Fashion plays a prevalent role during the famous days of February whether it’s the ground hog dictating when we will begin sporting spring styles or the quest to find the perfect outfit to revel in the romanticism of Saint Valentine.
This mini month has models prancing down runways while it keeps us busy preparing to cascade across cupid’s catwalk in hopes to find, forget, or celebrate love. Avoid the stress of trying to figure out what to wear on the love/hate holiday by using your relationship status to steer your style in the right direction.
The Singletons
Take advantage of a girls’ night out with an eye-popping outfit. Avoid baring too much skin or extra tight threads, as you will ooze desperation not sex appeal. Try wearing red to achieve a smoldering look that will get the right type of attention. Don’t fret over the fact that the fiery hue is the cliché color of Valentine’s Day.
Provoke emotional intensity in potential suitors with FCK’s ‘Sweets’ dress currently on sale at French Connection, Lenox Square. To avoid drowning in a sea of red outfits use gold accents and leopard print to put the spotlight on you.
Pair your red-hot frock with Christian Louboutin’s Leopard Print Python Pumps available at Neiman Marcus. Complete the look by throwing on some gold jewelry and grabbing the Michael Kors Gold Webster Clutch that you can pick up at The Michael Kors Store, Lenox Square.
The First Date
Do you have dating butterflies in your stomach? Instead of looking for relationship signals from him, send out a few of your own through your Valentine’s Day attire.
Draw attention to your best asset when you dress. For instance, wear a skirt with a heightened hemline if you have gorgeous gams. Just remember to balance out the outfit with a toned down, less revealing top. Highlight one body part at a time please! Get the leggy look with Diane von Furstenberg’s Navarette Chiffon Mini Skirt from Saks Fifth Avenue, Phipps Plaza and J Crew’s Perfect Fit Long Sleeved Crewneck.
If your décolletage is the area you would prefer to display try Black Halo’s Sidney Color blocked Jumpsuit available at Neiman Marcus, Lenox Square. Both of these looks are classy infused with a bit of oomph to show your date your sexy, high self-esteem.
Happily Hitched
You’ve walked down the aisle, thrown the bouquet, and now live happily married after. Well those with rings secured around their fingers know that even the strongest of marriages need a little fuel every now and then to keep the fire burning.
Instead of having your husband feeling humdrum while going through the chocolate and flower motions plan a date donning desirable duds. Wear one of Spring 2010’s strongest trends, lingerie inspired pieces, to get your hubby’s heart pounding.
While you are out your look will cause him to lust after you without him being able to pinpoint the reason. Bring on marital bliss by wearing Herve Leger Bustier Cocktail Dress sold in Neiman Marcus, Lenox Square.
