Sweet Blues & Vixen in Black

Happy Earth Day, readers! 

It's been a while since we've posted, but we're back with some great styles and fun! 

With prom season coming up, we were inspired to feature some of our favorite dresses. Here, A wears a sweet blue dress, with subtle floral print. The shade of blue goes well with her glowy skin tone. And because the dress is structured, she let her hair down to flow in the sea breeze. 

In addition to knowing what color works best, pay attention to what dress styles work best with your body type too. A has learned that an A-line (how perfect) helps cinch in her waist, giving off a great hourglass shape. The V-cut for this outfit is perfect for any occasion since it's not too deep, making it still classy for a wedding, but shows enough skin for a sexy date out. 

And you all should know by now that A loves outfit details! She knows that something as simple as painting your nails can really make an outfit; the dark blue plays off the watercolors in her dress very well (Bouncer, It's Me by Essie). And that adorable bangle? Coordinates Collection was fabulous enough to allow us to feature them on this entry; they make great little pieces with customized coordinates. Shout out to the Big Apple! 

Whoa! There's a change in gears. Contrasting A's sweet pastels, H wore this daring maxi dress. The cut on the dress is a bit different and can make wearing a bra a pain in the butt. A couple of options for remedying that: pasties, taping the girls, or au naturale if you're willing. 

H's complexion is a bit more tan than A and she doesn't usually wear much black; it can make her look gloomy. However, knowing that, she changed her makeup for the day so she had a pop of red lipstick. She also put up her hair, which allowed some of her highlights to peek through and brighten her face. 

Because this dress is a bit more revealing, H chose to not add accessories. 

As mentioned earlier, knowing what colors and styles that work for your body is good knowledge to have; however, don't limit yourself to juts what "works" for your body. What do you like and what makes you comfortable? At the end of the day, if you wear any outfit with a splash of your own confidence, you'll look great! 

What big events are you prepping for? Prom? Wedding? Vegas?
