I just had to jump in on this conversation, because I love getting dressed up! For this spring's formal (my last one

), I'm planning to wear the dress I wore to prom my junior year of high school...I've never been able to find another dress to top it, I think it's so gorgeous. My school is also having a campus formal on Valentine's Day, and I'm thinking of wearing my sister's old prom dress from about 1983...dare me?
Anyway, I have a suggestion for those looking for dresses--try the Salvation Army or consignment shops! I'm serious. My best friend goes used-clothing shopping all the time, and she recently found two very pretty formal dresses for about $10 each. One even still has the tags on it, and they're not scary outdated Madonna-looking things, either. I know people have probably suggested this before, but take it from me, you really can find cute things if you're willing to sift through piles and piles of clothes. Just an idea.
