Mission Impossible: Finding the Perfect LONG Homecoming Dress

There are certain parts of high school everyone looks forward to. The dances, the sports games, the social events, and driving are all things people can look forward to in high school, unlike the homework and school lunches. I’ve been forward to homecoming since the end of 9th grade (in our district high school starts in 10th grade). You get to get all dressed up like a movie star and go dance and party with all your friends, what wouldn’t you get excited about? Our homecoming is the end of next month, so I have a while to look for a dress. But yesterday while at the mall with my mom, we decided to look around the mall and maybe try on some dresses, just to see what kind of selection we would have. Most high school girls wear short dresses to homecoming and longer dresses to winter formals, however our school wears long dresses to homecoming and short to our spring dance. Little did I know how hard it would be to find a long dress for homecoming. I want a long, pretty, kinda simple dress (think Taylor Swift in 'You Belong With Me' in a different color (above)). We to every possible store in Bellevue and Redmond and still didn’t find a thing. There’s still the possibility of Downtown Seattle, but I’m not counting on it. It’s a good thing I have a month to look for a dress, because I’m going to need it.

So I’m asking you: Where did you find your perfect Homecoming dress?
