Tips on LPA!

The time has again come for a formal dance, for me it's our "Loyalty" dance, aka our "LPA". LPA stands for "Ladies Pay All". For this dance, the girls ask the guys and basically pay for everything, too.
I'm going to share with you some tips on how to make your LPA night a memorable one.

Tip #1- Find Your Date!
Since the girls ask the guys at this dance, it's time for you ladies to stand up and take some action! Now, if you're planning to ask that "Special Someone", then you probably want it to be special, right? The best way to make it special is to make it your own. Go on social media site like Tumblr, or Pinterest and get some ideas! You always want to do something that gets the person's attention, and something that they can't say no to... within reason. Go for balloons, or cookies. You could even do something that had some tie to an inside joke you share. Whatever you decide to do, just make it your own, and be creative!

Tip #2- Find the Perfect Dress!
To go to a formal dance, you've got to find your perfect dress. The best way to find that amazing dress is to see what colors and styles look best on you. I suggest going to a store or the mall, wherever you choose, and trying on all different kinds of dresses in all kinds of colors. See which ones you like best, and try to find a dress that matches what you liked. Try not to pick colors that wash you out or that clash with your hair/skin. Also, try to match with your date, it's cute and a good thing to do when you go to a formal dance with someone, it shows that you're together and you put effort into it.

Tip #3- Accessorize, Accessorize!
You can't just go to a formal in just a dress! You need some shoes and jewelry to go with it! Try to find shoes and jewelry that match your dress, or that accent it. You'll look more put-together and nicer.

Tip #4- Hair and Makeup!
Hair and Makeup are really important for formal dances, because you need to tie everything together with them. Nails are a nice touch as well, but they aren't a mandatory thing. Again, look on Pinterest and Tumblr for hairstyles and makeup styles that you like, and have the makeup match with your outfit a little bit. That way, everything will be tied together. Have fun, and experiment with different hairstyles and makeup looks, find out which ones are the best for you!

Tip #5- Take Pictures!
You HAVE to take pictures when you go to a formal dance. If you go in a big group, like I am, take pictures with you group. Have fun with them, and have a good time. Try to do funny ones and normal ones, let them vary. Document your night and make some memories that you can look back at the pictures and think "That was a great night".

Tip #6- Have Fun!
Whatever you do, just let loose and have fun! Be wild and crazy and have the time of your life, because this is definitely your chance to do it. Make some memories and make great friendships. Have a ball, and stay safe.

Stay Fab Xx
