A Little Lesson in Color...

"Dress the part you want to play." As one of my style icons Nina Garcia said. She was referring to cocktail party attire, which is perfect for this post! The color of what you wear can sum you (and your attitude!) up in just one glance. Think about it: If you're at a party, the girl with the shy wallflower-y personality isn't going to be wearing a dramatic hot pink gown! No, she's most likely going to be wearing a classic black dress- safe and demure. And the life of the party wouldn't be caught dead in something dark or dull! So basically it just comes down to your personality and what message you want to give off. The same rules apply to the style of the dress (anything too tight or short would totally give off the wrong image!) So next time you're going to a party or just dinner at your friend's house, think about what look you want to portray and stay true to what your personal style is!*
