'Tis the Prom season, and being a former prom-goer here are my "do's and don'ts" for Prom and the current trends in 2012.
This year's Prom Queen is sure to be one in a creative, unique dress. Popular colors this year include Fuchsia's, gold, heavy metals, bold blues and corals. Don't forget the cut and style though!

As GlitzGowns states there, some trends for this year include the High-Low skirt, accents of lace (Be sure not to get a full lace gown!), polka-dots, embellishments, bling and feathers, sleeves and cut-outs. A tip of my own is to make sure your cut-outs aren't TOO revealing!
Reds are hot this year, as well as most years. Being bold and unique is the goal! Check out these celebrity looks for this year!
