"Its deja vu all over again" as the wise man once said. I would have to say my 2008 Cinderella measures up nicely next to her 1955 counterparts! Take a vintage 50's prom dress, heirloom jewelry and handbag, add rockin' pink platform maryjane's and you have recycling at its finest. I think Arline and Joan would approve. These two best friends were stunning inspiration for this contemporary 18 year old going to her senior prom 53 years later. She found a mint condition dress at an antique shop a year and a half ago and tucked it away for the occasion. I unwrapped my mom's exquisite rhinestone necklace and earrings (the very same she wore to her prom!) and added her silver bag. Sure, she went out on a limb, and the adult chaperones probably appreciated her style more than her peers, but if anyone could pull it off, she could. It wasn't exactly the Boulevard Room at the Conrad Hilton, but the night was a success none the less.
