Hi, and welcome to another work week! We have a very eventful weekend. It was Miss 17 year Old’s junior prom on Saturday night. How fun are school dance’s? For a girl, they are some of the best times of your life, and when else in your lifetime do you get so many chances to play dress up? Saturday was a bittersweet moment for me because next year my daughter will be a senior and I know it is quickly coming to an end. Only three more fancy dresses- her senior homecoming, senior prom, and then someday her wedding gown. It makes me sad. But I love every minute of having a daughter to experience all of this with. Are you ready for some picture overload? If not, walk away from the screen. But if you love to look at prom pictures, hopefully you are in for a treat! I am just going to show you all of the gorgeous pictures I took. I was having difficulty with my camera during this whole thing. Go figure! I could not get it to focus for several of the shots, bummer. But I think I got plenty of good ones. And her gown was To. Die. For. It is one of the prettiest gown’s I have ever seen, and I don’t know how she is ever going to top this one. Sit back and enjoy the show! She was going for an old Hollywood, classy look, and I think she achieved it to perfection!
If you stuck around for all of those pictures, congratulations! Ha! I hope you don’t mind that I shared today. I think my daughter is the most beautiful girl in the whole world, so I cannot help from bragging just a little! Have a great week!Update:
I constantly get emails asking me where I bought this dress, so I thought I would share. This dress was purchased as a local boutique called Oliverio’s Bridal. And it was made by Sherry Hill. It was the only dress like it in the store. So, if you want to try to find this dress, do a search for Sherry Hill dresses, and good luck!

Lovely, lovely photos! What a sweet family you have! Your daughter is so very elegant and quite photogenic! It is so lovely to see the whole group of teenagers looking so elegant! Your daughter's dress is to die for!! Really! It's my favorite of them all. Must show it to my 11 yr old daughter – who is already telling me about dresses she'd like to wear to her prom!! : ) Catherine (new follower)
Thanks Catherine! I am so glad to have you as a new follower! This is my favortie dress that she has worn to a dance so far. I don't know if she will be able to top it next year! And that is exactly the way I described the dress to everyone before hand. To. Die. For! I wish I could squeeze into that sucker and wear it someplace! LOL
Your daughter and her dress are gorgeous!!! I saw these on FB over the weekend and looked through them all again today – so, so pretty! I only have boys so I have to live vicariously through ladies with daughters. Go ahead and brag! I would be if she was my daughter!
Wow! YOu looked twice, lol! Thank you so much for the lovely compliments. She is my only daughter. Those other two kids of mine are dirty boys, HA!
Oh my gosh, she is gorgeous! Love everything! You have a beautiful family!
So sweet of You jamie! Thanks for stopping by!
Oh this brought wonderful tears of joyful memories to me of my daughter when she was growing up. Your daughter is stunning and definitely the most beautiful of them all. Such precious memories that you will have forever to share with her. I really enjoyed this post.
I would love for you to link up to Inspire Me Tuesday party that is still ongoing. I think others would love to see your post or remember a special time in their life.

Kathryn, you truly made my sunday, wow! Thank you so much!
Wow! Your daughter nailed the whole Hollywood glam look! Absolutely stunning and elegant! I can picture her coming down a fancy curved staircases. You know, as seen in some of the classic black and white movies. Your daughter is amazingly photogenic! Lucky! lol Wishing her a wonderful senior year!
You have a lovely family! 😀
Thank you so much Julie! She plans on keeping the dress until it is vintage. I think it is a timeless dress.
Beautiful young lady! What a special day she had in her Jr. Prom, nothing more wonderful, from wearing a gown, to turning into the most lovely princess. Your daughter looks like a movie star, ready for the 'red carpet'! Thank you for sharing and congrats to all of you wonderful family.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog and taking the time to make such a sweet comment about my daughter!
Wow, she is both stunning and sophisticated! What a gorgeous dress! Fab photos!!
Thank you Stacy!
Stunning! Beautiful daughter, beautiful dress, handsome date!!! What more could a girl ask for? I always love prom time, to see the kids dress up – it's really rather magical. My daughter has been out of high school for three years – so prom is long gone in our lives. Luckily, she belongs to a sorority and they have a spring formal every year, so she still gets to wear a pretty, fantasy dress. Thanks for sharing – and like others have said, she was the prettiest one in the lineup (and that's saying alot, as all the girls were so very pretty!). Jane
Thank you so much! It is nice to still get to go to sorority formals. Maybe my daughter will decide to pledge in college and I can have a few more awesome memories!
Not only are your daughter and her gown the prettiest….they're also the classiest, most refined, and chic. I have a hunch that's exactly what she will continue to be. She already balked at the not-so-classy choices and went with her own vision of herself. Awesome to see that in a young woman. I'm so glad I saw your post!
Wow, your comment made my day! Thank you so much!

Your daughter is absolutely stunning!!!!!! Her dress is wonderful too! Glad prom was a blast!
Thank you so much!
Your daughter is so beautiful like you.
Happy family ever after …
That is so sweet of you to say. I am very proud of her. But she has inner beauty, and I always tell her it is the best kind! She is just lucky that she has both!
Well she was definitely the belle of the Ball- what a chic and sophisticated look for prom! That dress is just timeless and she is truly stunning- What a great looking and perfectly polished couple – and the photo with her little brother is just precious
Thank you for the wonderful comment! They looked great together,and her baby brother loves her!
