As the days get closer and closer to April 3rd, many girls are stressing over dates, pictures, rides, but most importantly what to wear. Semi is a stressful time as many start to try and figure out the perfect dresses to wear. In the end semi is really hard to shop for because you have your dress has to fulfill three things: it has to be comfortable, fun and unique, and reasonably priced.
One of the most important things to get from your dress is comfort. The most important thing is to feel confident in what you’re wearing, and therefore feel secure in your own dress. Also it should be literally comfortable to be worn, because you do not want to spend approximately four hours dancing in a dress that feels like sand paper. Make sure to check how it feels and fits when you try it on because it could ruin your night. I know this personally because last year I bought this beautiful dress that I loved. It had sequins on it and that was another reason why I really liked it, but I didn’t really move around in it when I tried it on. So when I got to semi and started dancing the sequins rubbed against my skin and scratched me, and my night was not as fun as it could have been. So make sure, when searching for the perfect dress, that you feel both confident and comfy.
Another important characteristic that a dress must have is that it must be fun, unique and stylish. Remember that this is a semi formal, not a formal. You should look for a dress that is fun and exciting not boring and really formal. Don’t be afraid to stick out from the crowd with something that is very bold and exciting. You should find something that is unique, and something no one else would have. Some good ideas would be to get a dress from Jessica McClintock. Here they take down your school and the dress you are getting so no one else in your school could get the same one as you. Also you could go to different places that are not so popular so you won’t end up getting the same dress as someone else, which would be one of the worst things that could happen. Remember keep your own style, and find something that fits your personality, and therefore it will be unique.
When you do go out shopping for a dress, one extremely important this is that the dress should be reasonably priced. It is just a semi formal and you should save up for more important events like Junior Prom or Senior Prom. Many stores have inexpensive dresses that are still of high quality and style. One of my favorites is Macy’s. There are many stores where you can get great dress for a reasonable price; you just have to be willing to look. Make sure to look around, before buying a dress and do not just buy the first one you see. This way you will make sure this is the perfect dress for you and there aren’t any better ones.
Finding a dress isn’t the only important part of semi. Semi is about having a good time, and enjoying yourself with your friends. But if, in the end, you do find the perfect dress for you, then your semi would be that much better.

Vicky- this was a good blog enrtry!! You said: "Some good ideas would be to get a dress from Jessica McClintock." This is just a small error but it would be better if you said that a good idea would be to get a dress from Jessica McClinktock, because there is only one idea. also you said "When you do go out shopping for a dress, one extremely important this is that the dress should be reasonably priced" I think it is supposed to say thing instead of this.. Besides that i really like reading your blog!
ReplyDeletePositives: This is a very fun entry to read. I totally agree with your views on making your dress fun and resonably priced. (I bought my dress at Jessica McClintock :)
ReplyDeleteNegatives: I thought this sentence was a little akward, "But if, in the end, you do find the perfect dress for you, then your semi would be that much better." This was difficult to read, and you should find a different way to say better because it is very unspecific.
