If you've got "prom" on the brain, you've probably been flipping through catalogs and browsing dresses online. Two thoughts might be drifting through your mind - how much is my dress going to cost? And how am I going to pay for it? Keep reading to find out how much to pay and how to save for
the hottest prom gowns 2015.
There are only a few ways a person your age can make money. You're either going to collect an allowance from your parents; you can make a few bucks from babysitting jobs; you can earn a part-time income at a fast food joint; or you might be lucky enough to land a sales job that pays commission.
I'm going to base this plan on the cost of the dress versus the type of job you'll need to earn it:
Allowance & Babysitting Jobs
If all you have is the money your mom and dad give you once a week, then that will have to do. You can still buy a beautiful dress in the $100 - $300 range. And fortunately, there are plenty of sweet items available for less.
Babysitting might earn you a bit more cash. How much will depend on how many jobs you can get and how often. If you can establish a relationship with three or more families, this will lead to a steady income. You'll be booked solid.
Any more than three or four and you risk not being available when they call. This means they may call someone else to replace you. And a replacement babysitter often transitions into a permanent one.
Faviana makes an irresistible gown in this price range out of sliver or sapphire charmeuse. It's a Marilyn Monroe style halter with gold or silver beads. It is listed as style #5903. Four straps are arranged in an hourglass pattern on the back.
Fast Food or Sales Jobs
Your nearest mall is likely to have a few openings in the food court or a department store. The advantage of a fast food job is consistency; you will be guaranteed a certain number of hours each week at the same hourly rate.
The advantages of a sales job are that it may pay commission. This means in addition to your hourly rate, you could get bonuses for each merchandise sale. These could add up to hundreds of dollars you can spend on your dress.
For a suggestion on

Tony Bowls Collection pieces, you're going to need close to $2000 or more. Tony Bowls Collection style #110C29 is over a thousand dollars worth of shimmering gold gorgeousness. It's a one-shoulder diva cloaked in jewels.
