How To Wear My Pretty Homecoming Dress To Dinners


Might I just start this out by saying that Lisa has just so happened to pose her question to the foremost expert in the field of casual sparkle-wearing in the free world. If costume designers were doctors, sparkles would be my specialty. If you will. Wearing pretty clothing in unexpected places is my signature move.

Homecoming dress is actually quite perfect for this, because it's already a casual cut -- it's really just a homecoming dress that happens to be shiny! The slight sack shape will lend itself to being dressed down quite easily. You can't go wrong with a pair of flat or low heeled sandals in black and a strong red lip for a curbside dinner at a local food truck. But don't play it safe with your sandals, most complicated ones you can to add interest and allow them to hold their own against a beaded dress. I personally am crazy for Lisa's dress with some super flat to-the-knee gladiator sandals.

Let's work together to style Lisa's pretty dress for the specific occasions she mentioned, shall we? Go ahead and pull it out to play along! Lisa could easily pair. T-shirt dress with bare legs and a pair of sneakers. It's the perfect way to instantly undercut the fancy vibe a beaded dress inherently gives off.

You live near a Barney's Outlet and don't hawk it regularly, you're cutting your own throat. I've scored some massive, massive deals there. But back to Lisa's question. I believe you can absolutely wear a pretty, beaded dress that was most likely meant for homecomings in the harsh light of day or to spots more way casual than you'd think.

Sneakers also allow you to bust some serious dance moves at karaoke if the mood strikes. I like a high top sneaker because it mimics the silhouette of an ankle boot and gives the outfit a finished look. They add the heft such a serious garment needs. Wear a simple yet statement making bracelet in a color that complements your kicks to add a little interest while you hold the microphone. Lastly, put your hair up in a no-fuss ponytail to finish this sporty meets fancy look.
