Now that you have found your perfect dress, it is time to add the finishing touches. No look is complete without a few pieces of flare. Ladies, let's accessorize!
Jewelry is an item which is quite personal. It also encompasses many different items such as necklaces, tiaras, earrings, gloves, bracelets and more. Some girls prefer a simple yet breathtakingly elegant look; others want much larger pieces which add show stopping glamour and glitz. The most important thing is that you find accessories which compliment your dress. Prom jewelry comes in as many different colors as the prom dresses do, so experiment with different combinations.
Shoes are a very important item that is ofter overlooked. You need to take several aspects into account when purchasing shoes such as the length of your dress, the height of your date, and the style you want to portray. Shoes like jewelry, come in all sizes, shapes and colors. Shoes can be simple and elegant, glitzy and sequined or sassy stilettos.
So choose the jewelry and shoes that will flatter both you and the dress and you will look stunning and absolutely gorgeous because you took a little extra time to find the "perfect accessory"!

The Yellow Rose Awards another Scholarship Dress
Julia Kilgore, owner and operator of The Yellow Rose in Old Town, is passionate about helping young Hispanic girls reach their full potential through higher learning.
Last week, she hosted an after-hours award presentation of her annual “Gloria Dress” scholarship where Mayor Diana Preston and several other local business owners from the Lilburn Business Association (LBA) were in attendance.
Since opening her doors in 2008, Kilgore has given away one formal gown each year to a local female senior as a way to honor her sister Gloria’s memory.
After dropping out of high school, Gloria achieved her GED and then her college degree while raising a family and working full-time. She succumbed to cancer in her early 40’s but not before becoming a major source of inspiration to her sister, Julia.
The winner of the annual “Gloria Dress” scholarship must be a local female high school senior of Hispanic origin who has maintained a 3.5 grade point average and has confirmed plans to attend college.
Congratulations to this year’s winner, Indira Bertarioni!
ertarioni is currently a senior at Parkview High School who took the initiative, applied for and met all of the requirements to win this scholarship from The Yellow Rose.
She plans to attend Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va., in the fall and has decided to major in Psychology. She was thrilled to discover that her hard work in school had resulted in a free prom dress of her choice.
The senior prom is coming up in just a few weeks and Bertarioni is looking forward to attending in her beautiful black evening gown with sequins tastefully sewn into the bodice. There is an additional smaller cluster of sequins sewn into the skirt creating gathers that flow gracefully down the side of the gown.
Not only will Indira receive the beautiful dress from Julia, yet another Lilburn Business Association member, Mary Marder, owner of Freesia Floral Design, will be providing the corsage and matching boutonnière to compliment the dress.
