Hey Ladies! Homecoming season is right around the corner and we’re here to give you tips on the best styles for this dance season. We know that these kinds of events only come around so often and to make sure you look your best, do a little research before you start the hunt for your dream dress! We suggest you focus on three elements: shape, color, and style.

Shape


Picking the shape of your dress is one of the most important parts of the shopping process. Before you venture out, take some time to look at pictures and styles that you are interested in by checking out magazines and websites! We recommend trying multiple different shapes before you decide on just one!

It’s important to find what part of your shape you’d like to highlight. Pick your favorite feature and let your style flow from there. Keep in mind your options: Do you want a specific neckline? Would you like a cinched waist? Are you looking for a short or a long dress? Consider these things as you’re surfing the web, and then head out to your favorite shop and try things on!

A lot of times at our boutique a girl will come in seeking something very specific. Keep your mind open to a lot of different styles and shapes! Try everything! You never know what might surprise you. Just because you see a dress that doesn’t look stellar on the hanger doesn’t mean it’s not the dress for you!
Color

Every season there are trends in dress colors – for homecoming, we throw those out the window! When it comes to color, we love them all! The important part is picking a shade that is right for your skin tone.

Color

Olive Skin

If you’re an olive, chances are your skin has that year-round glow! Pick something that is rich but bright. Turquoise, fuchsia, and aqua would be great options for your picture-perfect dress. Keep your mind open to adding bright accents in your hair or with your accessories.
Fair Skin

Light skin always tends to look its best when it’s paired with deep and clear colors. Mix it up by trying a navy blue, black, or even a red! Check out how great the contrast will appear with your complexion. Avoid colors that will blend into your skin tone such as light pink, tan, and gold.
Dark Skin

For those of you with dark skin, the brighter the better! Shocking Pink, a bold yellow, white, or lime will make you the life of the party. Continue to add color with your accessories to brighten up your look. Keep away from deep colors that will drown you out!
Rosy Skin

If your skin tends to always have the faintest color of pink attached to it, we suggest you avoid the dark colors all together! Warm colors like gold, taupe, and mauve are perfect for you. Change up the warmth by picking pieces with dimension such as a lace or floral print.
Style

At our store we certainly encourage personal style! Seek out something that has ‘you’ written all over it. Do you tend to like flirty dresses? Are you comfortable in loud colors and bold prints? Are you known for always having the most sequins? Wear something that represents you! Take chances and be bold, but express your own unique outlook on fashion.

Our biggest piece of advice is to pick something you feel comfortable wearing. Find a shape, color, and style that makes you feel happy and confident on the dance floor! Follow these few tips and you’ll be ready for a great evening!

Populazzi!!

Pink Slip is featured on populazzi.com today where we are discussing homecoming tips!

Populazzi is the new book by award winning author Elise Allen.

Here is the premise:
"WHAT WOULD YOU DO if you had the chance to erase your past and reinvent yourself as the person you’ve always wanted to be? Would you grab it? Would you stick with it, no matter what the consequences?

Cara Leonard always wished she could be one of those girls: confident, self-possessed, and never at a loss for the perfect thing to say. One of the Populazzi.

It always seemed impossible… but now could be her chance.

When Cara moves to a new school just before junior year, her best friend urges her to seize the opportunity and change her life… with the help of The Ladder. Its rungs are relationships, and if Cara transforms herself into the perfect girlfriend for guys higher and higher on the Popularity Tower, she can reach the ultimate goal: Supreme Populazzi, the most popular girl in school.

The Ladder seems like a lighthearted social experiment — a straight climb up — but it quickly becomes gnarled and twisted. And when everything goes wrong, only the most audacious act Cara can think of has a chance of setting things even a little bit right."
