Long Seeeved Dresses, Always Ah-mazing!

They Key with long sleeved dresses is to have them skim the body, accentuate your shoulders, and have it be just short enough to show off some leg, but make sure you are not uncomfortable. Some waist accentuating design wouldn't hurt either. But in case you are weary, a LBD is always a safe fashion investment.

 A LBD with some lace is always sexy and understated when it is in black. Very Romantic! Valentines Day is coming ladies....just a thought!

Dainty Metallic Details add up to a BIG design that accentuates your curves. Not for the faint of heart, but the key is to let the dress and your hips speak for themselves = accessorize sparingly, simple simple simple! (Hence the nude pumps) Speaking of pumps, with all that curve hugging fabric...make sure you wear a pair of heels you can strut in, CRUCIAL!

It is true... probably very few of us will look this flawless as we traditionally don't get paid to work out and look good...unfortunately! But, this doesn't mean that we cannot draw inspiration from those celebs who can afford extra work out time with wardrobe budgets to follow. The key that I see in pulling these colors off is to match your blush shade to the color/tone of the dress, very Key! Peach Dress = Peach and Bronze. Red Velvet Dress = Deep Red undertones. With a Grey Dress, a nice Vibrant Spring Pink. And with a Gold Dress, maybe stick with a bronzer, keep it simple.

This dress can be paired with many things, as it stands as a nice neutral that can be romantic, rocker-chic, bohemian, modern, simple, etc. It is a great neutral pallet with texture that can act as a foundation for the perfect ensemble, no matter what style suits your fancy! A great dress to invest a little extra money on, as you want it to fit right, probably a piece you will have for years and years to come!

Neutral is tone that you will have to suck it in for, as it has a tendency to show every little bump and lump. Never-the-less...absolutely awesome wardrobe investment, timeless, transitional, PERFECT!

My Fashionistas; when it comes to long sleeved dresses, don't be afraid to play with color and design! You are NEVER fully dressed without a smile!
