Day Dressing For Ladies
The summer with its warm beams of sunshine is often rammed with social engagements – from weddings and bridal showers to birthdays celebrated on outdoor terraces. For occasions such as these, forego your usual skinny jeans and forget the flimsy t-shirt. Dressing up is an integral part of the celebration! You can still be stylish and keep your cool. Every day, I graciously accept compliments to the point that perhaps I take them for granted. In a gesture of good will, here are my secrets to lady-like dressing.
Fresh as a Mint Julep – The easiest way to make an impression is to wear a day dress in a jewel tone lightweight cotton or linen. Both have a tendency to crinkle so make sure your event is of the standing, sipping spritzer and mingling variety. Vibrant colours often accentuate the glow of sun-kissed skin and make you stand out from the crowd. I love the combination of bright red lips matched with a sunflower hued dress. The best are A-line styles that flare at the waist into a full skirt – this is best for lithe girls who want more volume or for those who want to accentuate a tiny waist. Add a skinny belt in a contrasting colour, presto 25% cuter! Channelling Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday. Yes please!
Blinded by the Lights – When wearing a solid coloured dress, make sure to pop with a bold statement necklace. Use the natural rays of the sun to make your jewellery sparkle. Clear facetted or bezelled gems often radiate more than naturally smooth stones – it’s the cut that makes them more reflective and glittery. If you are going to an outdoor party, why not beat the mosquitoes by pinning yourself with a faux insect such as a rhinestone encrusted bumble bee. It’s a great ‘wink-wink’ conversation piece. Hi-larious.
