Wow Your Old High School Buddies with Great Party Dresses

January 4, 2012 at 4:10 PM

It has been years and a few babies later and maybe you have gained a pound or so, but girl, whatever the occasion you still want to look good!  When you put on one of those glitzy party dresses, you want to create a buzz and turn a few heads.  Let’s face it, it is only natural.

You have seen what the celebs wear, but could you wear the same types of party dresses they do?  The answer to that question is yes.  First, determine your body type.  Honestly assess your trouble spots and figure out how to best conceal or accentuate them.  Here is a tip: start with the inside out.  The dress that looks picture perfect begins with perfected undergarments beneath.  Concentrate on selecting a dress with your problem spot in mind: ruches camouflage a chubby tummy; a lower neckline diminishes a larger bust line; a full skirt will disguise those ample curvy hips.  Judge how you look now and dress who you are today.

Okay, let’s go shopping!  Grab some panache, commit to chic, and you will dazzle those old school chums for sure.  Channel your inner goddess with a chiffon one shoulder encrusted with shimmering beads. Create a ruckus with rhinestones and ruffles.  Bring the heat with a sequin embellished halter.  Wrap up the evening’s praise with a strapless jewel tone sheath.  Be stunning in soft pleats and savor the sweetheart neckline accented by the trumpet hemline, because it will leave them begging for more.  If all else fails, the little black dress reigns!  It is fierce, flirty, and fabulous.

Whether it’s ruched, draped, or fringed, bejeweled with crystals, layered with lace, or flocked with feathers, you just cannot go wrong.  You will be simply stunning, so enjoy!

Let the Search for Prom Dresses Begin!

January 3, 2012 at 8:58 PM

The big event may not be until spring, but don’t procrastinate when looking for prom dresses.

It’s tempting to wait until the weather gets warmer to look for prom dresses, and instead stick to shopping for cute clothes for the impending winter season. But don’t get caught in the lurch when it comes to your prom dress – it’s important to remember that a whole lot of thought and effort needs to go into finding the perfect prom dresses for your important event.

While you’re browsing for cute clothes online, keep your eyes peeled for prom dresses that have styles you’d like to try. Often, prom is the first formal event that girls will attend, which means it’s the first real opportunity to get all done up and strut your stuff.

The pre-dance promenade is essentially a runway: make it work for you. You have time on your side, but now you’ve got to take advantage of this opportunity. While you may love certain dress styles on celebrities or models, you must realize that every woman has a different body type. Instead of modeling yourself after your favorite style icon, find prom dresses with styles that flatter your figure, speak to your personality, and make you look elegant.

One of the best ways you can determine which styles and colors are best for you is by wearing cute clothes of all different styles in the months before your prom dress search goes into full swing. If you have blue eyes, incorporate all different types of blues into your wardrobe to find out which works best for you: if robin’s egg blue washes out your skin, but turquoise makes your eyes glow and complements your complexion, you may be best suited shopping for a gown in that color. Wear blouses with A-line, V-neck, and cowl-neck cuts to see which is most complementary to your body type. See if you’d be best suited in a form-fitting or fluffy dress by trying skirts with similar styles.

Once you determine the color, cut, style, and shape of everyday cute clothes that accentuates your best features, you’ll know exactly what you’re looking for in prom dresses. Not only will this make the whole search for flattering prom dresses easier, but you’ll be sure to look absolutely stunning when you make your choice. Don’t procrastinate: set yourself up for success, step out onto that red carpet with confidence, and know you’ll be turning heads with your perfect prom dress.

Vintage Clothes as a Political Statement

December 30, 2011 at 2:17 PM

The fashion trend toward vintage clothes started in the early 2000s. Among those on the front lines of the movement in 2003 were Kenneth Cole, Tommy Hilfiger, Anne Klein, and Marc Jacobs, all of whom released 1960s-inspired lines onto the runway.

Re-introducing velvet and patent leather, along with houndstooth patterns and jumpers, designers created throwback lines of vintage clothes to head off the trend. But what is it about the retro look of vintage cute clothes that makes them so alluring? Well, according to the designers themselves, part of the inspiration was political.

In the 1960s, fashion was edgy and a bit radical – a direct reflection of the political and societal tides of the time. Although cute clothes were popular, women began to wear clothing with more provocative cuts and bold prints, pushing the envelope both on the runway and on the sidewalk. Discontent with political goings-on spawned revolution in almost every aspect of society in the 1960s, and as always, fashion is one of the first to jump on the bandwagon of change.

The emphasis in the 1960s was toward simplicity and natural beauty. Though edgy makeup was beginning to grace the faces of some women, clothing was made with the wearer in mind. Cute clothes were made to accentuate the bodies of women and express aspects of personal preferences.

In the fashion world, trends always seem to come full-circle, and vintage clothes are certainly the start of that process. Perhaps as a statement of dissatisfaction with the prevalence of wars, violence, and hostility in the world today, vintage clothes are making a comeback all over. Hilfiger, regarding his collection in 2003, stated that the striving toward world peace had a major impact on his decision to look backward in time for inspiration.

Celebrities, designers, and even everyday women are flocking toward vintage clothes looks: bold prints, vibrant colors, loose yet flattering fits, and simplistic earth-tones are all popular again. The current vintage clothes trend, however, is different from its first round in the 1960s, because women are mixing and matching. They are playing with textures – lace, velvet, leather – and experimenting with prints – floral, stripes, houndstooth. All of these creative methods are ways to bring your own flavor to your look, expressing your personality through every strategically-chosen article of clothing.

Whether it’s an appreciation for those fashion statements that came before, or a political statement of discontent, vintage clothes are back and seemingly here to stay. So hop on board, and make your own statement with retro-inspired cute clothes that fit your personality and your style!
