Thousands of homecoming and prom stories shared and questions aswered since 2005.
Every girl born from the eighties to the nineties knows about the Bedazzler, right!? This eighties ritual came and went but then again in two thousand and nine the censorship of seemingly gaudy gemstone-flecked and studded accessories was lifted. Stylista's are once again sporting embedded accents, studded belts, and pelted leather. Though the actual Bedazzler was taken to levels that were scary, the concept has been downsized tremendously, and top designers have turned the once terrifying imprints into inspiring looks. Your prom is all about revealing your fashion-friendly style and this newly updated fashion statement could be just thing you need to turn your plain dress into something coveted.
It is not all about rhinestones anymore. The worst (and best) parts of the eighties are gone, and now designers have taken the elegance that skimmed along the eighties and threaded it into today's sweetest looks. Stud-topped tassels, clipped fringe, and huge buttons are just a few of the innovated designs brought on by the clip-on style of the eighties. It is great to see how versatile style has become, and it is so convenient for those who have the prom through this generation. The experimental designs and convenient accessories that can be found at almost every retailer make it easy to put together an amazing look with a whimsical flair and feel. This type of style makes it easy to not take your too seriously and by giving a smile-getting statement.
There are a lot of great themes and ideas in fashion that have lasted through the years and a lot of basic eighties looks have inspired today's hottest designs. By adding chunk bracelets, heavily patterned dresses, tousled hair, thick eyeliner, patterned leggings, ankle booties, and crimped, fringed, and studded accessories to your look for prom, you will look amazing and you will also feel amazing. Be Dazzled by your own design and create a one-night look for prom that is all your own. Even the look of big-80's-hair is back; throw your hair into a semi-high, tousled top ponytail with chop-crop bangs for an eighties flair on today's cutest ponytail. Even vibrant minis, high boot-heels, and loose leather can add a sweet taste to your eighties inspired prom look. It is easy to create a put-together eighties look while still letting out your inner child. So go ahead and wear those peep-toe leather booties, thick patterned leggings, ultra mid-mini, and neon hoop earrings because no matter what you come across, with the versatility of today's fashion, combined with sparks from past-styles, it is a fool-proof way to look amazing (just beware of over-using vibrant blue eyeshadow).
