Be Dinner Delightful
Posted on | September 11, 2008 | No Comments
So you are going out for dinner with the girls to have some great food and a few drinks. Its time to bust out the cute heals and the come-hither cocktail frock. Yes, even though you may be in a relationship or have some sort of significant other having an evening out with your party, looking every inch the sophisticates you are, is better than a pitcher of cosmos. Start making the ordinary get-together extraordinary by the invite. No-one has time these days to make fancy postal invites but by playing work-hooky for 5 min set up an event with an invite list for 3-7 of your favorite gals on facebook. Then set the ground rules – no flip-flops, no black, and no gargantuan bags. Its time to take to the town!
The rules are essential; the evening culture scene has de-evolved to somehow flip flops and a black sundress as common. This is time to be uncommon and bring your style to the occasion. Bring out your cute (and maybe slightly sexy) heels as dinner and drinks involve minimal standing and walking. Its also time for the fun tiny purse that has been gathering dust – all that you need to carry is the cell, cash, and a tube of lipstick so space is not an issue. Finally, literally paint the city with colour. Ditch the black favor for dramatic reds, deep purples, and autumn earth tones. If you really must do the black, then accentuate with one beautiful large jewelry piece. Whether it’s a chunky necklace with a little shine or an antique pin with some bling a little accent to your standard black will give you that little edge.
So go out there, and make an ordinary night extraordinary. After all, fortune favours the bold.
