The theme of this end-of-eighth-grade semi-formal dance is "Under The Stars". I'm not sure if this means like under the stars in New York city, or like under the stars in the meadows of frolicking rabbits (kinda fantasy-like). Which is it?
There's also graduation the day before or so. Would it be okay if I wore a black dress (a mix between short sleeved and sleeveless--the sleeves are so short, they could possibly be considered sleeveless but there's a hint of a sleeve) with high heels?
The dress I want to buy is sleeveless, but you can wear it with hidden straps. It's a lovely mixture of red and pink, and costs about $59.99. This dress is for the dance, not graduation. Is that too much? Is it too formal to wear heels for a semi-formal dance? Should my hear be down or up? Is it okay if I wear the same shoes from the graduation to the dance (because I heard it's a no-no for dresses)?
I know I have a bunch of questions, but it's my first real "dance" (all the other ones are called "socials" where people just talk, not even bothering to dress up). Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
