Spring Dance Special: Accessories Galore...PLUS! Win a Spring Dance Kit!
We found the hottest accessories to match with your snazzy dresses – whether you’re going to the Spring Fling, Freshman Semi-Formal or a fab end of the year dance. Sure, your fab frock will steal the spotlight, but amazing add-ons make an outfit sparkle. Don’t be overwhelmed by the options – GL’s got ya covered, from earrings to shoes!
If your dress is simple – say a classic little black dress – you want your jewelry to give it a little extra appeal. Go with something that makes a statement like an intricate necklace or bracelet with cool stones or baubles. Coral and turquoise are scorchin’ hot for spring.
Antique Beaded Necklace, $6, forever21.com
City Style Exotic Flower Bracelet, $20, nyandcompany.com
If your dress has a major pattern or tonsa florals, nab understated gems like hoop earrings in a neutral color or a plain-but-bright ring. Or go for something unexpectedly cute (like these enamel bow earrings) to add a bit of extra interest, without being too overwhelming.
AE Silver Hoops, $16, ae.com
Flower Ring, $7, claires.com
Enamel Bow Earrings, $15, urbanoutfitters.com
Perhaps the runner up most important part of your dance outfit is what's gracing your tootsies. Go with a presh pair of strappy heels in a neutral color that compliments your dress. Or if you're not real comfortable in pumps, pick a sassy flat sandal. And if you're going with a simple dress, another way to up the ante is to go with a bold pair of shoes. Just make sure you’re not being weighed down by both statement jewelry AND shoes.
Kelly & Katie Cloe Satin Platform Sandal, $40, dsw.com
Buckle Slingback Platforms, $23, charlotterusse.com
Vogue Chop-Out Sling, $20, payless.com
When it comes to your purse, you don't want to be lugging around a big ol’ handbag at your dance. Pick something that is small and lightweight like a clutch or a wristlet. They'll be able to hold just the basics - lip gloss, your ticket, a few extra bobby pins, your cell - while keeping you looking fab and allowing you to get your dance on!
