Maybe you or someone you know has already purchased a prom dress for later this spring. If not check the racks at your local Goodwill Keystone Area store for a unique and affordable option. Many times people buy items like fancy formal-wear, shoes and clutches to only use them once and then end up donating them to Goodwill. Today I\u2019m highlighting a few perfect Prom accessories that will set you apart and make you stand out.<\/p>\n

Staring at the top, you might need some bling. Things have changed since my day (I went to the Prom in the 80s), but I still see girls sparkling and shining on their special night. These silver rhinestone chandelier earrings will help you trip the light fantastic without breaking the bank. They were just $1.97!\"\" <\/a><\/p>\n

If your dress has an ornate beaded neckline, you obviously don\u2019t need these, but statement necklaces never seem to go out of style.\"\" <\/a> \"\" <\/a>While these have a vintage feel, they are both brand new. The silver one was found new-with-tags from Sugar Fix by Bauble Bar from Target. It retailed for $36.99, but I picked this up for just $9.97. It is well made and besides making a statement on Prom night, it would also elevate a classic jeans and t-shirt look for everyday. The gold and pastel jeweled necklace (found for $5.97 with matching earrings) would look fantastic with a black dress. Add a gold clutch and shoes and you are out the door.<\/p>\n

Speaking of clutches, here are two truly vintage options.\"\" <\/a>\"\" <\/a> They were both $4.97. The clear Lucite one with inlaid rhinestones is probably from the 1960s. The silver and rhinestone metal clutch has a longer strap inside to be able to slip it over your wrist.<\/p>\n

Finally, just like Cinderella, you\u2019ll need some amazing shoes to dance the night away. I\u2019ve showcased the silver Guess platform heels at New Year\u2019s.\"\" <\/a>They originally sold for $99, but were just $6.97 at my local Goodwill.<\/p>\n

The Badgley Mischka gold strappy heels were a shoe lovers dream find.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

New, they would have sold at stores like Nordstroms or Lord and Taylor, for around $245. My cost: $9.97. Not a bad deal.<\/p>\n

Visiting your local Goodwill Keystone Area store<\/a> to look for vintage or unique pieces to finish your Prom look is a great way to save money \u2013 spend the rest of your budget on a fabulous hairstyle or professional make up!<\/p>\n

From my closet to yours,
