8th grade dance :)
Well this year I'm going to our dance and I really need a flirty dress!
I am about 5'4
Dirty blonde hair (about an inch longer that shoulder length)
Blue eyes
Somewhat medium skin tone
What color should I get? If you could find some (preferably short) that would be great. Also email me at lexalovessocks@gmail.com
Last thing, the stores we have where I live are dillards, macys, forever 21, jcpenny, ect.
(also it would be great if you show makeup to go with the dress, optional but I would really appretiate it!)
Thanks =]

Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
hey~ [again lol]
well with your hair im thinking something turquoiseish or purple...maybe a green not too dark but not too lime color.
since its just a dance i say dont spend all your money on it, but this doesnt mean it doesnt have to be cute.[i would go to forever 21..they have cheap cute dresses]
i can see you in these dresses:

++with probably cute black heels and an "elegant" cardigan [black]
(i agree with not wearing all black but some accesories wouldnt kill you)
this is also cute in both colors:

What ever color you wear - DON'T WEAR BLACK!!! Every one in 8th grade for their first dance wears black because it is safe and they think it looks formal/grown-up/sexy.
RED is much more flirty! With your eyes/hair any shade of purple or turquoise is beautiful. I have never seen a GREEN dress I liked - even on red heads. Don't go for any dress that is the same color as your skin tone -it will make you look washed out.
Also, make sure the dress you are wearing isn't 'overpowering'. Don't go for anything dramatic or with too many ruffles. You want to wear your dress, not have the dress wear you.
It is easier and more comfortable to wear a dress with wider straps so you can wear a regular bra, vs a strapless that you are always tugging up.
Plus, if you are dancing, you don't want to get hot.
Macys is my FIRST stop for dress shopping. Right now they have a dress called 'Love Tease Pleated Dress', with wider straps, Pleated at bust; padded for shape, short (knee), pleated 'shirt' with a empire waist and beading just under the bust line. This style dress covers any tummy, gives you a figure by hugging the smallest part of the body, and still covers you well up top without making you look like a nun. It is on sale for around $52.
As for hair - again...keep it simple and do a trial run if possible. You don't want to have a hair melt down the day of the dance. I prefer just adding a few curls if you are usually straight,or straightened if you usually go natural. Add glamor with rhinestone clips or pins. And if you can, see if your mom will spring for some 'partial highlights' just around your face.
Make-up can be kept simple but bumped up a notch. Add a little eyeliner to top and bottom lids. Get your browns freshly done. Make the lid color either darker or more shimmery than you'd usually wear. If your lips are your best feature, focus on them instead - but don't focus on both LIPS and EYEs. Pick one to do up. Some stores like Ulta or beauty counter will do your make up for you for free. Again -trial run!
