Sure, a cranberry or evergreen dress is the safest bet for your festive fête, but why should these hallmark hues get all the fun? Instead, update those tired trends for jewel-toned colors that won't make ya blend in with the garlands.

Hey thecatgirl: For slightly more expensive dresses, Nordstrom has some really cute numbers. For average prices, most stores in ur local mall will have cute ones but I know Delia's, Macy's, and JCPenney all have pretty dresses. If ur on a budget, I think if you're willing to look, Forever21 stores have great finds! I got this cute cap-sleeved, glittery black one at Forever21 for $23 for cotillion (it's a kinda semi-formal dance). I got so many complimnents! Hope I helpedSmile

im in eighth grade and at the end of the year we're having a farewell (kinda like a mini graduation) people usually wear dresses kinda like the ones in this article, i was just wondering what places would have dresses like this?
Thanks! (:

Mod mod mod! I have a very cute, hip bone length, light blue vest but I got in the summer and it looks a little summery for fall. I was wondering if there was a way I could rework some of
my summer things into more autumn appropriate outfit. With skinny jeans preferably Smile thank GL! -Kali
