Short Dresses = Embellished Shoes!

If you're going short for homecoming this fall, then your shoes matter. How will you flaunt your footwear? Ruffles? Bows? Roses? Sparkle? The possibilities are endless, and can be found in any price range. Here are a few of my favorites:

Forever 21 $28.80



Paris Hilton $99



Kate Spade (I know... But they're soooo pretty) $325

Top 5 Must Have Prom Accessories

1. Shoes
Heels or sneakers, sandals or boots – shoes are a great way to create a unique look for Prom 2010. Under a fluffy ball gown, no one will see your shoes anyway, so why not wear cute ballet flats? If your gown has a slit in the front, people WILL see your shoes – and here is where you get creative! Show your style in something OTHER than the expected high heel silver sandal. A bold color? Flower embellishment or a bow? Printed fabric? The sky is the limit, and you might even find something that you’ll wear again!





2. Hand Bag
For prom, its best to keep the bag small. What do you need to carry to prom? Cell phone, makeup, prom tickets, money, double sided tape. In other words – not much. Keep it cute but take your style cue from your shoes. They don’t have to match exactly, but they should coordinate, or compliment, each other.





3. Jewelry
Rhinestones, crystals, beads? Depending on what your dress looks like, you can decide what the best style of jewelry will be. The more bling you have on your dress, the smaller your jewelry should be. If you have a plain, simple dress, go for the big earrings, bracelet, or pile on the necklaces.





4. Garter
Some schools do this, some don’t. Find a garter that matches or coordinates with your dress, take pictur5es with it, and then give it to your date!



5. Wrap, Jacket, Shawl
If your prom is early, it might be cold out! Consider a (faux) fur wrap, satin shawl, or a cropped cardigan sweater, just for the time that you’re outside.
