Brr, It’s Cold! Staying Warm In Your Homecoming Dress

Unless you're lucky enough to live in a year-round warm climate, you're probably going to be a little chilly walking to and from your vehicle to your homecoming dance. There's no need to wear a long-sleeve, floor-length homecoming dress - you can still look lovely in that strapless dress at your homecoming without shivering!

> Shalls and shrugs are your best friend this homecoming. You can find pretty, sparkly shalls and shrugs to compliment your dress, and we promise they'll only add to how glam you look! Consult your local department store, they usually have a nice selection of shalls to wrap yourself in!

> Tights are another homecoming must. Now, we normally "just say no" to wearing tights with open-toe shoes, but if it's chilly out, you can bet that everyone will be wearing tights and they're completely acceptable in this situation. Skin-toned tights can really keep you warm at your homecoming dance, and no one will even know you're wearing them.

> Save the photos for inside! Taking photos outside your home or the limousine may be tempting, but we urge you to make a hasty exit and entrance to warmer inside temperatures. Stick to indoor photo-taking, and save the outdoor scenes for prom night in the spring!

> Take your vitamins. I know, I sound like your Mom, but it's true, especially since so many people get a cold a few days after homecoming. Start adding Vitamin C and Zinc in recommended dosages to your daily vitamin regimen about a month before homecoming to start building up your immune system. You'll lessen the likelihood that you'll have a cold during your homecoming or be one of the many who are sick after homecoming.

> Borrow his jacket. Guys luck out on homecoming, being able to wear long pants, socks, a long-sleeve dress shirt, and a suit jacket. After the dance, politely ask him to borrow his suit jacket for the walk to your vehicle and your after-homecoming festivities.

If the snowflakes are falling outside and it's very cold, feel free to wear a jacket over your dress! After all, you want to be happy at your homecoming and look great, and shivering is never fun. Feel warm, cozy, and pretty this homecoming!
