Closet Confection: Prom Night Remix

When: Friday, May 28th, 2010

Where: Bridgewaters at Southstreet Seaport

What: Gown ($69.99 Zac Posen for Target), velvet blazer (Banana Republic), shoes ($10 Steve Madden outlet store), clutch (Forever 21)

Yep, that’s right folks: My husband and I went to prom this weekend.  

AND WE HAD SO MUCH FUN!

My hubby teaches high school here in the city, so we both went to chaperone and to support his senior advisees on their big night.  I wasn’t sure what to expect since it’s been 10 years since my senior prom, but I will say that my husband made a much better prom date than the one I had in high school.

I also am very happy with yet another purchase from Zac Posen’s Target collection.  At first, I was going to return this dress because I couldn’t figure out where I’d wear an actual evening gown… with a train!  But I just couldn’t bring myself to do it because the dress was so freakin’ amazing.  It turned out to be a good idea that I held off.

The “photo shoot” for this post was the most fun I’ve had since I started Closet Confections.  It was really windy on Friday, so my train and hair were blowing in the wind and really helped pump up the glam factor.

To celebrate the fact that I’m way less self-conscious now than I was in high school, I decided to go with BOLD accessories.  Big red earrings. Bright red over-sized clutch. Purple 5-inch platform heels.

All in all, we had a great evening.  Now I can’t wait for homecoming next fall!
