OK, I know there are still 13 weeks
till Christmas (well 89 days if we are being exact!) but at MizEllie we have
already had our first party invite for the festive season (I know we are social
butterflies) and with the recent Emmys showing just
how good red carpet chic can be, a lot of us are starting to think about that all
important look for big nights out. In fact the celebs make it look effortless
when they turn up to red carpet events but for us mere mortals it can seem like
a daunting, not to mention expensive, task to dress for a big event – so I
think we can be forgiven for panicking a little about our wardrobe choices.
However, according to new research from
marketing firm Cream.UK it costs the average woman £323 to look ‘a million
dollars’. This included the cost of a new dress, beauty treatments and of
course those all-important accessories. So what should you do to make sure you
look amazing before that big event?
Wear what suits you
OK we've said it before but it is so
true – if you wear what suits your shape you will look a million dollars. Just
look at Christina Hendricks and Sofia Vergara. They aren't stick thin celebs,
instead they embrace their fab (not to mention sexy) womanly curves and dress
to show them off on the catwalk. Because they are dressing for their hourglass
frame and not what they are told to wear in some magazine they look amazing and
as a result their knock out style is pretty much always on the best dressed
lists after an event. So whatever your shape embrace it and wear what suits you,
and when you turn up at that event you will look confident and sexy.
Jewellery, Jewellery, Jewellery
I know you are thinking that we would
say that, but its true costume and fashion jewellery can be a lifesaver before
a big event. How many times have you had an invite to a party and either don't
have time or can't afford to buy a new dress? However, a fab piece of fashionjewellery can take your trusty LBD and make it look like a whole new outfit.
This is particularly good if you have to go straight out after work as a great
pendant necklace or earrings for women slip easily into your handbag and can take a work
outfit from drab to fab instantly.
Shoes
It's also really important to pick the
right pair of shoes as there is nothing worse than being stuck in a painful
pair of shoes all night. So if you are going dancing put on your dancing shoes
(ones that you know you can be comfortable in all night) and throw some flats
into your handbag just in case. Whereas if you are going to dinner and going
from the taxi to the restaurant you can wear your highest heels (as if you need
an excuse!). Also think about the weather as if the pavement is going to be
slippery you don't want to fall over so think about flats to walk home or when
out and about.
Get the look for less
Let's face it we don't have a celebrity
budget (or all the freebies they get) but you can still look fab on a big night
out without spending a fortune. At MizEllie we have a great range of costume fashion jewellery that is sure to get you in the party mood.
