Pleats started to step into the spot light last fall, and they continue to make their way into the spring.  Leave the wide car wash pleats behind, and choose a more narrow pleat in a lighter fabric for spring.

When the relationship that lasted a good part of my 20’s finally ended and I entered the world of dating again. This is stressful enough for any young woman, but for a fashion oriented woman there is a new level of concern: What to wear?! If you follow fashion blogs, you have probably heard for the Man Repeller. What is it? Basically a woman who is so trendy and eccentric with her fashion sense that her outfits have been to know actually repel men. I fall into this category a good portion of the time, and found myself disparately seeking guidance when it came to my first jump back into the dating world.

  • Avoid anything too trendy.
    Yes, wear fashionable and flattering pieces, but most men do not get trends. They tend to appreciate more classic pieces, and feminine silhouettes. Limit any trend following to one piece only.

    Limit anything bold and trendy–like statement shoes or a statement necklace.

  • Patterns can be confusing.
    Especially if you mix them. Stick with solid colors, or subtle patterns that they the focus be on you and not your clothing.  If you do wear a pattern, try to wear a more solid top, so it isn’t distracting during drinks over cocktails.

    Patterns can be confusing. Don’t mix them, and try to keep them on the subtle side, and opt for a solid top.

  • Love your curves.
    Wear something that accentuates your curves, and the most flattering part of your body—especially your hips. A more fitting top with an aline skirt for example. Its classic, and flattering for all body types.

    A fitted top and a full skirt accentuates curves in a good way and is flattering on most body types.

  • Wear shoes that have proven themselves.
    Heels are always a fantastic choice. They make your legs look like they could go on forever, and give your backside and extra lift—but, date night is not the time to break in a new pair of wear anything over the top. Wear a pair of heels that you know you can handle being in, no matter how long the date lasts.  Avoid anything too high or too heavy of heels.  They easily alter our gait, which is half the appear of women in heels.

    Wear heels you know you can enjoy the evening! No one likes when a girl complains about her feet hurting for half the night

  • Match your man’s style
    You should match your date—to an extent. If he is wearing jeans, consider wearing jeans or something casual at least. If he is going to be coming from the office wearing his suit, wear a dress. Dress like you belong together, not like you are from separate worlds.

  • Keep your hair and makeup feminine and non-distracting
    Keep your makeup subtle. Style your eye makeup to make them appear bigger, and defiantly do a little contouring.  Stick to a tinted lip balm for a soft lip and a hint of color. Wearing your hair down is almost always the most flattering.

  • Be Yourself.
    At the end of the day—be true to yourself and your own style. If you never wear dresses, don’t wear a dress. If you don’t like wearing jeans, don’t wear them. I am always over dressed, and in heels—my first date with my current beau I wore jeans, stilettos and a metallic top because it was being true to myself while compromising with her more casual nature.

Yes, I wore this on a date! The guy even saw me again after!

What to Wear to a Summer Wedding: The Accessories

11 Thursday Jun 2015

accessories, fashion, ideas, inspiration, trends, wedding, wedding guest, what to wear

Hopefully last week gave you a little inspiration for what to wear to any upcoming wedding that you have.  This week, I am going to take it it one step further, by giving you a few ideas for how to accessorize in a way that will keep fashionable, and functional for what is bound to be a fun occasion!

The Shoes

How to Accessorise for a summer wedding

I know some say to save the best for last, but I always was a little bit of a rule breaker, at least when it comes to fashion!  Shoes are my lovers, so for me they are first!  For a wedding, neutral colors are always the perfect option because they are versatile and can do with anything.  Metallic shoes are a great option if you like to make more of a statement! Also, warm, romantic colors, like soft pinks and purples are fitting.  Try to stay away from anything too bold–such as reds, which can appear harsh.   Also remember when picking out your shoes that the wedding maybe outside, and there is a high likelihood of spending a large portion of your day or evening getting your groove on out on the dance floor.  Never wear shoes you have not tested out before, and opt for a shorter heel and/or wider heel for more support.  Wedges are also a great option, especially for an outdoor wedding!

The Bag

Choose a clutch or wristlet.  Anything bigger than that looks bulky, and takes away from the rest of your outfit.  After all, it will either be sitting in your lap or holding your chair for you for the duration of the wedding, so why not minimize?  Limit what you bring to your phone, keys, lipstick, money/credit card and ID.  You really don’t need more than that!  My favorite is this nude patten leather wristlet, which is perfect for any outfit.

Jewelry

When in doubt on your jewelry to wear to a wedding is to keep it classic. Trust me, that is a lot for a girl who likes her statement pieces! Pearls are always the go to option because you can dress them up or down.  Only wear statement pieces if you have a simple solid colored dress.  Wearing black dress to a wedding is a perfect time to add a happy statement necklace so you look like you are ready to celebrate the occasion, if your dress has any pattern on it, stick to the basics.

To warm up

Thankfully in the summer, this is less of a concern! Evening weddings though sometimes leave us reaching for something to warm up with. Skip the jacket if possible.  Go for a blazer or cardigan.  Dressier wedding, or just want to elevate your look?  Invest in a pashmina wrap, which adds warmth while still looking incredibly classy.
