Truthfully, unlike how the TV shows and movies taught me, prom was not the night that they had described. It was a lot of awkwardness, failed promposals, an inability to match my date’s suit, and all in the middle of exam season. Nevertheless, all of the crazy high school shenanigans aside, one thing was definitely a highlight – my dress, and shopping for said dress.
In classic young-fashionista fashion, it took me months to settle on the right one. And when I did, I had my mom bring me to a seamstress to customize it with a cape-like-train. It was a thing friends, it was a thing (haha). I just felt like there wasn’t something edgy or bold enough to match the statement I wanted to make leaving high school.
It’s like hitting up a one-stop-shop (literally) – for a fun day of shopping, eating, and playing.
Whether you’re getting ready or inspired for prom (for the record, I’m jealous) or are just prepping for a wedding or special occasion this season, here are 4 looks for you (and your special someone) to look fly AF (with all the details of where to scoop them up):

We hope you liked these outfits as much as we loved pairing them together. Scarborough Town Centre made it so easy to put these looks together all in one spot. With shops like Zara, Forever 21, Browns, Le Chateau, Hudson’s Bay (and killer food spots like Cacao 70 and Kwan), you’ll be ready for prom or that special event in no time.
And don’t forget, prom is full of surprises – sometimes good, sometimes ones you just learn from. But at the end of the day, it’s your prom and it’s a memory that lasts a lifetime. I hope you’ll surprise it (or perhaps fellow guests at a special occasion event) with something bold… one that says, hello world – I’m here to make a statement!
