(Above) As a last-minute decision for last year’s Great Gatsby themed Prom, I decided to borrow my sister’s light green satin dress that she wore to her sorority’s date function. With minor alterations, it fit perfectly. I accessorized with a pair of sparkly rose-gold heels from Dillard’s and gold jewelry from Kendra Scott and Tiffany & Co.
