Every year, during this time of the year, it is a time to prepare for the Balls, Holiday Parties and Special Events. But how? The economy has not made it easy to spend money freely. So how do you prepare for these formal events without spending money for those formal dresses? Well, it is quite simple.... invest and yes, I did say invest, in a fabulous basic black dress. Long, short, sequinced or laced, you can never go wrong with a black canvas to build your creation. The basic black dress can easily be transformed into several looks. For the most formal affairs, add a fur shawl and rhinestone jewelry. For semi-formal, add pearled or silver jewelry and for a casual night add a blazer and a splash of color with a scarf or fun peice of jewelry. To take it a step further, let a make-up artist show you new colors or ways to wear your make-up. And, always keep your hair simple and classic. Pin-up styles always add elegance to any look.
Well, according to this post, I guess I've always been frugal. LOL. This was one of the emails we received, "how can I look great this holiday season for parties on an affordable budget". Call me, we can include this on the article for Military Link
i wish i could sew. that way i wouldn't have to buy a dress. times are hard for this chick right now and spending 200 on a complete outfit is just not in the budget. this is a great idea though
