Jewellery Stand

How can I stand out in a black drape for senior pictures?

My high school has started a new thing for senior pictures. All girls have to wear a black v neck drape. (Example picture here: http://www.prostudiousa.com/Classic-V-Drape-P161C43.aspx) So how can I stand out in a positive way from everyone? What types of jewelry and hairstyles would be good?

1. Act stupid and you shall be noticed. Wear a necklace, some sexy looking hairstyles; something exotic :D or just be beautiful and use elegant-type accessories.
2. See if you can get away with a bright color scarf, or, (if the pic is waist-up), a belt. If not, wear jewelry that really fits your personality. Tribal necklaces, chunky jewelry, cheap bright-colored plastic beads, whatever makes a statement about YOU. Another idea is makeup. wear a bold makeup style, and you'll really stand out. My favorite that a friend of my created was rainbow eyeshadow, which has yellow, green, blue and purple, though you can use any colors you want. Alternatively, you could try a really bright, odd colored lipstick or gloss, such as bright purple, or even green or blue or something like that! I would not mix the 2 styles, though. It would be too much, maybe even a little gaudy. If you did rainbow eyes, go for a nude gloss with a hint of shimmer. If you do the bright lips, go for simple eyes. Try pink eyeshadow with a light purple in the creases. Good luck!
3. Well, I think this is a silly thing personally. Can you wear a shirt or dickey underneath the drape? If not, then something like a necklace or charm that reflects who you are would be a nice, subtle accessory. I see your hair is dark too. You might want to use a bit more makeup that won't make you look to pale unless that's what you might want. All that dark (drape and hair) will make you look pale, so use accordingly. You could also use some color highlights in your hair to offset the brunette coloring. Also, a nice hairclip would be nice!
