Dress for the occasion!

Oh my God! It's been so long! Hello~! :D
I'm so sorry I've been virtually missing from this blog.
My only reason being... I was 'busy' ^_~

Anyway, this months' theme is FORMAL :D
Yay! I love formal wear so much.
Since Anna has blogged about the difference between all the dress codes (too many, if you ask me), I would be talking about something we always talk about... 'Dressing for the occasion'.

Words cannot express how important it is.

1. Weddings
Weddings are joyous occasions and everybody loves dressing up for a wedding.
Avoid, absolutely avoid, tops that reveal too much, super mini skirts, JEANS.
Unless your wedding invitation says dress casual.
Most weddings are formal and it's always a grand affair so respect the grandeur of the occasion and wear your best dress :)
Unfortunately, I've seen girls in their prom dresses at weddings. That's a no. One can tell a prom dress from a proper dress.
Perfect for this night: A little black dress.

2. Proms
Now, proms are also formal occasions and more often than not you won't be allowed to enter the ballroom unless you're in formal attire.
This is the time you college students can ditch your everyday jeans, t-shirts and sneakers and pretty yourself up for a night of fun!
When shopping for a prom dress, take into account the price, colour, cut and design. Make sure it suits your bodyshape. It's best to ask for your friend's opinion. Do not be afraid to try on every dress on the rack even if you end up not buying anything. At the prices they charge, you are allowed at least that much.
Never overdo the accessories for proms. The attention should be on you, not the large rock hanging from your neck. Keep everything subtle and light..
Perfect for this night: Long dresses that are timeless yet sexy

3. Cocktails
Okay, not many people go for cocktails on a daily basis (lol) but it's good to know.
Cocktail dresses are usually bright, fun and not long.
Cocktail dresses for me equals a fun dress. Not as serious as all the others. Yet again, you gotta be subtle with your accessories. Actually, with everything, be subtle with accessories. Accessories is nothing but the icing on the cake and it shouldn't clash with your cake. Match your accessories to your outfit not the other way round :)
Match up your cocktail dress with an awesome pair of heels, a pair of beautiful earrings that match, a necklace and you're ready to go!
Perfect for this occasion: A cute, vibrant dress that screams classy yet fun

4. Presentations or meetings
Yes, girls, this is formal too! When meeting or presenting you must always look your best and professional. Too much cleavage is an absolute NO. First impressions are important as it will decide the outcome of the meeting or presention.
Depending on your line of work, dress accordingly.
If it's an informal presentation than it's okay to wear a button-up shirt (that fits the form) and slacks. Note: Even if it's informal, you dress smart casual.. more smart less casual.
But, if it's a super formal meeting/presentation where you're gonna be meeting the top people, wear the full thing. Jackets, slacks, shirts, pencil skirts.. whatever. Make sure you look professional and not sloppy.
(Slacks are not meant to be figure hugging. If they hug your thighs, they're too small)
Highly important to not look sloppy. Look smart. :)
Perfect for this occasion: A black pantsuit (or a skirt, if you'd rather)
And that's all from me!
Till I post again :) (and trust me, I'll try)
I will bring some findings as soon as I can. I think this blog has been lacking the findings so I'll bring some the next time I post. Stay tuned!

For everything else, there is,
