Perhaps your school-dance fashion tastes run along more traditional lines than those we've
previously covered? Try taking some notes from the always-appropriately-attired Taylor Swift (see also: Carrie Underwood), who does a rare thing among her peers in the country music genre -- she keeps that classic Country style from getting either too over-the-top, or too Grandama's-Debutante-Dream... Her secret weapons? Sparkles, stilettos, and ... hair. The girl loves her formalwear, but even in floor-length dresses she manages to keep things and light be ensuring that whatever dress she's wearing,
she is the one wearing it, and not vice versa. Whether short or long, that means:
metallics,
sequins and
tulles are totally cool -- but try to keep the material light and the cut simple. For the shorter dresses specifically, think simple tops with
full, fun skirts. Do not shy away from high heels. (Unless you are in the mood for cowboy boots, which may often be
substituted.)
Embrace your curls. And most importantly? Don't forget to smile big.
