How to get the Perfect Party Look

While it might be the season for giving there’s nothing wrong with indulging a bit and giving to yourself! As 2010 creeps up on us, were wrapping up our shopping for friends and family and we’re making our plans to ring in the New Year. And if you’re anything like me that means a new party dress! What about accessories too? Need some ideas? You’ve come to the right place! Here’s what to look for as you put together you’re party outfit…

1. Find a dress in a striking color, something in red, silver, gold, purple. Try something bold. If you go with a black dress, step up your accessories to bring it to life, keep them colorful. If you get something in a solid color like this red Herve Leger dress you can have fun with the jewelry you pair with it. (Hervé Léger Open Back Dress $1,250.00)

2. Find some attention-grabbing dangle earrings. Like a chandelier style earring. Dramatic is the way to go, party time is the one time you can stray away from what you wear everyday. Like these hexagon gold earrings. (Kara Ross Hexagon Stingray Earrings $165)

3. Look for sparkly stacked bracelets. Go ahead, decorate your whole arm! But just do this on 1 arm. Cara’s bangle set is great because they come with 32 bangles. You can also try buying them separate and mix and match them yourself. You can even go with just plain gold bangles if your dress is busy on its own. (Cara Accessories Bangle Set $58)

4. Go feminine and fun with shoes. Shoe off your pedicure ladies! Wear some sexy strappy shoes to show your feet. If you can get something in metallic or bejeweled even better!(Badgley Mischka Egan Strappy Sandal $165)

TIPS:
· Look for a dress with a gorgeous neckline. If you go strapless make sure to wear a statement necklace.
· Don’t be afraid to go all sequined with a dress or exotic print. Just make sure to keep your accessory choices simple and elegant.
· Accentuate your favorite body part, whether it’s great legs or your small waist. A great fitting dress will make you feel and look great.
