danielle Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Dd is in a tizzy about what to wear to homecoming. I'm too old for this, and she doesn't really have any friends that date much. Anyway, boy asked her, but we have no idea. She wants to wear some get up with pink Converse hightops to finish off what she calls "eccentric glamour". When dd was about 7 I told her she could wear whatever she wanted unless it was a wedding, a funeral, or an expensive restaurant. This has totally avoided the pitched battle that my own mom and I conducted throughout adolescence. She has great style (very boho), and doesn't go for the "ho" look, thank heavens, so I haven't had much to worry about. But this guy will be mortified, I think. Any advice on what girls wear?

elizabeth Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 http://prommafia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/kristen-stweart-twilight-mtv-movie-awards.jpg Kristen Stewart who stars as Bella in the Twilight movie and New Moon coming out in Nov. is always wearing this look. It is actually cute on those svelte enough to wear flats with a dress. For this momma I say" if it isn't ho, it's a go!" I think it could be cute and how wonderful that her focus is on cute and fun rather than frump or what my mother calls hussywear. I think she made that word up.:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paz Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Does she have any friends she could ask that will be attending or could her date give her some ideas? It probably depends on where you are and the school. It is also probably fairly flexible. My dd went to a homecoming dance with some friends a few years ago. She wore a sleeveless cotton dress with some low sandals. Some of the other girls wore floorlength formal dresses. It really didn't matter.

K-FL Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Is the dance directly after the game? Back in my hs days it was so we dressed to look nice, but be comfortable (& warm enough) at the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSHS Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 http://blog.gettyimages.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/converse3.jpg That shows some pink converse with a dress as well as the Kristen Stewart pic already posted. It depends what dress she's wearing, I suppose. (: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mollyinco Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 sounds like your daughter already has her own style, let her go with that and find something she thinks is both fun and cute to wear....i'm guessing the boy who asked her already appreciates her unique style or he wouldnt have asked her in the first place...encourage your daughter to be unique, and have fun with it...in the end, it really doesnt matter what the boy or anyone else thinks, if she feels pretty and likes her outfit (and you approve of it) then thats all that matters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paula j Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Yep, last year my dd wore a $500 dress and lime green high tops with all her favorite phrases written in italian in a sharpie around the bottoms.:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 For this momma I say" if it isn't ho, it's a go!" :lol: I am going to have to keep this in mind as my 10 yodd matures...thanks for the laugh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liza Q Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I think this type of dress is very Mad Men-ish and would look great with hightops! My daughter wore it for Easter last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
