Josephine and her Eighth Grade Formal

I have to say that I am not a fan of formal affairs for fourteen year olds.  Some of Josephine's eighth grade friends wore dresses that cost hundreds of dollars and had hair and nail appointments, with dinner dates for an eighth grade dance.  It's a little extra if you ask me.  But, I did agree that she should go - just on a budget.  She found this dress for $42 - borrowed Samantha's shoes and had Samantha do make up and Charlotte do her hair.  Now that's how you do it.  She said there was a playlist for music and she danced with her friends.  She's pictured here with Chelsea - hamming it up for a big night out.
