red sneakers

The prom. A big day in the lives of high schoolers all over the globe. Why is it such an important and crucial part of our high school years? If you don't go, something's wrong with you, or if you go alone, something's wrong with you. Ahh high school...good times right? Well, not exactly for everyone. I went to my senior prom, but it wasn't an evening that I go back and think, "Wow, what an amazing night!". It was just a dance. A much too expensive dance. The cost of the hair, the dress, the shoes (which I still own), the limo, the purse....it all just seems silly to me now. I didn't even go with a guy I liked. He was a friend's brother, who I wasn't even friends with. But of course, I needed a date and couldn't go alone. So, needless to say, it was a fun evening, but not too too memorable. What makes a night like this memorable, I think, is to make it your own. Make it unique. Make it what you want it to be. Like Sarah and Kyle. White dress. White suit. And the color red. Yep, they definitely did their own thing for Kyle's prom. They wore red converse sneakers. I love it.
