Elizabeth


Do you remember your senior prom? Did you plan every detail: shop for the perfect dress, dye satin shoes to match, and make a salon appointment so you could wear your hair in hairspray crisp curls pinned to the crown of your head reminiscent to Audrey Hepburn in "A Roman Holiday"? We may all have had illusions of the perfect prom night, but in reality how many of our prom nights played out exactly like our dreams?
This necklace is for one of my very best high school friends, Elizabeth. The day of our senior prom, she was driving us to get our manicures when she was pulled over in her white Volkswagen Rabbit for not making a complete stop at a traffic sign. Parental drama ensued and the kibosh was put on her after prom festivities. I'm so sorry Liz. I wish it would have turned out differently for you and I feel like in some way I was partly to blame, especially because I think you were distracted by my singing along to your mix tape.
Maybe we all have a secret hopes to relive prom. Not to worry though, you can definitely be the prom queen everyday wearing this butter yellow satin and tulle corsage necklace.
Three asymmetrical, beaded rosettes are hand sewn tightly on a felt and lace backing (almost as pretty as the front). The length is adjustable: just hook the lobster claw clasp anywhere along the opposite chain and a glass pearl and a yellow rose pearl counterweight will dangle elegantly down your back. Wears adorably with a crinoline and chiffon party dress but also just as easily with a scoop neck T-shirt or soft cardigan.
