I Took A Second Look At These Dresses

What do I love about summer? Long days of sunshine, no socks or layers, and summer dresses! Sometimes you can find an attractive summer dress in the most unexpected places. The hot pink Time and Tru Dress from Walmart caught my eye. Who would have thought you could find a stylish double cotton dress at Walmart? This one is a best seller with many good customer reviews. It comes in green and black too. If you need another summer dress, you can't beat its price!

Old Navy is a retailer where I expect and find lovely summer dresses to wear. I repeatedly write about the store because of it. Moreover, this year the merchant is stepping up its active and casual-smart style a notch by offering a new collection of special dresses called Occasion by Old Navy.

The crisp, smooth, silk-like taffeta fabric holds its shape, and once again, you can't beat the price for adorable style! Who would have thought to look at Old Navy for prom, party, or fancy date night dresses? A taffeta fabric is ideal for formal and structured garments like wedding dresses and christening gowns. You can't help but take a 2nd look! This is Old Navy? Why, yes, it is.

While the price points of Old Navy dresses are budget-friendly, they last longer than fast-fashion dresses. With the classic lines in this collection, you can wear them for years to come!

Round Up: Prom Dresses

Here in the USA as spring arrives (next Wednesday!) high school seniors have prom dresses on the brain. It's been decades since I went to my high school prom. My parents let me go to a bridal shop to buy my gown. Once selected, the bridal/prom industry scheme for money-making is to make the length of the dresses a yard too long, so that a customer must pay another $4o to shorten it. 

(After buying a couple of gowns the year of my prom for weddings, my father said, "We're not buying any more of these. If anybody else asks you to be their wedding, you tell you no!"😅)

Times change ... and sometimes for the better! Nowadays a young woman can find beautiful off-the-rack dresses to wear to her prom without emptying her parents' wallet. Here is a quick roundup from Lulus, a retailer offering a wide selection of classic prom (as well as wedding party and formal dresses) for under $100.

I'll feature several possibilities that would be fun and easy-to-wear on the dance floor, as well as, late into the night. They are lovely, comfortable, and will look formal with the addition of jewelry. My mother also let me wear her white fur stole over my gown, and my date brought me a corsage. It takes a village to dress for a prom!

Do you have a favorite dress; and do you remember your prom?
