I don’t know about all of you, but when I look back at my old prom photos, I basically want to be sick all over myself. I had two-toned hair that was curled so tightly I looked like the lovechild of Louis XIV of France and one of the All Saints, and wore a dress the colour of snot. I was not the belle of the ball, I was the bellend.
Enough about my tragic life – luckily for today’s teens during prom season, the high street is much more tuned into the prom trend than it was back in my day (approximately 473 years ago), and New Look are one brand who never fail to come up trumps on the accessories front. This year they sent us a little bundle of prom goodies to style up, and I chose these beaut white sandals and transparent clutch. I paired them with this sequin and chiffon prom dress from TFNC, which I actually wore to my graduation ball 2 years ago. God, I’m old.
The sandals are the perfect prom shoe; really elegant with a small enough heel that you can shake your thang all night in a much less elegant way. The bag is perfectly neutral and big enough to stash all of your prom night essentials (which in my case were things such as farthings, smelling salts, thimbles and my quill).
If you have a prom or any faaaaancy occasions coming up soon then make sure you browse the full range of prom accessories New Look have to offer, as you certainly won’t be disappointed. Pip pip!
What do you all think of this prom look? What are your perfect prom accessories?
Love it!
Glad I’m not the only one who hates her prom pictures. I’m sure I thought I looked ‘the tits’ at the time. I wore an ill-fitting long floaty lilac number with a matching handbag that I kept calling my ‘ball bag’ and not realising why everyone else thought it was funny! Oh I was so innocent in my youth!

Hahaha I am CRYING at the ball bag incident! I feel like if you don’t hate your prom pictures then you were clearly too ‘together’ at 16 years old and we can’t be friends anyway xx
This dress is gorgeous and I love the clutch bag something I want to be rocking! xx
Thank you, I’ve been tempted to get rid of it a couple of times as I know I’ll never wear it again but it’s just so swishy! 🙂 xx
Love those shoes! And I looked like a disaster at my prom too hahaha, you’re not alone! xxx
They’re lovely for the summer but they do rub a bit! And I’m glad to hear this hahaha xx
