Trend to Try: Blue Dress



We all have or should have a LBD hanging in our closet that adorns our figure for all the perfect moments in life.


Leave it in the closet one night and try this trend: Blue!!

Jersey knit is possibly the most forgiving fabric you can own. It has some stretch but also some flow to keep from being too clingy. A lightweight fabric with some weight can be worn year round but won't loose it's shape after a few wears.

A wrap dress with a belt is a jewel for the figure...think of it as the designer gods' way of saying: enjoy dessert! This cut will accentuate the bust & waist and allow you a few more sessions in lunge pose by hiding hips & bums!

Seriously, a wrap style dress provides an hourglass figure for all body types...it's the perfect cut. If you are more busty add a tank underneath that hugs your body. Try one with a touch of lace on top to keep the sexy & dressy factor up.

Dark navy is universally flattering hence my selection. I recommend selecting a hue of blue that works best with your skin tone because the options are endless: from cobalt to midnight.

My favorite pairing with blue are metallic accessories: think silver pumps & a patent navy bag OR gold jewelry with lacy navy pumps.

Stylist tip:
  • Cobalt (bright blues): silver, nude or black
  • Navy: black, gold & red

So the next time you are craving to wear that little dress make it a Little Blue one instead!!

Ciao'

  1. Wow, I spied a blue dress at the mall today and instead bought a blue cropped sweater...oops. Doesn't blue make one look bigger? Myth? Can't wait to initiate consulting time ($) with you! I must have someone confirm or dispel these thoughts I have about clothing myself!

  2. MYTH!!! Colors don't make you look bigger...cut & style can effect the way your body looks!
    Navy or midnight actually works just like black...very slimming!
