Prom has come and gone once again! A couple months ago when everyone started on the search for a prom dress, I was dreading it and trying to avoid it at all costs. I was not the least bit excited to go dress shopping or browse online stores for hours because prom is a lot of work (especially for girls). In order to be more excited for prom, the last prom I would be attending for my school (I have one more left but for a different high school!), I came up with the idea to do something different. I don't love wearing dresses in the first place, so with that came the idea to wear a suit. I decided on all black, in order to keep it classic but added statement accessories to make the look more feminine.

Hair
I decided to do a half up half down top knot hair style this year. I got my hair done by Amy at the salon Reve in Red Bank. She has done every prom hair of mine and always kills it!
And lastly... some pics with my favorite people.
