Your instinct will likely tell you to go for something flashy, attention-grabbing, and sparkly — that’s what most girls do when they think about the prospect of their high school prom.

Fortunately, we assume you’re much more relaxed than that and believe there is much more to dance than just a glammed-up gown. After a bit of research and some red carpet inspiration from celebs who eschew standard red carpet glamour in favor of unique ideas, we’ve listed five reasons why you should go to blue prom dresses.

It’s a color that flatters almost everyone.

If you’re trying to figure out who a blue dress would look good on, the answer is just about everyone. Blue is a universally flattering color that looks great on almost every skin tone and hair color. Darker blues look great on people with darker skin tones, while lighter blues are fantastic for those with paler complexions. Blue can also be a tremendous choice for redheads as it can help mute their fiery locks and make them look much more subtle. Blue also has significant slimming effects and can make you look slimmer and taller. If you’re shorter, blue can make you appear more substantial, and make you look taller, which is excellent if you want to look more adult and sophisticated on your big night.

It’s bold and eye-catching without being overly glammed up.

Blue is a striking color that looks fantastic on the red carpet, but it’s not overly glammed up or sparkly. While you can find plenty of sequinned and bejeweled gowns in blue, you can also find plenty of non-glam options in the color. If you want to go for a dress that’s more understated, blue is a perfect choice. You can also find blue accessories like shoes, handbags, and jewelry, so you can get creative with your look and create a unique outfit that’s all your own. Darker blues like navy or black are fantastic for those who don’t want to draw too much attention to themselves and prefer to stick to more classic colors. Baby and light blues are great for those who want a bolder look and stand out from the crowd.

You can accessorize it easily.

As well as being a bold, simple color, blue is also the color of spring and new beginnings. If you go for a blue dress for your prom, you choose a color that signifies a new start and a fresh face. For many, prom is a time for new beginnings and fresh starts, so why not go for a color that signifies that? Many girls choose pink for their prom, so why not go for a different color and show that you’re different from everyone else? Going for a blue prom dress for your prom is a bold and unique choice. It’s a simple color, but one that can be styled in many different ways, making it incredibly versatile. Blue can be as understated or bold as you want it to be, making it a fantastic choice for any girl who wants to make a statement on their big night.

It’s an easy color to match for friends who decide to go in groups.

If you and your friends decide to go to prom together and want to match but aren’t sure what color you should all go in, blue is an easy, safe option that fits everything. Going in a group of blue is also a great way to stand out from the crowd. Blue is an excellent color for you if you don’t want to match exactly. If you and your friends all decide to go in blue, you can still easily be differentiated from one another thanks to the fact that each of you can match your dress with different accessories.

Conclusion

When it comes to prom, very few colors can compare to blue. It’s bold, eye-catching, and a great color for those who want to make a statement on their big night. Blue is a simple, classic color that can be styled in many different ways, making it incredibly versatile and perfect for any girl who wants to make a statement on their big night. If you’re still not convinced that blue is the right color for you, we recommend you do some research and get inspired by the many different ways that blue can be styled. Blue is a classic color that will never go out of style, making it a fantastic choice for any girl who wants to make an impression on her big night.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.
