“Dress cute wherever you go. Life is too short to blend in.” Paris Hilton

Fashion Fashion Fashion!
What is it? Dictionary wise, fashion can be described as “a prevailing custom or style of dress”, but to me, that doesn’t give fashion its due value. In my humble opinion, I would say fashion is more than just a custom; it’s a definition of yourself before you get to say a word. Your fashion speaks; it commands respect or attracts insults - or neither to be very honest.
So you want to go to a birthday dinner and it’s a really chic restaurant and the crowd you’re going with is wonderful. All fine and dandy but what will you wear? This is when key considerations come into play, I’ll walk you through them.
First things first, who is the celebrant to you? Is he/she your close friend whom you can get to know what they’re wearing or not, or are you being invited as a guest? This is very very very important – you never want to out-do the celebrant, it’s like the unwritten rule of events.
Is there a dress code? Color code?
Will you get cold and need long sleeves/blazer/coat?
How are you going to get there? Will your footwear affect your transportation speed?
Most importantly, will you be comfortable in those clothes? Does it fit right, Do you like every aspect of the outfit, do you feel confident – these contribute greatly to your comfortableness.
I feel I’ve given you enough pointers to get you started, but let me leave you with this question: what does your style say about you?
