As a follow up to Angie's blog posts this week about her prom chaperoning experience, how about we share some of our own photos of what we wore back in the day at our own formal dances?

At my own high school prom, I wore a very Cinderella-style chiffon strapless sky blue dress with a faux-diamond necklace and earrings and terribly uncomfortable silver strappy shoes that left my feet badly blistered by the end of the night.
A hairstylist relative who was visiting one of my neighbors put my hair up in a gorgeous updo, my mom helped with my makeup, and I put little stick-on rhinestones in my hair. At that point, I was highlighting my hair blonde, and it was several inches below shoulder length.

I attended the dance with a friend from my high school band. Our prom was held at a venue on the waterfront, and we had dinner with a small group of friends at a mediterranean restaurant.

I'm trying to recall specifics about the evening, and although it wasn't terribly long ago, I really don't remember much except that we had a good time at the dance. My last year in high school was a pretty tumultuous point in my life, and I think I've deliberately let a lot of memories slip away.

So - let's see your stories!
