This year’s prom date is fast approaching and the theme this year is enchanted forest. 

Prom is a big dance for juniors or seniors where people get dressed up and spend time with their friends and partners. Prom being a fancier school dance requires more formal outfits than other dances like Homecoming. The problem is that fancy outfits can cost a pretty penny, especially while trying to stay on theme. So here are some ideas you can use to keep your outfits cheap this year. 

First you can check thrift shops for outfits. Thrifting is a cheap way to get a nice outfit, although the downside is that you may not find clothes with everything specifically how you want it with it and you might not find anything the first time you go. Remember after buying any clothes from the thrift shops to wash them before wearing.

You can also buy a cheap outfit from a store like Walmart or Target. You are more likely to get something you imagined than when thrifting. Although the prices are more than when going to thrift stores.

Finally if you are more crafty you can customize your outfit. Customizing your outfit makes it really unique. Although the materials for customizing might cost a bit extra.

Prom outfit shopping can be expensive, but it doesn’t need to be.
