Style 911: I have a winter dance coming up and I don't know what to wear

Dances in late winter/early spring are awesome (buh-bye, boredom), but dressing for them can be tricky. Who wants to trek through the chilly air in bare legs and spaghetti straps? Good news, girlies — we’ve got some fab solutions that will keep you cute while keeping out the cold.
Start with the dress
When the days are short and chilly, it’s fun to rock a super-bright dress. This one has some trendy detailing, like a ballerina skirt.

Grab a jacket
Don’t be the girl who shivers like crazy in just spaghetti straps. Pop a pretty cape, faux fur coat, moto jacket or princess-style coat over your dress!

Add tights—seriously
A pair of textured tights will add just enough coverage in the brisk winter weather, but the cable knit pattern will allow your legs to breathe while you break it down.

Pile on the knits
Don’t leave your woolies behind. Cute flip-top gloves and a bright scarf are a must. And to keep your toes toasty warm, be sure to wear boots to the door and then put your heels on once you get inside. There’s no sense slipping and sliding around for the sake of fashion.
