Lady Gaga influence

We were talking about make-up for the prom and words and expressions came up like, "over the top", "feather eyelashes", "big, bright and bold", "Lady Gaga-ish" and "high fashion". Is this just a prom or is she planning her wedding or is this some fashion shoot?

Really, Kayla?!?

If you know really know Kayla, you know she is over the top. So in the "getting excited about prom" phase, she wanted to wear a Lady Gaga hair bow to prom. I promptly halted that ideal. Sooo about a month ago, we were vendors at Arlington Downtown Farmers Market and there was a vendor there selling hair accessories. And guess what she had???? A head band with a huge bow on it with a veil down the back. She fell in love with it. Actually, it was cute and I could really see her wearing something like this to the prom.

Now we are in the process of getting her sister to do a sketch so she can get a picture in her head and so she can show all of her friends, like she did the shoes.

Finally....Some Excitement

Since freshman year, my daughter, Kayla hasn't been thrilled about the ideal of prom. Everytime I brought up the subject, it was just "Mom, I'm not going". I thought she was afraid she wouldn't have a date, but I told her she didn't need a boy to have a great time. She could go with her friends and have a really great time. Well now we fast forward to senior year. I saw a change around the second month of school. Not sure if it was the fact that she was NEVER going to have this chance again, or her friend threating to drag her there because her mom was making her go, she changed her mind. AND she is going with a group of her girl friends. No boys. I wonder where that ideal came from????? Anywho, she began to look online for dresses and hasseling me about when we are going shopping. She even picked out her shoes and showed everyone for their approval. What do you think?

So we went shopping. We went to Whatchamacallit, (Pagent dresses) Group USA (too many of the same dresses) and Gala (too many of the same dresses and poor quality dresses). I was never a fan of seeing what I'm wearing coming and going so I made the BOLD move to make her dress. Something no one else would have. So I will using this blog to track my progress. Wish me luck. I'm gonna need it.
