prom dresses
The other day I was at the mall with my friend and we saw this beautiful formal for only 25 dollars, if you can believe it. It was sleeveless and backless, but when the back is laced up it really doesn't show much skin. I have a few standards of dress that I refuse to bend, so I bought a shawl with the dress to cover my shoulders (it's kinda see-through, but it covers up the skin). I showed the dress to my parents and my mom hates it but my dad thinks it's ok (backwards, I know). How can I convince my mom that it doesn't matter what she thinks about the dress because I bought it and I'm the one who's going to be wearing it. btw, I'm 17

Hey. Well your mom is probably just trying to protect you because she loves you so much but you have to gain her trust. Tell her how you bought the shawl and you would never buy a dress for a bad reason. Tell her how much you really like the dress and how nice you think it looks. She should understand since she's your mom. Maybe you can write her a letter (this may sound strange but things are easier in writing) and explain how hurt you were that she didn't like it since you were so excited to show her when you got it. She will probably understand your feelings and you guys can work something out. I really hope this helped and good luck! =)

Wow my mom would be glad i got a $25 dress! If you like it, that's really all that matters. Try telling her that. since it's only $25 it's not like you're spending a large amount of money on something she doesn't like. maybe you should find shoes that you think go good with it and accesories and see if she'll go for it then. <3

Maybe your mom wanted to help you pick out the dress and was just disapointed that you did it without her, if that is the case maybe you could ask for her oppinion on shoes or your hair. Did you ask your mother why she doesn't like the dress? Does she know that you bought the shawl to cover your shoulders? Just explain to your mom that it is your prom, and that you bought the dress yourself, and you are going to wear it.

Sit down with your mom and talk to her about it. Just tell her that it's your prom & not hers. Her opinion is important, but it's your night & your dress so it shouldn't matter what she thinks. She just wants you to look the best you can but if you talk to her again, she'll understand.
