Prom 2008: White and Light Colored Dresses & Makeup

Site News
Christine |

I love this shimmering white dress, because it’s not so white that it looks plain. I think the length is adorable, and it is a nice option for those who have some killer legs or don’t want to wear a full-length prom gown. White is as flexible a color as black, so the three looks shown are merely starting points. I love soft pinks whenever I wear anything very light in color, because it gives some color without being overwhelming. I think a very soft neutral eye with a smoky twist and pop of gray-black works well as an option to enhance eyes that aren’t overly dramatic. A great combo for this dress is a dramatic black cat eye (third look pictured) with glossy red lips (or pink if you’re not a red lip kind of gal!).

Check out suggested looks: one, two, & three. Dress is available at Nordstrom.com for $159.
