I may be long past my prom days, but that doesn't mean that I don't still appreciate all the fun and excitement of prom season – mainly because the dresses are so fierce compared to what they were in the way-back days of the long ago time. I wore an unfortunate, offensively purple dresses to my prom. It was all sparkled overlay. I am not proud. If I could do it all over again, I'd go for a grungy punk princess prom look – like one of these epic ensembles.

1. Combat Boots and Tulle

Combat Boots and Tulle Is there a better combination? Honestly, I think combat boots and tulle are ideal for day-to-day wear. Love this look!

2. Lace and Fishnets

Denim and Tulle The jacket needs a few more buttons, I think. Everything else is absolutely on-point for a punk prom, though.
