SIZZLING DRESSES FOR WORK OR PLAY

Not sure what to wear for a night out?  Have an event coming up or a big work presentation and want to look fabulous?  Try a new color, texture such as lace, or a new sleeve style to amp up our style and get noticed.


The sleeve of this Ann Taylor Dress and bright red hue will make you the talk of the town.

The lace detail and sleeves make a bold statement in this red BCBG dress.

BCBG "Salina" Dress, $298 ($159 ebay)

Sapphire Blue and Purple are the colors of the season.  This dress can be worn by straight slim body types to those with a larger chest and those who are larger in the waist area.  The sleeves detract from your waist and stomach and can hide arms if that is your problem area.  Can be worn by any aged woman.  Add a long necklace to lengthen your frame.  Textured metallic tights can dress it up for evening.

WILD ABOUT ANIMAL PRINTS

Animal prints is not a new trend, but how you wear them is!  For fall and winter, try colored animal prints, i.e. oxblood leopard print, or layer your animal prints under one family.  Stick to one animal print, i.e. zebra but have the belt, clutch, dress, or blouse in different print sizes.  I love animal print paired with a bold color jacket, shoes, or accessories to stand out.
