The annual homecoming dance- it’s a thrilling time for high school students. Girls get to dress to the nines and spend hours doing their hair, adjusting their dresses, throwing on pounds of make-up, and gearing their attitudes ready to strut into the sweaty gymnasium like it’s a Parisian runway. (Seriously, they just held PE in there like, four hours ago.) The girls line up one by one, locked-and-loaded behind the doors before their grande entrance. Suddenly the most daring of the group of girls, the girl who is always stepping out on her own and doing things her way, the one with fierce practically written across her forehead, walks forward. She grips the door handle like it’s her very own Excalibur and wields it, throwing the door behind her and prancing straight towards the middle of the dance floor.

If revealing your entire abdomen isn’t really your taste, try a dress with cut-outs on the sides. This season, you can find cut outs on almost any part of the dress from the waist, to the skirt, and even the collars. Especially hot for Fall are the peek-a-boo slit-sides, however. This allows you to show off a little more skin without creating two separate pieces. By adding a bold pair of hoops and simple heels, you’ll keep all the attention on the intricate top and your grinning, confident expression.
