ok, our homecoming dance is coming up within the next couple of weeks and i've been trying to think of what to do with my hair and stuff with my dress.

sorry the picture quality's bad, it was with my phone: http://tinypic.com/r/53wmmh/4

but i'm an extremely pale girl, and i have auburnish hair. i was just going to wear some simple black flats with the dress, but i wasn't sure if maybe just a nice round toe pump would be better ( i've always been weird about my pale legs so i never thought heels would ever look right ). and speaking of the pale legs, i've also seen people wear black pantyhose with their dresses, good idea you think or no? and then what shoes with that is a question as well.


and then as for my hair. i just have sideswept bangs and i usually straighten it, but it's naturally wavy. i thought about going with wavy cause if i just straighten it it looks kind of weird with the outfit. and with the sideswept, if i did a ponytail it just looks kind of kiddish, in my opinion.


so just whatever opinions anyone wants to toss out, i'd appreciate, haha. sorry for all the questions but i've been talking with friends and people about this and they all gave me different opinions and it just made me more indecisive.

thats a really pretty dress. but i would defintaly not wear panty hoes with it. that would honestly look strange. i would go with black pumps. i think it would give the dress a more sophisticated and sexy look then black flats, which may look childish. dont worry about your pale skin, just work it. your coloring actually sounds really pretty.

i would do either a messy low bun like this,

or like this...

and as for the make up i too would do a smokey brown eye.

when ever you go smokey on the eyes, you want to go nude on the lips so its not to overwhelming.

i hope this helps and you have fun at your dance!

(Rating: 5) thanks so much. yeah i thought the pantyhose might look strange, haha. it always looks good on other people, but when you try it... no, haha. yeah i always just wore flats before cause people end up taking their shoes off anyways so i found it more convinent. but i'm definetely going heel shopping this week. :)

and i loveee the shadowy eyemakeup you showed me, definetely doing that. and the wavy hair seems nice and then i could always pull it into a messy bun later. thanks so much!
