Dressing Up For A Social Gathering

By Jocelyn Canoli


It's always great to be invited to a party but the shock comes when you open your closet door and realize you have nothing to wear for the occasion. It can take all the fun out of going to a formal function and really ruin what could be a great night. Fortunately, finding the right outfit for an evening out doesn't have to be a chore.

It's great to have a party dress or two on hand for formal events. Be sure to find one that fits you really well. That way you'll look and feel good. Here are some more suggestions to get you on your way to becoming a fashionista.

When you enter a dress store, have in mind what you're looking for. I mean, know what style of dress best fits your body. Party dresses come in all styles and colors so it can be overwhelming unless you have some idea of what's going to look good on you in advance.



For example, long flowing gowns look better on tall girls with slim hips and small breasts. Short tight fitting dresses are better for short girls that like to show off their curves. Think about your body type and go from there. 



Sometimes the sheer volume of dresses can make it hard to decide which to buy. Should you go classic or try some glitz and sequins? Think about your personal style and let that dictate. If you are going to a wedding or for a night out you can be flashier. If it's a business dinner you may want to pick something more sedate. 


Colorful party dresses are usually a good choice for everyone. Be sure you know ahead of time what colors look good on you. Of course you can always wear black. It's elegant and classic but it can be boring. Why not attract the right kind of attention with a colorful but tasteful party dress?
 


Don't forget to complete your look by adding just the right accessories. I'm talking about lovely jewelry, shoes and the right purse to make it all come together. It's the icing on the cake. Look for items that don't match but coordinate.



So, you see, it's not that hard to find the perfect dress for that upcoming event. Just take your time and know that it's out there. You might need to put in some effort first but in the end it will be worth it.
