sock monkey prom dress

this saturday is prom. naturally, 90% of the upperclassmen girls today were extremely pre-occupied with tomorrow's plans (hair appointments, makeup appointments, nail appointments, pictures, dinner) and vocalized their excitement in giggly, high pitched voices.

i remember prom. not the most fun i've ever had, but i really did like dressing pretty. at least, i thought my dresses were pretty at the time. in hindsight though, the periwinkle thing with shimmery star-flecked gauze over it was a bad choice. and the gold one-shoulder number would have been nice had my bosom not been so big. ah....prom fashion - who isn't a victim?

i get to go to prom tomorrow but as one of those nerdy teacher chaperones. my dress is little and black and plain (but classy because i wore it to my sister's wedding) and i've just reminded myself that i need to go get shoes for it. i don't think i run too much danger of hindsight embarassment this time around.

i have to confess,though, that i am far more excited to see fellow prom dress victims tomorrow night as opposed to anything else.
