Best Outfits When Meeting His Parents

Hey girls!

Let’s say that you are at the point when you should meet your boyfriend’s parents. It’s stressful enough that you have to worry about all sorts of things like what to talk about and if they would like you, so I thought of giving you a few guidelines of how you should dress.

1.First of all, consider simplicity and charisma as your 2 best friends :) I know it has nothing to do with clothes so far but they should be the main starting tips.

2. You want to look fresh and well-dressed but not too glittering or eccentric. Don’t just forget about your style, but take it to a next level, a more serious one.

3. You need to give the impression that you’ve got good taste when choosing things so focus on accessories and try to let them tell a story about you (eg. some jewelry that was in your family for a long time or some special pins - they don’t need to be expensive but unique)

4. You should wear heels. I think you would stand straight and heels also make you make confident and aware of your qualities! I mean it!! It’s tested!

5. Don’t smile too much, don’t talk too much, try to say the right words. Answer questions or ask discreet questions if you want to know more information. Things should be relaxed, try to make them feel comfortable around you. Beauty products are essential here. Wear a classic perfume and natural makeup. Nobody likes to meet a faux-looking girl.

6. Don’t show too much skin. If you choose to wear a dress or a skirt, you shouldn’t choose a top with a big cleavage. Actually don’t choose to show a lot of cleavage whatsoever. Choose something with a classic cut.

7. Occasion is essential!!! Adapt your outfit for the time of day and location of the meeting.

There is the casual get-together where you would go out to lunch or for some drinks. Here you should try to wear comfortable and casual-chic clothes, improvise a bohemian look with a scarf or some hair accessories or try a nice look with some ankle boots and jeans.

1.  Handbag - try something large and suitable for day, this one is Chloe available on BBS 2. Cool Casual ankle boots - these ones are from patent leather Charles David Mingle 3 A nice special top. You can find a wide range of decent unique tops on Forever21 or Oli 4. Skinny jeans - black or something conservative, no pockets, no boot-waist, remember keep skin off limits :D 5. Choose a coat with attitude, go for plaids or something with a good fit and nice buttons.

The Formal Outfit is definitely a more difficult one. Here all the details count and you should be careful not to forget something.

The dress - You can choose a little black dress, or a more special dress. However, for evening-wear black remains a classic. The shoes - Select matching accessories and go for a beautiful pair of stilettos made from a silky fabric, these ones have a velvet bow.  Try to focus on quality of the pumps rather than on the price. The purse - should be a small clutch with a shinny look or embellished stones for an extra glam touch. The accessories  need to be discreet and matched with the attitude of the entire outfit. Choose vintage pearls or a pendant necklace.

Remember, parents have a big word on the way your relationship will grow, so you have to make a good impression. For more tips get informed here and here.

Top Cocktail Party Dresses

The best choice is always the black dress. Even if you think it’s did and done, you can always reinvent it. Accessorize with some amazing shoes and be an elegant diva. You can choose something that suits your shape and you can even go back in time and rediscover shining trends from the 50s or 70s.

1.  MINT Jodi Arnold Greta silk dress from NET-A-PORTER 2. Golden Bracelets from Forever21 3. Jewelled Sexy Peep Toes available on Nine West 4. Valentino perfume Rock`n`Rose Couture from Fragnatica 5. “Pink is the Link” Nailpolish from Essie , Cream shadow in Glampagne, Victoria’s Secret Beauty Rush, Victoria’s Secret

If you don’t want to look too serious wearing just black, you can pump up the style with a black and white combination. Use an intense shade of red to look glamorous or to blend with the season’s colors. You should look out for the type of dress you choose, make sure not to over-try wearing it. Forget the stripes and go for something simple and chic.

One of the smartest way to look good at a party is to shine!! :). Metallics are really hot this winter and you should make the most of them. Go for  bronze, champagne, gold and silver to cheer the holidays. Still, be careful not to look like a Christmas decoration. Focus on the accessories and you’re good to go.

A lace dress works perfectly for holiday parties because it never goes out of style. It can get you through a family party or even an office cocktail. Use clasic makeup that highlights your natural beauty like mascara or a liquid eyeliner. Don’t forget to wear heels and a special purse. You shouldn’t wear too much jewelry because it would make the outfit look very detailed.

sequin floral red cocktail dress

However if you want to be remembered like the hottest person at the party you should brake some rules and check out some hot trends. Choose a sequin dress or be a red dress diva! Choose mettalic sandals to complete your look. Neons are still on for this season, so what are you waiting for? My favourite though, remains the floral pattern dress with a gorgeous pair of peep-toes.

What would you wear?

Shopping Spree Outfit

Feel comfortable and sporty while you hunt down the hottest fall trends. I like this grey-purple outfit as it highlights your playful side. Wear the colorful sneakers from Kidrobot and the plaid hoodie from Pacsun combined with neutral shades of gray on your jeans, bag (MyTheresa) or scarf  from La Garconne. Add some shine with a couple of pattern bangles from Nordstrom. That’s it, you’re good to go!

They say Women rule the world…

I know I sometimes sound like a feminist but I think that it is true that women have the power. They can choose to be whatever they want to be, childish or silly, funny or smart, sexy and dramatic. In this story clothes also have a leading role because they manage to complete an attitude, they inspire and highlight our emotions.

This season it’s all about mixing and matching your style with some hot trends. Use a navy patent leather peep-toes (4  - Manolos from Barneys) with a leather bag ( 2 - Mulberry Bayswater from Net-a-porter). Materials are chic and can be combined with electric metallics (1 -Anna Sui  from Net-a-porter, 5 - Cascade Black Watch from Guess  6 - Blue Pearl Ring available at TopShop  10 - Loose Pigment Eye Shimmer from Urban Decay). You can also use hair accessories for the ultimate look (8  Hair Accessories from Shop-A-Matic ) or if you think it’s too much you can go for some nail polish (7 - OPI) and an intense Eyeliner (9 -Guerlain Terracotta from Sephora). Grey coats are very appropriate for a windy day just be careful to choose one that goes well with the dress (3 - Karen Walker  - La Garçonne).

Enjoy!
