Prom season is possibly one of the most stressful times of the year. The pressure for girls to acquire a prom date and to find the perfect dress... I can relate.

I'd like to let you all know that my prom wasn't the most easy going either. There was so much drama and gossip on which guy is asking which girl to prom.

When it came to me I really didn't expect to be asked to prom, but one of my friends asked and it just happened. I was really happy at the time because it was such a surprise.

Chris Hicks and I at prom

I look so red and makeupless at prom but it's such a memory. I think the most important thing to remember is that things aren't perfect, and those are the things you remember most. Prom shouldn't be so stressful but it just is. Enjoy your youth and it will become a great memory.

It seems prom nowadays has evolved from big typical prom dresses and you may be able to see from my prom it had already started to change. If Topshop released a prom range at the time of my prom I would have definitely chosen one from there.

Metallic Two Toned Skater Dress here

This dress makes a skater dress wearable for prom. The shiny material will make you stand out amongst others whilst bringing a fashionable look forward. Not the most 'prom' looking dress but now it's all about change.

Stand Out Flower Prom Dress here

Floral prints are hardly ever seen at prom. This is great as it has a casual element but the bow at the back suggests it is a dress suited for the evening. The great thing about this dress is that you can still wear it when you're not at prom, so this dress sees more days than a one time occasion. I would wear this dress with converses if I could.
