As Valentine’s Day approaches us ladies are always thinking about ‘what am I going to wear?’ Many times we don’t know what our beau has planned so it’s always good to wear some classic little black dresses or live on the edge and go with something edgier. I always follow the rule of going with classic and timeless and play it up with some sexy shoes and a fun clutch or accessories. If you happen to know what the plans are, let’s say a nice romantic dinner at a place you’ve been dying to try out, or a show/concert, it helps so you know how to dress (no pun intended!). Below are a few options that you can buy now and it will give you time to return if plans change, or if something doesn’t fit. I like www.LuLus.com because they sell so many fun, unique and cute dresses. I have a hard time finding one site that has quality dresses that look in person how they do on the website. They also have a great promotion going on right now to get $10 off your order of $100 or more and

LITTLE BLACK DRESSES

A little black dress is an evening or cocktail dress, cut simply and often quite short. Fashion historians ascribe the origins of the little black dress to the 1920s designs of Coco Chanel and Jean Patou intended to be long-lasting, versatile, affordable, accessible to the widest market possible and in a neutral color. Its ubiquity is such that it is often simply referred to as the “LBD”.

The “little black dress” is considered essential to a complete wardrobe by many women and fashion observers, who believe it a “rule of fashion” that every woman should own a simple, elegant black dress that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion: for example, worn with a jacket and pumps for daytime business wear or with more ornate jewelry and accessories for evening. Because it is meant to be a staple of the wardrobe for a number of years, the style of the little black dress ideally should be as simple as possible: a short black dress that is too clearly part of a trend would not qualify because it would soon appear dated.

 

STRAPLESS DRESSES

Showing off toned shoulder and arms makes a strapless dress a great option. It shows some skin without being over the top. The key to finding the perfect strapless dress is the fit; you don’t want it to be too small where you are spilling out the top of it, and you don’t want it too big where you have to keep pulling it up all night. Here are some great options for all body shapes and bust sizes.

 

 

 

LACE DRESSES

Lace is an openwork fabric, patterned with open holes in the work, made by machine or by hand. The holes can be formed via removal of threads or cloth from a previously woven fabric, but more often open spaces are created as part of the lace fabric. Lace-making is an ancient craft. True lace was not made until the late 15th and early 16th centuries. A true lace is created when a thread is looped, twisted or braided to other threads independently from a backing fabric. Lace dresses add a romantic feel to any dress and even when they are sexy the lace helps to still achieve a soft, girly effect. I love lace since it is so delicate and beautiful, especially as an accent in certain areas of a dress.

 

I hope you all get treated to a wonderful Valentine’s Day evening on February 14th. Don’t fret if you don’t have plans – I used to always grab some single girlfriends and have our own version to celebrate our single status with others. Whatever you do, put on your best dress and heels and get out there and enjoy the night.
