My sisters sweet 16th is coming up, and i was wondering what accessories i could wear with my dress. The party is formal, and ok my dress is black with white medium polka dots, its a cocktail dress, and it has a white satin ribbon in the front. So any ideas that i could wear for accessores, hair, makeup? THanks!!!

What accessories can i wear with this dress?

In Chicago Area: Where could I find a gorgeous but cheap cocktail dress that I could wear just once and not regret paying the price for it. I’m looking to wear it at a dinner in a restaurant that has a dress code (no jeans, sandals, not casual, etc). Short length, any color but black.

Cheap but gorgeous cocktail dress?Chicago Area?

Our customers are occasionally stumping us, and when they do, we love to share! We recently saw a dress code request, “casual yacht club attire”, on an invitation and it sparked a conversation about dress codes on an invitation, are they really necessary and what do they actually mean. I’m not exactly sure what the above was in reference to but I pictured guests walking around in khakis and blue polos with anchors on them, (joke), but it did bring up the question of, what do your guests think when they read your attire request? We do feel that attire requests are great to print on an invitation or insert so that each guest doesn’t feel under or over-dressed. Also if the location of the event has attire requirements, you certainly need to let your guests know.

Below are some commonly used attire requests and their meanings…

Casual Attire - jeans, blouse, shirt, t-shirt, sundress – dress for fun!
Cocktail Attire - mini dress, cocktail dress, khakis – chic stylish dressy clothing, but not overly formal
Business Casual - dress shirt, tie, business suit – basically nice clothes, no jeans
Dressy Casual - dressy shirt, dress – typically no jeans or nice dark jeans without rips/tears, etc.
Formal Attire - formal dresses/gowns, dress pants, suits, ties – dress to impress

When planning your event, if you need to include a dress code requirement, feel free. This will make sure all guests feel comfortable, fit-in and nobody is the main focus except the honoree. Don’t be afraid to get creative with what you call your dress code, just make sure your guests are aware of what it means.

I’m going on a harbor cruise which is a cocktail dress code. I’m wearing a white dress above the knees. Now I’m wearing white because there’s a really nice sweet guy there that I’ve been crushing on and off since I was 10, which makes the past 8 years. Now I want to give the impression of sweet, innocent type of girl that you would bring home to meet your mother. Now I don’t know whether to wear natural or light pink because of the whole natural beauty look I’m going for or pink because I’ll be accessorizing with light pink jewelry.
