i really like that dress but its too expensive and i think it will make me look old.

knee length, cotton dresses that i can layer with a crew/scoop neck tshirt are preferred. also i dont want to wear it just for grad, i want to use it in high school too. ive looked at macys and other stores but they look very night-ish and very prom, lol.

that might be an okay dress for other occasions...for graduation, not so much. if you're willing to splurge, nordstrom usually has a nice selection of dresses that aren't too casual and aren't too formal either.

you should look for a simple dress that's knee length or longer. if you wear something a little bit bolder (for ex, a bunch of ruffles) you might regret it looking back. (also you don't wanna look $lutty, thats why you should be mindful about the length.)

i guess your best bet would be to look in the sale section of macy's, that's where i got my elementary school graduation dress. forever 21 also has a huge selection of dresses, so you might wanna look there.

but seriously, be real. look for reasonable prices 'cause you're probably only going to wear whatever it is once because by the time you reach high school, you'll have grown a lot. don't be afraid to look in the "sale" section for stuff, sometimes it can surprise you.

*also its a good idea to go to a store instead of buying something online because it might not fit as well as you thought it would.

good luck!

My dress code is so strict and there are no loop holes that I have found so far so I'm stuck wearing the same thing as the rest of the school. It is so strict here are the rules.

So as you can see they are VERY strict. And it's really hard but if you would be able to find anything I could wear that would be AMAZING.
Thank you so much! Paula(:
BTW I LOVE Pink.
I like the store Aero, Hollister, A+F, and of course, any designer stores, all of the stores like that. And again, I LOVE pink(:.
Thanks again!
Oh yeah, and the spending budget, I don't really have one, when i find something I really like I buy it.(: But under maybe $100 for bottoms, under $30 for shirts, and accesories, have no budget.

Man, that sucks! And I thought I had it bad!
Try shopping at stores like Forever 21, with a more classy and sophisticated style. That's where I bought all my clothes, because they adhere to MY strict dress code, and they barely cost anything. I highly recommend their dresses! Good luck Paula!

I could even add a navy w/red stipe repp tie and then tie the sweater losely around my neck.

Very preppy and cute! Looks like you belong on the TV show Gossip Girl with that outfit. Lol.

I don't really know what else I should get, everything has just built up in my warddrobe over the years. I'd like some more fashionable/cool clothes.
& I wanna update it for the new year.

You should wear whatever you want to wear. You seem to have your own style down and I don't think it needs anymore repairing or anything. Just be youself and nothing can go wrong...

Any other ideas?

Please just don't say my dress code is strict, ik that.
Katie DB - September to MIDOctober and then from May till the end of the school year we're allowed to wear polos with our school name on them - they come in gray, black, white and marroon. I'm getting all the colors so I have a lot of variety.

hmm...try to find bright and colorful shirts with different patterns on them. Also get a bunch of really bright flats or low wedges. Try and wear dark pencil skirts and stuff. They always look really nice on most people. Or find longer skirts, that aren't as common as others. It kind of pushes the limit, but is still in there.

Get some really cool jewelry. If that's something no one else has, it makes your outfit seem different.

What do y'all do when it's hot?? I mean at my school, we barely survive in our t shirts at the end of the year. But then again, Southern weather is killer.
