Dreaming Of Elegant Silver Styles
April 18, 2010
(And An Elegant Side Braid…)
Spring is here and is filled with beautiful colors, pleasant pastels, pinks, nudes, and shimmers of silver. I like to play with the youthful attitude spring provides for us in our fashion by keeping looks simple, clean, and very fresh. This means in both our clothing items as well as our hair and make up.
Here I have kept the focus on two solid and bold colors: hot pink and silver. Everything else is natural, nude, and soft to build a pretty contrast without going over the top. Because the make up is so light and clean, save for the bold lipstick, I wanted to do something with my hair to break up the symmetry.
With a bubble style dress, tiered in this case, there is plenty of volume so I want to allow more for the feminine form through the limbs and neck, rather than the waist which is hidden. And so I swept all my hair to one side to make a simple and thick braid. When your hair is as thick as mine, you can also add some form by making a curve to rest on your shoulders.
The dress is from designer TIAN MU of YESSTYLE.com. I purchased this some time ago and am enjoying it now in the sunny weather. The shine is mesmerizing and I love how the tiers go slightly longer in the back. If you wanted to make it form fitted then all you need to do is add a belt and change up the style completely. Gotta love that in a dress!

Are you dreaming of silver this spring?
Your hair looks so good like this! I wish my hair was just a little bit longer so I could get the braid look to work on me. And this dress was made for you, seriously! You look gorgeous!
I think a nice chignon brought to the side and towards the bottom would make an elegant and playful alternative. I may do that actually…. lol. It’s a bit editorial but works for real life, too- I think that would be a fun look to play with
And you are a doll, thank you! You know when I first bought this dress I didn’t know what to do with it, now I want to wear it all the time. I think having shoes to match was a part of it, now I do so yay! ( these shoes)
