    Default Going to the prom...........

    after saying for months that she was NOT going, my dd has decided to go the prom LOL. She didn't want to go because noone asked her. She is very old fashioned and even after I told her it would be ok to ask a male friend to go as her date she refused. She said "girls do NOT ask guys out!" Anyway, most of her friends decided that they were going without dates too so she is now going. She is such a thrifty girl.....I've taught her well!

    Pink prom dress bought at Goodwill 6.95

    Yellow dress bought at thrift store 10.00 + 12.00 to have it altered

    Purple dress FREE This dress was custom made by my great aunt for my younger sister to wear to her prom several years ago. It's very much back in style now and fits dd like a dream! This is the one she has decided to wear

    Black heels new, on clearance at Walmart 3.00

    Black clutch purse 4.00

    Jewerly 3.00

    Hose 1.00

    Black wrap 16.00

    Stuff to do her nails 9.00 We are going to attempt to do the french tips ourselves

    Hair for the prom FREE dh's sister is a hairstylist and is going to do it

    Total cost for what she's wearing - 36.00

    Total spent in all - 64.95

    Not bad for a prom!!

    Really good savings! How much for the prom bids (tickets)?? That is where the gouge is. Ugh.

    I hope your DD has lots of fun at the prom. Don't forget to budget in the cost of pre-prom dinner, prom pictures, after-prom party (atleast we had a hs sponsored after prom party) etc!

    Good for her! I've seen some kids at pre-prom dinners at Pizza Hut. It was cute and fun looking.

    No pictures, dinner or after party here! She doesn't want to have the official pictures taken since she is going alone. She will eat dinner here and come straight home afterwards. Our school doesn't have an after prom party.
