cause tonight will be the best night of our lives-everyday sunday

I need some help! Homecoming is coming up in 2 short weeks and I still don't have a dress! Lots of my friends from my old school already have theirs, and their homecoming is after mine.... I don't know where to look. I don't want to spend lots of money on it, so I found some I kinda liked. help me! I don't want some typical, gaudy, cheeky dress..... so i think these are a little casual but whatever. It's not like homecoming is like PROM, this is a very casual dance. I want some dress I can wear after homecoming, something that my parents won't spend $50 on to be stuffed in my closet for eternity.

1. very simple.
2. Almost too causal!?
3. The print on this, is like that old school vintage French floral kinda print....like you see a lot on wallpaper. wait, i don't want a dress that looks like wallpaper do i?!??


4. Cute, maybe the length is awkward though?



5. I kinda realize now, that this looks like forest poop




6. this dress just screams Par-tay! hahaha


7. Too granny-ish??


8. They were all out of the black on this bow one.... but i don't know. Never been the coral color kinda girl, but it's a cute dress. Little too girly??


9. Very elegant.... and classic. :D

10. I really like this blue one, however it's a denim material! NO NO NO!!

11. Too casual?12. I love this deep purple color 13. This is very Luella! but i'm not sure on the color 14. I like this, but i think it may be too summery15. this blue dress also comes in black.16. Are florals ok for a fall dance???17. plain and simple gray18. something crazy... a peacock print. i'm very apprehensive about this19. i love this one, but think it may be too casual?

new dress!

Ha ok while looking through my closet drawers, I find the skirt I wore for my first communion in 6th grade. It's a purple floral Roxy skirt that I got for $13 at TJ MAXX. I love the tulle at the bottom. So I know it's too long to wear as a skirt, so whadda I do? I pull it up to wear it as a strapless dress. Sure it's a little poofy, but I can wear something over it to hide it. i decided to see what I can use in my closet to hide all the poofyess. The black vest I got at a second hand store. It's got some vintage looking gold buttons and black lace, which I love. The one with the leather jacket and yellow belt is cool too. I wear this yellow belt a lot because it add a splash of color. I also can't wear like yellow shirts or dresses because it doesn't go with my skin tone, so I like to wear yellow accessories. Then, to clinch all the fabric together I added 3 belts. A red one, yellow, and brown all from a garage sale or thrift store. I think it has a tribal feel to it, and I love all the tribal belts the designers are doing for summer. I've always been a waist belt person. I always get comments at school wondering why I'm wearing a belt on my waist. People just don't get fashion do they? I respond, "Because it looks cool" Curvy girls should also wear waist belts because it accentuates (I totally spelled that wrong...) their waist, the smallest part of their body. I'm not saying I'm curvy, but I just like the way it looks. And for our final look, I wear a big grey vest($15) that I got at the boutique called KARMA. The triple buckle belt is from H&M($10), and the shades($.25) from a garage sale. This black belt is my favorite of them all! It's also stretchy, so if i get fat or feel bloated I can still wear it! :D

find me on polyvore!
