Daily Dress: Colors of the Wind

Good news! After spending several hours browsing through dresses at asos.com, my hope for a beautiful, unique, reasonably priced prom dress has been refreshed. This one I find especially appealing, although I was nearly certain I didn't want a long dress this year:
The blend of random colors look just splendid together. Also, it makes me think of Pocahontas.

Daily Dress: Purple Brocade

If I could wear any dress to prom that I wanted, I'd wear this one. Unfortunately, it's not being sold anymore on the website where I found it, and I don't think any other website has it. :(

Prom Dress Issues

It is now April 1st. Prom is on April 30th. I have yet to get a dress. This is mostly because I hate most of the dresses sold at department stores. They just all seem so tacky to me, and I don't savor the idea of meeting someone else wearing the same dress as I do. But none of this is really that big of a problem, because there are plenty of cute dresses at Modcloth.
Up until today, I had my hopes set on this dress:
Simple, elegant, classy, somewhat reasonably priced, unique, and got great reviews. Just a moment ago I checked the website and saw that it was still out of stock (as it has been for the past week or so) but then I also noticed that the reviews had disappeared-- which usually only happens when that item is not going to be restocked. :(

So now I'm looking mournfully at other dresses, but I can't find anything that seems... right.
This dress is lovely, but I don't think I want a black prom dress. Also, I don't know if the cut would flatter my figure as much as the white one would have.
The color of this dress is absolutely stunning, and I love the cut of the back, but it doesn't seem quite formal enough.
Although I don't really want a long prom dress this year, this dress is beyond gorgeous and very tempting... but it's nearing the edge of my price range and I'm not sure I'd fit into the sizes they have left (based on the reviews).

THIS SUCKS.
