosh you look different (in a good way) in all of these photos! I love your most recent dress :)

ablogofherown.wordpress.com said...

Hmm this is an interesting idea. Unfortunately, I don't think i even know where my pictures of formals are....

that's so sad.
