I have a birthday party coming up, and the invitation says to be dressy but not too dressy. I don’t know what that really means. I know how to be dressy, but I’m not sure how to be casual at the same time. Can you give me any tips?
What do you think, FPgirls? How do you create a dressy (but not too dressy!) outfit? Share your dressy outfit ideas in a comment!

I don’t know what it means : (

I’ve been in that EXACT situation and I’ll tell u what I did:
I put on a really cute, dressy blouse with sparkles on the collar, and then I topped it off with navy blue, sparkly Sperry flats. For my bottoms I just wore jet black jeggings. (Also, always add some jewelry that helps a lot..)

Maybe wear a dress that has a bit of sparkle, but it isn’t too fancy.
omg looking so awsm i love it ♥
Maybe a nice dress, fishnet tights and a dressy pair of boots.
short dress and leggings
sort of i am better at being just dressy
friend me
No, I am….kind of.
I think you should put on a . . . . . . cute top with straps with some jean shrots with sliver flats and a bun.
I say put on a very cute top then black skinny jeans then black flats
1 a blue short dress
2 gray or silver flats
3 lose side braid
4 a little bit of lip gloss
5 silver earings
i so can understand what u feel like. so many times i’ve picked out a whole ensemble for church and my mom walks in the door, sees what i’m wearing and says 2 find something diff. 2 wear. she thinks i can get REALLY over the top in the code of getting dressed up!
i always have a problem on what to wear
I know right!
if I was asked to go to a party no perfume a dress plain no details flats ( NO HEELS ) the dress should have an open back but not to far it show the places a necklace a bracelet if you have those ask what she likes if she a girly girl get her a month membership at a great spa if she tomboy or not girly girl
Hi Ruby I love your suff!
Oh and none of us know what to wear its not bad at all that u asked for help one of the girls on here helped me too maybe it was you!
I say…..
1 a short casual purple,pink or red dress
2 some matching flats
3 a black neckaless and earrings
4 put a ribbon around your hair like a head band that what I think you should wear
#1 keen linght black lagens
#2 no make up
#3 white or black tan top
#4 a dress color red
#5 for shoes gliter white boots
#6 for the hair get a freanch braid
#7 for the jewelary a neckaless and a red or black pair of earings
#8 that is all it is to it
try wearing skinny jeans and a nice blouse or tee shirt and a cute piece of jewlry
Do you have any beaded things? Try that and wear a tar heel tee shirt with a pink skirt! You can see that girl is totally in to herself so she is going to be dressed like a prancy fancy so you don’t really have to go at all. But that is your choice, not mine. (Just say’n.)
What I would do is I would wear a medium length dress, but don’t overdo it by wearing heels. Wear ballet flats instead, or some other cute type of shoe!
easy! just wear a casual dress like a spring or winter dress with just a normal princess hair style and don’t bother putting on make-up or heals then just wear some really pretty flats
mabe you can dress in a plain dress or be you not how other think you should be look like yourself
Just be you, and rock what you got.
I know this probably too latebut you could wear a fancier shirt and some leggings or skinny jeans with some jewelry
4 a perfect outfit first wear normal clothes. Then 2 dazzle it up a bit add some dressy accessories and maybe some miner dazzling clothing bits.
Yeah! I would just wear jeans and a top that’s fancier than usual.
just do your regular day clothes but add a dash of dressy by doing like cute boots scarf hat paint your nails and that should good
A dress With some acsessories like bracelets and alot of glitter.
I have a good idea. You could were a dressy sweater, or dress,along with a fashion scarf.
So cute,and jewlery.
classy but with a little casual!!!!!! my opinion
~ejlulu~
simple hairstyle
make up no need
necklace
sparkle casual top
mini skirt
stockings
boots
First, think of your friend or family member. What’s that person like? Do an outfit like one below and make it like your friend/family member so they love it!
CookieOlive
1. Hairstyle: French/fishtail braid (whichever one is more like your friend or family member!!!! :D!) You could also add a cute hairclip or bow or headband.
2. Dress: Maybe like a hi-lo dress with not too much class but not too little class that’s like your friend or family member. (This dress doesn’t have to be designer or brand-name. Make sure it’s cute and applied to the dress code and this advice! :)!)
3. Shirt: You don’t have to wear the shirt and the dress and pants together. I’m just giving you these reasons so you can choose, Ruby. There is this really cute shirt from Justice. It’s white, but you probably need a white cami (camisole) under it. It’s short sleeved with little silver dots on the sleeves and it has a necklace in the front. I have it and it’s trendy and my friends love it! :D! :)! !!!
4. Pants: Maybe some skinny or super skinny jeans with a sparkly silver belt. :D!
5. Leggings: You can wear any color that matches with your hi-lo dress leggings or just plain white tights.
6. Jewelry: Give your friend a necklace that says BFF. Make sure you have the other half, and wear it! :P! That’s a fun, clever, and silly (and fashionable) idea! You can also add bedazzled bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces as long as you don’t overdo it!
7. Shoes: If you’re wearing the tights, some black, white, or gray flats would be okay. If your wearing the leggings or the shirt and the pants, you can wear boots or just the flats with NO SOCKS. Believe me, socks with flats are UGLY!!!!
8. Makeup: You don’t need makeup. But you should add some blush and lip gloss (eye shadow is NOT necessary, unless your friend/family member likes it!). Add some perfume or body spray and you smell fab!
-Make sure you brush your teeth and wash your face! In a style flurry, sometimes girls will forget!
Hope these tips are not too long and useful! Friend me, and check your friend requests!
JUST BE YOU DO NOT CARE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK IT IS ALL ABOUT YOU!!!!!!!!!!
(:(:(:(:(:(:(
Yeah, sometimes I tend to worry too much about what other people think of what I wear, but really if you’re just being yourself, it doesn’t matter what other people think of you. I would just mix some casual pieces with some fancier ones!
You need to be dressy/not dressy, huh?That’s a tough one. Luckily, I’ve been through this before so I know what I’m doing. Just wear a dressy shirt with simple pants or a skirt. Just rock what you’ve got!
JUST BE U DON’T WORRY WHAT ANY ONE ELSE SAYS : ) : )
fishtail braid if your hair is long, and if your girly hair is short, try a headband or a cute hair clip
I should try that gut how do you do a fishtail braid
Try wearing leggings or tights, a simple but cute necklace, a knee-length cute floral print dress, and top it of with a jean jacket.
I would wear a short dress but not go way out with the glam. Wear leggings under if your cold. And I would only wear earrings and a few bracelets or a necklace.
wearing a simple beige cardigan and oxfords or plain ballet flats can make a dress look a lot more casual.
I would wear a simple knee-length dress with maybe a nice print on it. I have a dress like that, it is light blue and has pastel-yellow sunflowers on it. You could pair that with flats, leggings, and a slouch jacket (which is a jacket that is meant to be short).
Cute color/pattern jeans with a stylish yet comfy shirt .
i would just be you:) An idea dress with flats a denim jacket and a scarf:)
Wearing a cute plaid button up shirt with leggings and high boots is soo in! You can also put your hair in a side braid.
Wear something casual but just with no denim. Some fancy restaurants I go to have formal dining. They allow you to wear anything but denim stuff. Best look? A cotton dress. Below knee length to keep it appropriate. Not below ankle length.
I would do a knee length dress with a denim jacket and a peice of jewlery.
It looks adorable
what u should wear is a casuil dress with flats and do your hair real nice and do a littil makeup and thats all there reakky is to it
What should I wear 2 a youth Christmas party?!?
I think a CAUSAL SKIRT with a TOP, any kind, and A PAIR OF BOOTS. A for JEWELRY, I think NOT. A BLUE-JEAN JACKET would make the outfit more causal.
Try wearing a nice (maybe sparkly) shirt with a pair of jeans. Do you hair pretty and some flatts. That’s my opinion, hope it helped!
*Rock On*

hey there! Wear a dress that is simple but classy/fancy/casual. I mean well, I have this cotton on dress which is plain but fancyish. Hope that helped
Me too! I wore a blue ruffly knee length cotton sundress dress to a piano competition. Comfy but not too casual. They did not deduct points. Dressing too casual in the piano competitions I go to is against the rules and can deducted points.
Wear a dressy dress, then put on a casual jean jacket, ballet flats, lots of bracelets and, if you want some extra glitz, add a belt.
Viola, a dressy-casual outfit!
-Designergirl13
I don’t know! I also have a problem like that!
-Qshine
Jean jackets are also very casual, and paired with a dress it would be perfect!
Love,
SSGirl
just wear some jeans that are nice and a dressy top with a nice pair of shoes and just a cute hairstyle that’s what I always do casual but fancy.
Hope this helped!
Good luck with your outfit!
Well, you could pair a lace top with a ruffle or normal skirt, ( with leggings) and maybe some boots and a necklace! For a hairstyle that is not to dressy, but still dressy, you could do a side ponytail and curl the pony! I hope I helped!
Love,
SSGirl
I totally agree with you, alexusopal.
I think you should wear a CAUSAL SKIRT WITH A SHIRT. I think A PAIR OF BOOTS WOULD BE GREAT. JEWELRY? I think, NOT.
Hope I helped,
yellowhair
A BLUE JEAN JACKET would be great to make the outfit causal.
Dress with a jean jacket! Perfect combo.
Can’t wait for Christmas
when you wear a skort, you can play almost any game and still look cute.
And forthie birdie!
Maybe a causal dress and a jacket over it and a cute hairstyle and a little jewelry.
Try wearing a nice shirt with a casual pair of jeans. You can also put on a cute hat that matches the shirt, and it will make a casual but dressy outfit!
