Prom is coming up and if you haven’t found your
perfect prom dress yet, we might be able to help you out:
This short length prom dress has a flowy feel
without being a full-length gown. Uptown Cheapskate in Beaver Creek had it for
only $15.99. To add some color, wear bright heels like this hot pink pair, also
from Uptown Cheapskate for only $9.78.
This deep blue dress with jeweled detailing was
earlier a part of Beaver Creek’s Uptown Cheapskate’s merchandise, before it was
bought for only $23.37 according to their Facebook page.
This short coral dress has a jeweled bodice. You
won’t have to worry about tripping on your dress, making this a great choice
for the dance floor. Uptown Cheapskate in Beaver Creek had it at only $59.99.
Even princess-style gowns can be found when thrift
shopping. The Beaver Creek Uptown Cheapskate Facebook posted this fuschia
colored dress with a detailed bodice. It was only $69.99.
This gorgeous open-back gown is sure to make you
look like a princess. The beading and fabric give off a very elegant look. It’s
only $79.99 at Apex’s Uptown Cheapskate.
Instead of a little black dress, how about a long
black dress? The loose belt and unique
detailing keeps the dress from looking church-like. Adding the gold-sparkled John Madden heels keeps
it sophisticated yet fun. Find them both at the Apex Uptown Cheapskate, the
dress for $89.99, and the shoes for $17.99.
This dress has a halter top, a neckline rarely seen
on prom dresses today. A gold brooch
ties the dress together. Find it at the
Apex Uptown Cheapskate for $59.99.
When you think of prom dresses, earthy tones may not
be what you’re looking for, but this one is sure to change your mind! The
high-low skirt, as well as the neckline, will help to accentuate your body. Pair
it with these Charlotte Russe heels for pop of sparkle. Both of these can be
found Uptown Cheapskate; the dress is $23.99, and the heels are $14.99. You
will not only look amazing but feel amazing too.
When shopping for
your dress, remember that prom is a school function, and your attire must be
appropriate. “We realize it is a special event… We have in the past had to draw
the line when clothing is too revealing,” said Principal Matthew Wight when
asked about the dress code. If a student is in violation she will be asked to
correct it; if she refuses the student can be denied entrance, Wight stated,
“We try to be as reasonable as we can.”

Oil
clean-up efforts ended last week at Lake Michigan following a March 24 oil spill
at a BP refinery in Indiana. BP officials report that over 1,600 gallons of oil
were discharged into the lake by the spill, much higher than the first
estimates of 300 to 500. The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality
reports that the spill has not affected the lake’s beaches so far. BP has
experienced problems with oil spills before, with public outrage from the
infamous Deepwater Horizon spill in 2010 which dumped thousands of tons of
crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico still weighing on the company.

Last
night included some emotional moments during the Academy of Country Music Awards.
George Strait gave an emotional speech
after winning Entertainer of the Year.
Strait thanked his fans that came through for him, even after his announcement
earlier this year about retirement. Kacey
Musgraves, a “newbie” to the country music world, won Album of the Year with
her album Same Trailer Different Park. Another “newbie”, Justin Moore, won New
Artist of the Year. Song of the Year
went to Lee Brice with “I Drive Your Truck” and Video of the Year went to Tim
McGraw for “Highway Don’t Care” with Keith Urban and Taylor Swift. Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan co-hosted the
show, and managed to ease some of the more emotional parts of the show with
their jokes and banter.
