This drive brought the town together and impacted both the students in Connect, as well as the greater Wayland community. “You could see how helpful the town was and how our community came together and wanted to help out a community that wasn't our own [and] kids who were less fortunate than we were,” senior and Connect Program member Jordynn Lee said.](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/screenshot_2024-12-20_at_12.21.24___pm_720-e1734734228474.png)

To kick off the new school year, the Student Council has organized a Homecoming dance that will be held in the Wayland High School field house, following a home football game on Sept. 27.. The Homecoming, which will run from 9 p.m. to 11:30 p.m, is a “masquerade” theme, leaving some students out to search for the perfect look. Whether that’s dresses or accessories, here are five online stores to check out for this year’s Homecoming.
“Revolve” is a great site to look for dresses for any occasion. To find a dress that fits the Homecoming look, there is a section titled “Cocktail,” which has a variety of shorter dresses that suit Homecoming. Revolve dresses have a quick delivery process, usually getting your order delivered four to seven days after purchasing. Although Revolve prices are on the more expensive side, their quality is long lasting, making the price worth it.
A popular online store that has gained a lot of attention recently is “LUCY IN THE SKY.” The website has a specific section titled “Homecoming” just for dresses that usually fit under the “mini dress” Homecoming style. Lucy in the Sky is known for their cheap prices. However, their shipping and delivery process can take a bit longer than other stores.
“for Love & Lemons” is a store that is less known than other sites. But, their high-quality and unique dresses can catch the eyes of many. There are a lot of dresses on their site that are gold, white and black, which are all great colors that match the masquerade theme.
“Peppermayo,” a store that was founded recently, has a variety of dresses that range from casual loungewear to gowns for special occasions. On their website, there is a page specifically for Homecoming dresses, which makes the shopping experience easier. With over 552 homecoming dress options, Peppermayo is an amazing store when it comes to finding the best dress. A majority of their dresses are high quality, but won’t break your bank account.
Lastly, an important factor to fit the masquerade theme are the masks. A great affordable store that sells a wide variety of masks in different colors and styles is Amazon. Whether it’s a black tie mask or a gold mask you can hold, looking into Amazon’s masks section will tie your Masquerade look together.
