A dark-colored dress (either black or navy) that's at least knee-length or longer would be beautiful.</p> <p>I also have to interject that, while sparkly and fun in some aspects, the shoes have an overt sexiness to them which bothers me a bit considering your age. I know you want to feel pretty and edgy and maybe just a bit shocking, because, let's face it, that's FUN! I like to do that myself; however I always keep in mind something my husband told me: a woman with a hint of sexiness to her is far more intriguing that one with it written all over her. Imagine this: a dress that covers the bust and legs, but is form-fitting, not tight; or a looser dress that is slightly sheer (only slightly--we want to *hint* not give everything away), etc. You can achieve this kind of thing with a modest dress and those edgy shoes.</p> <p>How comfortable are you at standing out from a crowd? When I was your age, I wanted to blend in with everyone else, but now that I'm older, I love standing out--even if just a little bit. If I were going to a formal dance and all the other girls would be wearing shorter dresses, then that's exactly what I'd steer clear of. I would not want to look like everyone else! I'd pick something tea length or longer to stand out and make a statement.</p> <p>Just food for thought! When you do find your dress, please let us see Have fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-shoes-ideas-after-reading-your-comments#post-497831 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 14:56:33 +0000 nicoleb 497831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is Homecoming different than Prom? Maybe I wore the dress for Prom then if Prom is more formal? I can't remember... ;_; and it's only been like what? 10 years? Lol. Anyways, if no one wears long dresses then i say just go with a dress that is a flared bottom rather than tight. I like the black dress idea and the idea to stick flats in your bag juuuuussssssstttttt in casssseeeeeeee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-shoes-ideas-after-reading-your-comments#post-497817 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 14:35:03 +0000 JennyAnne 497817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm pretty sure no one wear long dresses to Homecoming anymore, sorry ladies. At least they didn't at my High School and College. Con con, I like the shoes with a black dress. I fear white or red would make you look a bit like a flag. Let us know what you pick! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-shoes-ideas-after-reading-your-comments#post-497769 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 08:12:52 +0000 Jenava 497769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>and ConCon? whatever you end up wearing we'd love to see it! I can't wait to see what you end up with.

But anyways, these shoes were straight up....um...lady of the night shoes. &gt;.&gt; They were a big hit with my friends B-U-T i did wear them with a floor length dress. All the girls wore floor length dresses to those things. Not sure how it is now.</p> <p>ETA: I thought maybe i should come back and mention that my mother was not a lady of the night. Though she did have a fondness for the shoes they wore. And leather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-shoes-ideas-after-reading-your-comments#post-497600 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 02:54:15 +0000 Lantana 497600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ive looked closely at you wearing these shoes and you are going to be literally on your toes all night. Not even a professional dancer would do that to her feet. How about, since you've bought them , you love them and they are not going back, you wear them to arrive, to leave, and to sit down in. Take some ballet flats to dance in. I think you could wear these shoes peeping out from a handkerchief hem on a long flowing chiffon maxi dress, bare around the shoulders. That would tone down their outlandishness and maybe send a better message about you, ie you are a stylish young woman with an outlandish "edge". I also think you are an amazing young woman to put yourself on the line like this, ask for feedback, listen to it and seek a compromise. Go girl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-shoes-ideas-after-reading-your-comments#post-497588 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 02:43:45 +0000 Andrea B. 497588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a black, knee length dress would be nice. It would be great to see the dresses that you are considering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-shoes-ideas-after-reading-your-comments#post-497571 Sat, 31 Dec 2011 02:22:19 +0000 Jenava 497571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think IF you wear them...and I think your feet are gonna kill you if you do...you need a dress that is at least knee length. </p> <p>I like the idea of a navy blue or black dress (or yellow?). I wouldn't go matchy-matchy with the shoes, though. Maybe black velvet? </p> <p>They remind me of this outfit I wore a while back...Keep in mind, my shoes are SUEDE, not sequined, and I'm wearing them with red tights, a LOOSE black velvet knee-length dress and a denim jacket, so I've dressed them WAY down. Only one over-the-top item per outfit, please...</p> <p><a href="http://outfitdiary.blogspot.com/2011/02/wednesday-funtime.html" rel="nofollow">http://outfitdiary.blogspot.co.....ntime.html</a></p> <p>But, and I cannot over-emphasize this, your feet are gonna hurt so bad if you wear these to homecoming. Just be forewarned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-shoes-ideas-after-reading-your-comments#post-497454 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 23:55:11 +0000 Liz 497454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm still uncomfortable with these shoes for you, given how very young you are. I'd love for you to be on a path that sets you up to be a classy, fab, mature, young woman from the inside out --and I'd like your clothes to give that message for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-shoes-ideas-after-reading-your-comments#post-497420 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 23:21:16 +0000 Con Con 497420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It wouldn't be tight!<br /> And it has to be below our finger tips anyways so it won't be shorter than that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-shoes-ideas-after-reading-your-comments#post-497411 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 23:10:47 +0000 HelenInCanada 497411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - those are very bold (and pretty) shoes Con-Con! It's hard to judge your potential outfit for homecoming without seeing the dresses you're considering. Personally, I think the shoes look neat, but far too high for a school dance...but that is a decision for your family and yourself to make! Are you comfortable walking/dancing in those shoes? That is an important question to consider! If so, perhaps let us see the accompanying dress (whether you're wearing it or just take a shot of the dress(es) )and that will help us with giving advice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-shoes-ideas-after-reading-your-comments#post-497373 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 22:27:18 +0000 rae 497373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a simple, modest black dress would look great with these. Something that simultaneously tones them down and lets them shine, if that makes sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-shoes-ideas-after-reading-your-comments#post-497370 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 22:26:25 +0000 Irene 497370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Define 'short'. Also, how tight? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-shoes-ideas-after-reading-your-comments#post-497345 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 22:04:14 +0000 Con Con 497345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay so I wasn't planning on wearing tiny clothes with these. I was gonna wear them to homecoming with a short black, blue, red, or white dress. Does that sound okay? </p>
