Frock Talk

For those of you with older students, you are probably aware that Homecoming is looming on the horizon; the dance is scheduled for October 13th.  And once kids have asked potential dates to the dance (and I have heard there is some creative "asking" going down out there...anybody have a son or daughter who has been approached in a particularly cool or sweet way?), the next big hurdle will undoubtedly be attire.  

Most guys will be wearing jackets and ties and most girls will don dresses....but of course there will also be shoes, accessories, etc. needed to round out the "look" for the night.  So where to shop?  I suspect that many of you will be hitting the retail pavement this weekend to get things in order before the big dance, so Upper School mom Kelly Vaziri has provided a list of a few places you might find success.
