Fashion Sense: Prom on Budget

So prom and homecoming are going to be arriving soon, and every girls' question is. "what should I wear?" When one google the words "Prom Dresses" And clicks on images the most likely candidate for the first to show up is something most likley not very modest. High slits, plunging necklines, see through material and worse. You begin to wonder... "Will I ever be able to find a nice looking dress that fits me that I could be seen in public with and not look like I'm trying to get someones attention?" The Answer is yes, in fact I got two dresses that are modest and are quite good looking, I even got them for Free.
So here are your quick tips for getting Good looking, nicely priced, prom dresses (Sorry guys I'm a gal I have no tips for you!)

1. Call people
The way I found my two BEAUTIFUL dresses was through facebook, a 27 year old was trying to get rid of them. So I set up a time and went over! The pictures did not do them justice. And the dresses fit PERFECTLY!
Although this might not be as easy as it was for me try talking to a few seniors/Kids your size/even your mom (You never know if she knows the mom of a kid who graduated last year)

2. Resale Shopping!
If you can't find a friend, find your local resale shop. I've gone shopping to these places, over half of my closet is Resale. (No I don't look like a hippie) While I was there I saw BEAUTIFUL dresses. Find a dressing room and try one on!

3. Extras!
While doing this, look for a small clutch and shoes to go with your dress...Have fun!

Revolution: Loneliness

How many of you feel lonely? *Looks around and raises my hand* In fact I have thought about self Harm. I have even thought about commiting suicide... I understand that this is something people just don't talk about, but it needs to be talked about! Those of us who are lonely think that we are alone in this fight, but you know what? WE ARE NOT! We tell oursleves we are alone in this fight! That no one cares about us. That if we died today no one would miss us! Then Satan uses that lie to get at us to knaw at our hearts and eventually we will fall so deeply into the darkness, it will seem impossible to get back out. I experienced rejection from people I thought were my friends! I know how it feels. But we need to remember that there are others out there, just like us who think they are alone...I released my story to a few of my friends and three people responded to me telling me they had felt the same way! And had even gone further than I had. They were the most amazing people in the world! I would never have thought that they had those feeling! They had put on a mask like I had and we all knew each other pretty well, but had never known this.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
