It is a different thing, getting a boy ready for Prom. Three years ago, when my daughter went to prom it was a whole day affair - hair, makeup, dress, pictures, etc.
With the boy, it was completely different - he rolled out of bed at 3 pm, showered, shaved and into tux by 3:30.
His lovely girlfriend, came with her mother, her aunt and her grandmother to take pictures. We lucked out, as aunt is a professional photographer and so the two pictures I am including below are just snaps Barry took - we are assuming there will be spectacular ones to come!
After the prom, ten of their friends came back and swam and then watched movies. They were very quiet and I slept like a baby. You can't complain about that!
As I said last night, his girlfriend's dress was very Downton Abbey meets Indie girl. Lovely couple!
*************************
I loved the girlfriend's dress, mostly because it wasn't the typically-big confection that is so favoured by teenage girls everywhere (and prom dress designers!)
I love a vintage-inspired look, and thought I would share some other dresses that I found when taking a look:
The one above is perfection. This is very much Anne-meeting-Gilbert in the orchard stuff...
And if you like flowers...

Don't you love a little glam on a Tuesday?
I am wading in to the madness that will be the going-out-of-business-sale and the local shop I mentioned the other day. If I get any goodies, I will share!
Have a happy Tuesday and stay safe out there!
