What to Wear on Valentine’s Day: Fashion Tips
I’ve searched all over the web for Valentine’s Day style advice, and here’s what the experts had to say…
1. From the girls at I Am Fashion regarding daytime dates: Dressing flirty and casual is the theme here. We suggest matching a simple camisole with a shrug. Jeans are sexy enough without being overwhelming, such as Blue Cult jeans. The bag must be cute, and should not be the ones you usually go shopping in.
2. From the Queer Eye for the Straight Girl cast on About.com: use a light foundation for overall coverage and couple pale pink lips and cheeks with light grays or browns around the eyes.
3. From Nicole Rendler of Torch: You start out at Navy Pier, take a carriage ride down Michigan Avenue, and end up at a night club. How do you choose an outfit appropriate for all three? Layers. Layering allows for versatility and for an outfit to be changed to be venue appropriate with a quick addition or subtraction.
4. The experts at EHow.com suggest going through your closet and pulling out everything red, trying them on, then choosing an existing piece to accessorize, or to purchase other pieces of clothing to compliment.
5. From Me: If you’re single, plan a girls only day, and do something fun with your single friends.
Single or taken–it doesn’t matter. Look great, and have fun doing it. Here are some dresses that would make a perfect early valentine’s gift to yourself…
