Thousands of homecoming and prom stories shared and questions aswered since 2005.
You are searching for the hottest, sweetest prom dress on the market. You want fab, lush looks that will stun the crowd. How about a hint of nearly-angelic with a dab of steaming hot? You don't quite know where to turn yet; Pounce on Pearls. Pearls are a look that has survived time, critics, and endless fashion fopa's.
I'm not just talking about the necklace. I want you ladies to know that the eye-popping appeal of nearly-white on white is beyond dramatic. Top trend setters are noticing this top-notch trend and they are sending it running down the run-way. With the newest sights being set on knee cut waistlines, coupled with the look of waist-length pearls, today's dresses are turning off-white into hot, hot, hot.
Grab your pearls and go. The timelessness of pearl necklaces is highly noted. If you want to glow then this is the way to go. If you sport this top-selling look at your prom you'll glow under the soft light of the night. This sassy look will keep you looking fabulous even after the dance floor takes its toll.
Be sure to bring out the off-white of your outfit with a soft summer glow. Take a trip to your local tanning hut and splurge on a 45$ tan. Be kind to your skin and go sun-free. The hue of your skin will really make the dress 'pop', and stand-out, while allowing the pearls to be extra loud. So it can't get any better, right? Wrong. Even though the underlying tones of this dress say angelic, you can add a dose of bad-girl with a pair of white lace, tie-up heels. The extra cord of off-white, gently wrapped around the lower leg will add a sweet touch.
You want to make sure to pair the dress with an extra long cord of pearls. This is the way to achieve the 'knotted' pearls look. The string of pearls needs to be long enough to put a simple knot toward the end of the strand to give it a playful look. It takes a few inches off of the length when your tie the strand so be sure to test the strand before you buy them. Even though the strand will be extremely long, leaving your neck basically bare, do not over-power the look with a different, shorter necklace. This can cause an excess-baggage look and you don't want to take it too far. If you decide to add a slightly shorter strand of pearls to the look that would be fashionable, but adding a different color necklace to the whole-white scheme can add too much to a clean look.
