How to get a best slice of the Valentines, Chinese New Year Pie
Cupid and Tigger the Tiger have a date this 14th February 2010, because it is Valentine day and Chinese New Year! So what, where, how?! Well, while you sort that out, let me help you with what to be wearing on this doubly auspicious occasion.
Dressing for the: Red Lovers on Steroids Got a hot date or family dinner with the beau’s? You lucky tiger, you. Please boy and his family alike with a sweetly cut red dress. Think asymmetrical red cotton dress or a red frilly off shoulder number. Looking sweet instead of sexy scores major points with the family yet shows the boy the subtle siren in you. Jazz it up by picking a red dress with a slight sheen to the material if you really cannot do without the naughty hint of romance. But remember ladies, stick to a not-so-sexy cut. Nothing turns people off more than someone who tries to hard. Let the red do the talking.
So-Cute-Single-People-Could-Stab-You Couples If you are already in a steady loving relationship and going out to mingle with others on this wonderful occasion, think of dressing as a couple. Take a moment and erase the thought of you two donning the exact same polo T’s or ‘couple’ shirts because that is just tacky. Complement each other, not brand ownership by match-to-death. So, wear similar hues instead! His navy blue striped collar shirt would go with a cobalt blue bodycon panel dress or his worn jeans and V-Neck pullover would go with your slashed jeans and white off shoulder top (glam it up with awesome heels!) etc. Think sleek complementary style and wow the crowds with your handsome pairing from dining for two to the family gathering.
Single, Neutral and Fabulous No date? Hey, hey, hey, remember this; single girls have all the fun plus its Chinese New Year so there will be plenty of parties glamorize! Don a pair of your favourite jeans or leggings and top it off with a cute top in a nice neutral color. It is totally back this season with nude colored items and shoes romping up the runways. If neutral is not your thing go for pastel pinks and yellows. It will help you stand out in the crowd of red and hot pinks but still make you smashingly feminine and who knows whose cute cousin you might meet at a friend’s Chinese New Year house party.
Have a good one Venusians!
