Royal Risk - Blue & Red!


Hello fashionistas...My first post is paying homage to Alexander Mcqueen. 

This gorgeous blue sophisticated dress is  by Alexander Mcqueen, so lets talk a bit about the dress first. The one shoulder-knee length dress is perfect for either a weekday when you have to work for 8-9 hours and go out for a formal dinner or after party or for a weekend. For during the day-you can pair the dress with black blazer and accessorize it with round stud ear rings and/or a flower bouquet sash as a belt.
For evening wear- pair it up with red--- animal print high heels, red bead bracelet, ruby red drop earrings and a plain clutch. Don't forget to flaunt a red lip color with nude eyes.
Couple of thumb rules here- 
  • On a one shoulder or half sleeve dress, try to go with long earrings and bracelet or solitaire studs in the ears, heavy necklace and a watch . Doing both earrings and necklace can be tacky.
  • Keep it all one metal color. If the base of your earring is silver, all metallic accessories should be silver.
  • Trick the eyes- do different takes on one dress by accessorizing it. Wear it with a blazer not showing much or put on a slender belt/sash to give it a skirt/top look or just pull it off plain!
  • While using any patterned accessories make sure you don't over do, for example in the set above we paired the animal print pumps with a small plain clutch and not a patterned one. You could have also done the opposite- patterned clutch and plain pumps.
These rules go for all most every attire and would rock your look where ever you go...  so get dressed and partayyyyy!!!
