Prom and sparkles—you can’t have one without the other. So we at Make It Better found some of our favorite sparkling accessories for your plus size prom gowns, your daughter with this prom:
Look, no hands. While I love a beautiful clutch, I’ve become an even bigger fan of small handbags with a long shoulder strap that can even be worn crossbody. This is particularly genius for the prom when a small clutch is just asking to be lost of left behind. Poppy Leather Sparkle Small Swing Pack, $98, coach.com
From the top of her head. Your daughter should feel like a princess at her prom. And while a tiara may be a bit over the top, a stunning jewel-encrusted headband will make her look as if she stepped out of a fairytale. The Eddy, $38, k-amato.com
Make a statement. This year’s jewelry is big and bold—even when you’re going to prom. Chunky gemstones. Oversized geometric cuffs. And lots of layers. Just remember, when it comes to jewelry, more is always better. Bracelets shown $20-$35, macys.com
Go for the cardigan. While wraps are lovely in theory, they don’t really do the job. In fact, if they’re not slipping off a shoulder, they’re pinned under a chair—proving to be nothing more than a nuisance. Dare to wear a sweater and actually keep warm on prom night. Merino Ethereal Ruffle Cardigan, $88, jcrew.com
When the dogs are bark’n. No matter how many pairs of strappy sandals or pumps your daughter tries on getting ready for the prom, her feet are bound to hurt after a night filled with dancing. Plan ahead by stashing a pair of cute flip flops into her bag so that she can party all night long! Crystal Too flip flops, Patricia Green, $40, zappos.com
