My Dad has been going through all of his old slides and just sent me two pictures of what must be one of my senior proms (I went to all girls school so I went to my prom as well as my boyfriend’s).
I don’t think this was mine because I’m wearing my junior year prom dress (I did buy something new for my own) and my hair desperately needs a cut (I totally remember that – not getting around to it in time for the first prom that year).
This just screams DC catholic school to me. I look like I’m on my way to some cocktail party and not a high school dance. I have no funny pictures of over the top dance dresses or big bangs…but I must say – I did a fantastic job with the hairspray that night. My bangs are actually catching a tiny bit of air (back then I always resented how my hair refused to do anything but lie flat).
Anyway – in honor of prom season AND my 20th high school reunion last weekend (Visi ’90 baby!) there is my very unexciting blast from the past. A least I wore big earrings.
HEART! DC Catholic school and all!
I think that look works :)
I think it's fabulous that you wore a brooch!
I love the pic. At least you had taste adn didn't wear some of the sleazy things others wore. Your hair reminds me of my hair in the 80s. It was just about as long and poker straight(although blond). Everytime we went out I had to fool with the hot curlers for two hours. Now that straight is the style, it's curley/wavey. Can I ever win?!
Super fun, Kate! I think I had enough teased hair for both of us. It might be fun to have a prom picture blog carnival.
