GL's 4 fave spring dance dress trends

Check these out, too...

  • 16 fun in the sun summertime dates
  • Trends we heart: Americana
  • 6 handbags every girl should own
  • 6 ways to make sure your next party rocks
  • Exactly what to wear to your summer job interview
Be the trendiest girl at the dance this spring (read: don’t look like everyone else) by rocking one these hot new trends for your upcoming semi.

 

Trend: High-low hem

Here at GL HQ, we like to call these little numbers the mullet hems: Short in the front, and long in the back. They’re super fashion-forward and of-the-moment, and make legs look amazing!
 

Sweet and High-Low Sheer Coral Dress, $37, lulus.com

 

Trend: Wild skirts

Wild skirts on the lower half of a dress are a great way to add visual interest and texture to your dance outfit. Fringe, ruffles, layers, and tulle are all fun and funky or you can go for feathers like the dress below!

 

Feather Dress, $90, delias.com

 

Trend: Pale metallics

Sparkle and shine will never go out of style when it comes to picking out a dress for a big dance. Go this-season with sequins, glitter and metallic prints in neutral hues. Shine on!

 
 
Way-In One Shoulder Sequin Sash Dress, $74, nordstrom.com

 

Trend: Pretty pastels

Pastels are taking over this season, and color us obsessed. This dress has a beautiful lace pattern, but it’s the color that has us head over heels. Strut your stuff in a selection of precious pastels from lilac to peach or this gorgeous soft blue.

 

Darling Lace Amelia Dress, $135, asos.com

MOD MOD MOD!
Next year I'll be in middle school, and I'm really nervous! There's so many classes and you have to go to each one alone and what if I get lost? I'm really scared because we also have to lock lockers and I have no idea how to use them! And the mean people! My older sis went to the same one I'm going to, and she said the people there are all mean, and they all say bad words, and are super judgemental. Well THAT makes me feel better! And I've never said a bad word in my life! Ugh!




Hey girlie,

Don't sweat it! It seems scary at first because it's all so new, but it's honestly NOT that hard - you'll get the hang of it within the first week. Usually, schools are set up in a really simple layout. Try to get a school map or ask older friends about the school's shape so you can prepare. My high school, for example, is shaped like a big square, with an upstairs and downstairs hallway on one side. So you really can't get lost - you just follow the classroom numbers, which go in order! And if you feel super overwhelmed, ask an upperclassman who looks friendly Smile Believe it or not, a lot of them will be happy to help you! As for the locker, you'll get a 3 number "combination" that will open your locker. The first number, you spin it to the right. Once you're on that number, spin left and pass the first number until you land on the 2nd number. Lastly, spin right again to land on the 3rd number. Then voila - it'll open! It sounds stressful but you'll be able to do it in your sleep soon! 




The people are a tough part of middle/high school, and drama can be kinda crazy sometimes. But school is what you make of it. If you surround yourself with healthy people who are positive and who care about you, that's what counts. Work hard in classes, get involved in activities so you meet new people, and always be yourself <3 You can't go wrong that way!

Mod Mod Mod I know it isn't for a little while but it's most definitley on my mind. Next year I will be in High school and that means I get to start going to highschool dances homecoming,snowball and springfling I know that they are alot different than middle school dances which is casual dress and being crazy with friends. I get to find the perfect dress and shoes. I just don't know what to expect. Please tell me what it's like! I also would want heels but don't think I could ever dance in them please help!!!!!! Thanks(:




Hey girlie,

All of these changes can be soooo scary to think about at first, but you'll get the hang of it once you're there! I promise Smile All these details vary depending on your school (like I could never predict what homecoming will be like at your school - I just know how it is at mine), but one thing that DOESN'T change is this: your high school experience is what you make of it. If you get involved, meet new people, stay open-minded, work hard in classes, and stay true to yourself, your high school life will be great. <3 It might feel tough to keep up with ALL that sometimes, so don't forget to lean on your friends, teachers, and fam for support. You can do it!
