Tips for Prom Dress Shopping

Hey Everyone!
Now prom is around the corner....okay three months away! Some of you have found your dress, Congrats! I found my dress today. And some of you have an idea but have not found the right dress. Others have no idea what they are looking for. So today I decided to give you a few tips on how to shop for the perfect dress!

Tip 1: Get prom magazines.
Prom magazines are designed to help girls find the style they want or give them an idea on what the different dress companies are selling. I bought the Seventeen magazine one and it helped me so much because it gave me locations for different prom places in my state and showed me a bunch of different types of styles of dresses.

Tip 2: Make a list of warehouses, shops, boutiques you want to go to.
I made an entire list of all the places in my state and wrote down the address, the number and the hours. It made everything so much more organized. It will be less stressful on you and who ever you are going with.

Tip 3: Have a whole day devoted to prom dress shopping.
I am not going to lie, getting to the place, finding dresses, trying on dresses, then trying on more dresses....it was an all day thing. It was exhausting! So I suggest you don't plan anything else that day because you do not want to rush when you are shopping for the perfect dress.

Tip 4: If you are ordering online, order it right away.
I did not order my dress online because I wanted to try it on immediately and I just did not feel comfortable picking my dress online. But a bunch of my friends picked out there dresses online and they ordered it right away because shipping could take a long time depending on where they are shipping it from. If you want to order your dress online, go to a boutique or a tailor and figure out your sizing so you have a right idea on what size you should order. Then always have a back up plan if you do not like the dress.

Tip 5: Bring snacks!
I am not kidding but when me and my mom got out of trying on dresses, we were hungry! So bring a snack to just keep you energized and not having your stomach grumble. Maybe grapes or a Kind Bar. And water.

Tip 6: WEAR A STRAPLESS BRA.
This is probably one of the most important tips. The reason why is no matter what kind of dress you are trying on, having a strapless bra can give you an idea on what it will look like on Prom day. If you have a regular bra you might not get a good visual on how the dress looks.

These are my tips for finding your perfect prom dress. I am sure there are plenty more tips but these are the tips that I used while I was prom dress shopping. I will be doing a bunch of prom blog posts because I am excited for Prom and I want you all to learn some tips and tricks!  I hope you all have a wonderful day/night!
Carpe Diem,
Sophia

Invisible Illness Series: Support

Hello everyone! Today's blog post is going to be a little emotional but I feel like it will probably help so many of you all. One thing I have noticed with having Endometriosis is how many people just do not get it. They do not understand why I am constantly in pain. They think that the pain that I am experiencing on a daily basis is something that everyone experiences. It is not. People who suffer from chronic pain can go hours at a time in excruciating pain that honestly is indescribable. And even then if people physically see you in pain, they do not care.They just think you are either faking it or being over dramatic. Well to those people I have this to say, you should be ashamed of yourself. Why would anyone fake being in agony for hours at a time. Why would anyone feel the need to be stuck in bed for a long time just because they just "don't feel like getting up". I have a feeling that many of you have experienced people like that in your life. Well let m

Review: Victoria Secret Seamless Racerback Bra

Hey everyone! So I never see anyone reviewing sports bras! So today I decided to review one! Now I HATE sport bras. Every sports bra that I have ever tried either suffocates my boobs (TMI...sorry!) or they are way to lose to support my boobs when I am working out. Now I am addicted to Victoria Secret Pink. I absolutely love every thing they have. I own way to much stuff from them so when I saw this new sports bra, I had to try it. It is the  Victoria Secret Pink Seamless Racerback Bra ! First Impression: I got it in the tie dye color in blue. When I first got it in the mail, the first thing I thought was how soft it was. Then I saw that it was a very thin material. I thought it was going to be a little thicker like most sports bras. I was kinda afraid that it will show my nips. (TMI!) I got it in a medium. First Time Wearing It: The first time I wore it was not to work out but to school. I got so many compliments from my friends. They all thought it was different because of

Book Review: Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs

Another book review!? Yes! Today I have another book review for you all and it is going to be a good one! So this novel was one of the galleys that my mom got for me at BEA. (Book Expo America) Just a warning is that this novel does not come out until September 23. But you can always pre-order it if you are interested. The novel is called  Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs .  Now I will give you a little background about why I read this book. When I was in 6th grade, my Biology teacher put on the show Bones for us to watch. And from that day to 10th grade, I wanted to be a forensic anthropologist. Now to this day I love forensics, I think it is super fascinating but I am just not good at biology. Anyways, the show Bones was based off of Kathy Reichs and her life as a forensic anthropologist. Now a forensic anthropologist is someone who studies human bones and  figures out what happened to that person. How they died, if they were murdered, did they have any health problems, stuff
