The Little White Dress

Summertime, it is a lot of opportunities for a great social occasion. From a small theatre group to a sip and see at a great museum, there is too much to do in most cities. The little white dress, a term mostly used when a bride wanted a simple white dress instead a formal gown, is the way to go.
Theatre. It is theatre. There is a simple shift white dress with a red silk heel. A simple gold or silver necklace. A simple adornment is the way to go. A more fun play, you could play around with a pink or even a poka dot fabric shoe moment.
The Museum. A simple gown in silk for an evening affair with black shoes or geometric pattern print silk high heels. Then a satin dress white dress with a flat ballet style shoe with a pony tail is another way to go  especially if it is more early in the evening.
The Event. The event from a music one or a simple party, you can play around more with the pattern of the little white dress. A short tea length dress with silk shoes and statement big necklace piece.
A white dress with a more draped bottom with a strappy shoe is another way to go out. To the party, we head in white dress with lace. A lace white or black boot with great hoop earrings keeps a balance between unique and simple.
The evening food affair. The evening food affair can many things from Emily Post to a place with a wooden post. So, a cocktail hour requires that most simple but elegant look. We put a white dress with off shoulder moment with a metallic heel. A linen dress works for a pool event or an event
in a more casual environment, a simple touch of a leather heel will do. The night time party food affair, you can find a white Marilyn Monroe inspired dress, for those more of a blush personality, you can get someone to sheer in the front of the dress. A strappy metallic high heel completes the look with wavy or curly hair.
So from casual to formal, a little white dress is a classic statement.

Gold

Summer time is a great time for summer white and gold. It has too many fashion applications for the look.
In the clothing box, there are several ways to wear gold. A gold sequin shirt with white shorts, and you are off to a night on the town. A white dress with gold shoes goes from the work place to the date. A gold shirt with white trousers is a classic look for all places.
Then there are accessories. A gold big hoop is always summer time ready. A great fashion gold ring is great when you have a formal moment. A white jumper with gold cuffs is a sophiscted moment. A gold toe ring is fun around the pool. A gold headband is great for the best house party with a white
1920s dress.
Then they are other fashion moments. A gold polish gives a regal look for a crisp white shirt and dark jean. A temporary gold print on the arm is youthful for the weekend. A vintage gold purse never goes out of style with a little white dress. A gold silk rose with a formal dress is a classic touch.
So, a touch of gold can be everywhere.From a dollar nail polish to some serious but sophiscated bling, get the look.

Plato's Closet

So I had a shoe mishap without glue. My shoe fell apart as I was heading to grab something for promotional event at a preschool program. I had less than a hour and less  than thirty dollars to make something happen.

Off to Plato's Closet, it had a sale. Thank God. Three minutes later. I shop very fast. It comes with being a mother. I had three selections in my hand for under twenty dollars. Then yeah, yeah. I had a super cute shoe for five dollars. Yes, read it again. Five dollars.

This is a great place. It always saves my behind. It has great youthful fashion from shoes, clothes, and creative accessories. A Steve Madden shoe can be ten dollars which  in the retail world of one hundred bucks. So, instead one thing. You have many things. It is always a great shopping experience as you bop your head to the beats with a really nice and helpful staff.

This week. You can really hit the fashion lottery. Two dollar shorts with one dollar tops. Yes, the price of burger and fries, you can walk super fine with a cute heel with additional dollars.

On the other side of the fence, fall time is coming. Do you have clothes to sell? This is the place. For cash or for store credit, bring back your things. Then you can continue the madness of shopping therapy.

Get the look...for less.

Fourth of July Fashions

So last week I took a looked and reviewed the fashion looks online for this holiday. Clearly, I think this holiday is suppose to be fun but some of us are trying too hard. Fourth of July is about the basics.  I think a review of it will be helpful for some of us fashion lovers. Basic pieces meet personal touches is the key for Fourth of July fashions.
The picnic. The picnic is normally family friendly fashions. No need to flash grandmother sitting at the table. So denim shorts with a sleeveless shirt is one look. A pair of jeans with a basic t shirt is another look with a flat shoe.
The BBQ. It depends on the BBQ. A formal BBQ can be a simple sundress with a basic pump for a woman and a simple but elegant seersucker for a male. A southern BBQ is normally in khaki pants or short with a crisp shirt. An informal BBQ holiday is fun cut off shorts with a t shirt in good taste.
The beach. Swimsuit. Swimsuit with coverup or simple shorts. I like nautical or USA colors. A wedge or flip flop completes the look with a straw hat. Male, swim suit with a comfortable slip on shoe.
The club. To go from the picnic to club is the norm in Metro Atlanta. Nighttime look. A great color block dress with a scrappy heel to view the fireworks. A wide leg white pant and shirt with a great t strap heel  for a terrace moment. A sequin skirt and fun but dresses tshirt for dance floor.
Novelty looks. Cool expressions,flags,or things that glow. A little goes a long way. The older you are, the less you should do. A jean with USA flag top is fine. A denim romper with I love this country long socks is fun for the day.
So from the park to a great party, get the look.
