sweet 16


Question Posted Tuesday January 2 2007, 5:47 pm

14/f
im going to a sweet 16 on the 14th and i have no idea what to wear. The hostess told me that the decorations are lavender, and her dress is off white so no dresses in those colors.
I know I should wear a cocktail dress, but what color? strapless, halter, etc? Links would be appreciated, and nothing too pricy. I don't want to spend more than $100.
i have dark brown hair shoulder length hair, blue grey eyes, and light skin tone.
Also, make up&hair ideas?
And would it be ok to give like $50 or something like that instead of a gift?

A cocktail dress would definitly be cute :] Oh, and Id go with black because its cute, always in style, looks good on everyone and it is less flashy so it wont clash with the lavendar OR take away from the girl having the sweet 16.

Heres some ideas of dresses I like under $100.

For make up, simple but elegant and classy. Dont go over the top. Smoky gray eye and a sheer lip gloss and a light pink blush.

For hair, I would wear it down curly or straight. Up-dos look too formal for a sweet 16.

Also, giving money is usually considered kind of tacky [not too sound mean.] Instead, I would get her a gift card.

It really depends on your skin tone as to what color you should wear. For you, I would recommend neither a dark, dark dress nor a light, light dress. Here are some examples, but I think that you are fully capable of searching Google to find yourself a dress.

I realize that this is out of your price range, but this color is beautiful.

And if you want to stand out, try

Natural make up and loose, pretty waves or straight hair would look best.

$50 would be a great gift!

Its only a sweet 16 so dont get to fancy. A cocktail drsss would be fine. You could get black, blue, red, polka dots are cute:). You could also ask some other people who are going what dress their wearing to get an idea. For hair you could do curls yourself. Or just Straighten it and keep it simple. And 50$ would be great for a gift, money is the main gift at sweet 16.
