A full length dress is too restrictive for school, let alone too formal.

A little bit, but you should wear whatever you feel most comfortable in..

No If you pair it with a Cardigan and simple shoes makes for a really cute outfit!!!!!! If I were you I would wear Oxfords!!!

No it is the cut of the dress that makes it formal

I would say no, but I wear "too formal" things to college all the time just because I like to, so who am I to say? If you're concerned, try pairing it with a blue jean jacket and cowboy, combat, or motorcycle style boots.

Here are some examples:

I don't think it is too formal. And a ornamental brown belt around the waist can really look nice on one.

You could wear a denim jacket over the dress; denim clothing is generally more casual.

I really enjoy the white one, I don't think it's too formal for school either. It looks very nice and summery and beautiful.
But the floral print one... has got to go baby gurl

Personally I'm not a fan of shapeless dresses with long puffy-like sleeves. I guess its fine if your in an indie music video. As for the print, it looks more old-person and less retro.

Also, The idea of a denim jacket was great, maybe with the ankle boots! That would be a little edgier - and you can pull it off

Wear what you like and don't worry about what others think. As long as it's within school rules.

reply
carrotcat to ZB 2012/08/24 03:32:50

I don't. I just don't want to "over dress".

An evening gown is overdressed. What you're showing here is just fine for everyday wear IMO.

I would try booties(black) cause its winter time and your shoes should say so. Ur shoes should be the same color as your Accessories(that's my style).

I don't think any of the dresses you described sound inappropriate at all. I think they're much better choices than wearing a t-shirt and jeans everyday. I would have worn clothes like that to high school if we didn't have uniforms. If you enjoy dressing 'dressier' I think you should be commended for doing so. If the outfit's not so fancy that it looks like what one would wear to a wedding or formal then it is just fine.

You didn't mention heels but I don't think they're such a good idea. Depending on the outfit, ballet flats, pretty sandals, mary-janes, or oxfords would be appropriate footwear.
