'Dress' for the occassion
Looking for new evening wear? Or wanting just to revamp your wardrobe? There's designers, always. But it's getting rather monotonous, ain't it?
Here's some fresh ones, some prettier substitutes of style, for the regular LBD.
Need some ideas? Don't just get out there and buy a silly dress you don't love enough to wear again. Jazz up the old, or spice up a simple piece of new garment. Here's how!
Roxanna Bustier Dress
Grey is very in. We all love it, don't we? Especially that metallic grey sheen that comes on certain outfits. Well, this is one such! What I love about it is the bust its got. It defines your shape good and proper, and that kinda style is definitely a thing now! The dress also hs two sections, one darker than the other. Now what's hot about it, is that the darker section doesn;t run all the way till the waist. It stops around the chest. That breaks the style perfectly!

Thrill of the Lace Dress
Got a cocktail to go to? Elegance being the requirement and not hotness? Well, this is the one for you. It's got all the lace a cocktail dress needs, the right style of strap, and also the correct bit of cleavage! The bow, essential to very many cocktail dresses, adds further charm!

It's the LBD again!
Haven't we predicted already, that everybody will be wearing the same tiny, black dress? It is, undoubtedly, sexy. But are we ready to look all the same? Definitely not.
There are always hotter substitutes for the dress. Black is amazing. When in doubt, where black. But if you're reading this, you aren't in doubt anymore.
-There are always different colours you can choose. Stand out. Look amazing in a different colour.
-Accessorize your outfit. There's always means and ways you can modify your dresses. Add a sequined belt, or shoes of another colour, or even accessories that are aren't the same colour.
-Lace is in this year. Make it worth the glory, add them to your dress!

What's in a little animal print, they say. Especially if it shows off that perfect body! And it has the perfect arrangement for the perfect cleavage!

Platinum Mesh Halter
It's a combination of three basic colours that make well for a party dress. Black, grey (silver) and white. The sequined top sets off the party vibe, while the white neutralizes it down. It's a beautiful shimmer for party wear!

Thankyou, Erin.
I feel that the little black dress is too common. And though it looks hot, it just doesn't stand out. In fact, there are so many out there, that all of them have started looking the same!

I agree about there being hotter substitutes. I went for a black sequinned pencil skirt from Express a few years ago for my New Year's ensemble. It definitely got me noticed.
