Valentines Special- 5 Tips To Remember While Dressing Up

In honor of Valentine’s Day approaching, I thought I would share with you some tips on dressing to attract a man. We all want to look beautiful and sexy but there is a fine line between sexy and slutty. I have lost count of the many times I have met someone because of something I was wearing. Last week while at Bar Boulud a gentleman spoke to me because of my orange dress. He complimented me and noted the color matched the napkins. It was a great quirky moment and it made me realize that men really do respond to women in colored dresses more so than the little black dress. To me a black dress is for hiding and what’s the point in hiding?

* Identify one great feature to play up and work it. A sweatheart neckline or V-neck is a great start. This silk blouse by Tracy Reese is great for black haired ravens.

* Try a flirty wrap-ish dress in a flattering color. In this economy, you should choose a dress that you can wear again in the future, such as this Adrianna Papell tiered chiffon option from Lord & Taylor. Other great styles include: an animal print wrap dress from Laundry by Shelli Segal, an asymmetrical jersey sheath dress from Alex & Ava, and a coral number with lace overlay by Trina Turk.

* Try some sexy earrings to play up your eye color. For example if you have bright blue/green eyes and a round face try these multi-stone drop earrings by Oscar de la Renta. Or if you have brown eyes and square-ish face, these earrings from Etsy are a great accent.

* Ruching details are flattering and hide bumps well. This Maggy London dress is a perfect example.

* Pick one area to flaunt, not two. For example, if you choose to show off your chest with a low-cut neckline don’t wear a mini skirt. If you want to show off your legs with mini skirt go more safe on top. It’s all about balance.
