"There's lots to consider when putting together your homecoming ensemble. You want to look polished, but you might not want to go all out in a princess gown (until prom, that is), particularly if the fall dance\u00A0isn't a super fancy\u00A0event at your school.\u00A0Plus add in unpredictable autumn weather, and you've got a full-on fashion problem on your hands.\u00A0In search of a solution, we turned to\u00A0reader Zoe, who inspired us by pairing a dreamy blue velvet dress with a tough moto jacket. Read on for three easy tips for creating your own cool-girl ensemble!\n\nPlay with Length\n\n Short and sweet or long and dramatic may seem like your only options, but a knee-length dress is ladylike and figure-flattering\u2014and it's way easier to dance in. It's pretty hard to lolly in a micro-mini, after all.\n\nBoots Are Better\n\n Formal fall occasions call for new footwear. Sleek black boots give a boost of height, while keeping all the attention on your outfit.\u00A0You could even go for black high-top sneakers if you're feeling extra adventurous!\n\nMad for Motos\n\n Who says you can't layer up on the dance floor? A cropped jacket shows off your dress and is more than season-appropriate.\u00A0Insider tip: Pop it over your shoulders for an editor-approved touch while you're hanging by the punch table.\n\nA loose low ponytail finishes\u00A0Zoe's look, and we can't get enough of the delicate mesh and floral combo on her dress. We can pretty much guarantee she'd be the coolest girl at the dance, don't you think?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
