If you are a lady that likes to dress in comfortable clothes like sweats, jeans, and simple tee shirts, just like me, but does not mind spicing things up for a fancy occasion, then here is an excuse to show off. On May 2, Kean University is having their Senior Formal at the Sheraton Hotel in Parsippany, NJ. The attire for the event is black and white, and in order to help you ladies out, here are some ideas for dresses, jewelery, shoes, and hairstyles that you can wear on this big night.
Dresses!
Rebekah’s black dress from “The Originals”
In “The Originals” for episode 3 called “Tangled up in blue” Rebekah Mikaelson wore a goregous strapless black long dress with a black ribbon in the middle of it. This dress is perfect for an elegant occasion and the best thing is that no matter what jewelry piece you add to it, it will still look timeless. It is also easy enough to move around in, especially if you are a major dancer at parties. This dress style is very popular and you can find it pretty much in any store that sells formal clothing for large events.

Shoes
Now that you have your dress and jewelry, it is time for the shoes. Aside from the dress, shoes are probably the hardest thing for a woman to find if your shoe size continues to change, or if you lost a lot of weight. No need to worry though, here are some cool shoes that you can try for the formal and they will not break your wallet.
Black pumps
A great store to check out shoes for really cheap prices is Payless. These black pumps are plain and comfortable to walk in, especially since the heel is not too high. They can also be used for other occassions, or for business trips, and interviews.
White and silver sandals
If you are more of a sandal girl, then check out these adorable white, clear, and silver sandals from Payless. They are fancy and have an extremely low heel so you won’t have to worry about having red feet the whole night.
Black see through shoes
If you want something that is unique and see through, then check out these black funky heels from beautystop.com. They even have ruffles on it if you are into that. These shoes are hot and will be fun to rock out in for your formal.
White glitter flat shoes
If you feel more comfortable wearing completely flat shoes for your Senior Formal then check out these cute glittery flats! Glitter flat shoes can be found pretty much in any store, whether its Macy’s, Old Navy sometimes has them, or Payless. Sometimes even Rainbow will carry them. These shoes are adorable for this event.
Hairstyles!
Once you have the dress, jewelry, and shoes chosen for an event, the last step to complete your outfit is getting your hair done. Here are some hot, sassy, and classic hairstyles that you can try for your Senior Formal!
Medium sized loose curls
If you want something elegant, but not too tight, then try to get your hair done in loose curls, like Blair from “Gossip Girl” did. If you want you can also add a ribbon, or even a fake flower to jazz it up a little!
Side swept messy curls
If you like curls, but don’t like having too much hair in your face, then try the side swept messy curl hairstyle that Rosalie in “Breaking Dawn” did. This look is great if you want your hair to feel a little rough, but still flawless.
Braided headband style
If you like braids just like I do, then try and go for Jessica Alba’s braided red carpet hairstyle. Her hair is in beautiful neat thin braids going from the front of her hair to back of her neck. It also gathered with the rest of her hair in a bun style. If you like buns and braids, then go this look.
Sassy straight hairstyle
One hairstyle that is ideal no matter what event, casual, or fancy that you go to, is the sassy straight hair. Straight hair is just about the easiest hairstyle that you can do for an event as big as a Senior Formal. If you want to make your hair look like Elena’s from “The Vampire Diaries” add a little curl to the ends of your hair and you are ready to conquer the night!
This is your personal glam guide by Jasmine Leach for your Senior Spring Formal! I hope it helps all of you women look your best on this once in a lifetime occassion!
