Today, we are going to talk about summer parties. I recently went to a wedding (quick congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Oetter) and I struggled with finding something to wear. Do I go for a summer-y, flow-y dress? Do I go for edgy and out of season? I finally decided on a lightweight, black and white dress. I know, hat kind of weirdo wears a black dress to a wedding? However, with the right accessories, make-up, and hair-do you can make any little black dress a hot summer party outfit.
Keep the hair simple, but fresh. Tie back into a loose pony with pieces of loose hair framing the face. With this outfit you don't want hair to overpower the main even-the dress.
Make-up should be light, fun, and flirty-ish. Pick a palette of rosy pinks and light browns with a hint of metallic. Bright colored lips always brighten an outfit!
Shoes and accessories should be kept at a minimum for the outfit to appear elegant. Choose neutral shoes that make a small statement. Like, "Look how well I complement this super cool outfit!"- shoes.
Jewelry should be a little flashy, but barely showing. Like one shiny bracelet, or small shiny earrings. Careful, large clunky earrings will darken face. Add a quirky piece like costume jewelry or a pair of ridiculous glasses! Guaranteed, no one will be wearing them at the party.
Here's how my look turned out!
Love it...as usual!
