Tips for wearing Red

Ticker Tape Dress - Gazpacho/Rainy Day Print

Are you ready for Valentines Day?

Red, the color of Valentines Day - powerful, sexy, energetic.  It conjures a lot of emotions.

But, do you "wear" it?    I'm guilty (like many of us) for sticking to the blacks, grays, taupe's, etc.  I'll add a pop of color - but I tend to shy away from full-on color.

Here's a red dress from one of my favorite dress makers, Effie's Heart, based in Santa Clara, CA.  Effie's Heart makes beautiful, cotton blend designs with vintage, playful prints.

I will be adding Effie's Heart dress-line to my inventory in the near future.  I hope you like it.

This red dress is available--s,m,l.   Cotton/Lycra, umbrella print.

By Effie's Heart:
Five Tips for Wearing Red
Find the Right Shade ~ if you have a cool skin tone (silver jewelry and/or white is more flattering on you) try pink or blue-based reds. If your skin tone is warm (gold jewelry and/or ivory looks best) go for yellow or orange-based shades.
Prepare to be Noticed ~ red can make you the center of attention.
Choose the Occasion while it can be a great choice for a date, it might not be the best idea to wear too much red for an important meeting or negotiation. 
Break it Up ~ if you're going head to toe in a dress, add a different color belt or accessories. Or do the opposite. Accessorize with crimson accents, nails or lipstick.
Just Add Va-Va Voom ~ the color red exudes charm and confidence.

Slimming Asymmetrical

Hooray - the "Asymmetrical" hem line is still with us!  I thought at first this look might be fading fad.  However, looking ahead to Spring & Fall 2014 fashions - I'm glad to see that it's still around.

If you want to create more length and a slimming silhouette--the Asymmetrical hem is the way to go.  It flatters everyone as well as, fun to wear.  The loose, flowing hem line---skims easily over our mid-section, masking the waist and elongating the torso (gotta love that!).

Asymmetrical blouses come in a variety of lengths--side tails, double side tails, handkerchief, etc.  It's all good.  The longer blouses can be worn with leggings or skinny jeans for a very sleek look.  Sometimes a belt can be added for extra fun. & waistline emphasis.


This cotton/Lycra, 3/4 sleeve is asymmetrical front & back.
Beautiful aqua color.   Slightly longer length.  Aqua or Olive.  $35
