Prom? Nordstrom? Blasphemy!

 Alright narwhals, I've got something near and dear to my heart that I must share with you. Nordstrom's junior department, BP is currently selling prom dresses! If you're wondering why I'm so buzzed about this, it's because I'm on the BP fashion board. What is the BP fashion board? What is the BP fashion? What is the BP? What is the? What is? What?
 BP fashion board is a board of high school age kids (mostly girls but there's one guy) who meet once a month at a certain BP location to talk about trends, fashion news and upcoming things in BP. I don't think all states have a board, but Oregon does, so yippee! A month or two ago we talked about prom at one of the meetings and what we'd think about BP selling prom dresses, and now they're selling them! It feels really cool to see that Nordstrom has been listening to our feedback and took it into consideration.
 I've looked at the dresses and they're all really beautiful! There are tons of styles online for every body type and every price point!
Of course, I didn't mention this just to give Nordstrom a shoutout. I also wanted to share some of my favorite dresses!


Trixxi Sequin&Tulle Party Dress, $78.00
I absolutely adore this dress. Everything about it works for me. The sequins, the tulle at the bottom, the color, the silhouette. Of all the dresses they have, I think this one is my favorite. I'd pair it with glittery gold pumps to match the top of the dress and a wavy side fishtail braid.

As U Wish Strapless Sequin Ombre Mermaid Gown, $118.00
This dress really stood out to me because I love the ombre effect with the sequins. It really looks like a mermaid's dress! It would look really good on a tall and slim girl with strappy silver heels and wavy long hair, like a mermaid. This would also look fantastic on a girl with teal tips on her hair!

Hailey by Adriana Papell Embellished Jersey Gown, $129.00
This dress is absolutely stunning. It's very sophisticated with a little sex appeal from the lace cutout and the leg slit. It would look gorgeous with a red pump, red lip, cat eye and a deep side part.
Jessica McClintock Strapless Lace & Tulle Dress, $115.00
I love how adorable this dress is. It's really playful and fun but the black lace gives it some sophistication. Really great for prom. This one would look great with black heels and a voluptuous top bun.
Pisarro Nights Beaded Illusion Cocktail Dress, $148.00
Of course I love this dress. Though it doesn't scream "prom", how could I pass up a 20's style flapper dress? Love it. It evokes thoughts of hazy speakeasies and chill jazz bars. This one would look great with t-strap heels, a faux bob (there are some great tutorials on youtube) and a cute headband. Avoid feathered headbands and feather boas so it doesn't look like you're wearing a costume.
