Summer coming to an end and you STILL haven’t had the time to shine? Okay, it’s time to put your best foot forwards and have an evening where the heads are turning towards you! I’m not just talking about grabbing the attention of men, but also of the popular girl across the room who you’ve always had an envy for. I know, it’s easy for me to say  but with an awesome color combination and adding some bling to finish your touch, you’d be surprised just how quickly she will notice you before you notice her. This is not to say that I’m the goddess of attention grabbers, but I can point out people in the room that may attract more attention than others. Here are some dos:

1) Go out to a place where you can socialize. It could be a bar, a house party, or a concert, but the point is to be at a place where you will have the opportunity to be seen.

2) A cocktail lounge: Did that little black dress not work for you last time? Try adding some color and go with a seductive red or a fun metallic. And NEVER walk into a cocktail lounge without a pair of heels or stiletto shoes. You’ll look so much sexier with leaner legs and adding some glamor to that dress. If you’re going to wear red, experiment by wearing red lipstick to match the look. It just might add some more romance to your evening.

3) A house party: Don’t be like everybody else and wear the daytime jeans and tank top to the house party. Stand out of the crowd and wear a lacey dress or skirt that flaunts your feminism. But don’t show too much skin, you don’t want heads to turn because you look like a slut!

4) Girls Night Out: A whole group of girls to compete with? I noticed that girls always tend to wear similar outfits when they all go out to a bar or nightclub, so why don’t you be the adventurous one and wear something completely different from your girls? Wear pants instead of a hoochie dress. Wear your hair in a hot updo with dangly earrings instead of letting it loose. Being different is not always a bad thing.

5) Work: Why not? It’s an environment with people, and it’s probably one of the most important places where you want to make a good impression. Go to a business meeting with a sleek light colored suit, like a beige or even a daring white, and wear your hair in updo. I recommend not overdoing the bling, this is one of those times when the phrase “simple is beautiful” comes into play.

6) Shopping outdoors: How many people do you see while you’re out and about doing your shopping? Hundreds! So first impressions is a must for a shopping experience. Not many people stand out of the crowd for me, but those that do makes me want to turn my head and get a better look. Block yourself from the sun and wear an oversized hat with your summer-yellow dress. Finish the look with a pair of comfortable heels (you’ll be doing a lot of walking!) and you’re guaranteed to get turned heads!

Stepping out of your comfort zone is not a comfortable move, but it’s always that first step that brings you closer to a true fashionista! Try it, you have nothing to lose

Love always,
