Hello Upper East-Domers,
Now that it’s been a week since school has started, it’s about time we take a break to think about something quickly approaching.
Dorm formals.
If you are a freshman, like myself, you probably have memories of past homecomings and proms and the like as well as mental images of poufy skirts, sparkly bodices, and (literally) killer heels.
Thankfully, with the diploma comes the farewell to the gaudy high school formal dress (“gaudy” isn’t meant to offend. I have many tucked into my closet at home, never to be touched again).
Every formal needs a good dress, and with a little help from fabulous local shop, Flourish Boutique, a few choice picks have been curated for this article, and hopefully one of these lovely frocks will catch your eye!
Now that we’re inching into fall, nights can get a little chilly. Thankfully, this bright number has the sweetest lace sleeves to keep you warm and keep you looking adorable! This dress is super versatile, perfect not only for a formal but also for mass or even to pull on before running to class. Pair with a classic nude heel.
Hey classy lady, can I have yo numba? This dress just screams class, and the flare skirt is flattering on all body types. Add a little sparkle with a fun statement necklace, or a some color with a bright cardigan. Pair with a nude heel or bright heel (no black).
Turn heads in this sophisticated mustard number, with a flirty peplum and a unique color to help you stand out in the crowd. My favorite part of this dress is that it’s perfect for a night of dancing but also a day in the office. Pair with a nude heel.
Playful yet girly, this versatile number is so simple but can be dressed either up or down! The easy fit allows for comfort but the lace accents give it a refined edge. Pair with a nude heel or neutral flats.
