cocktail attire ideas — Blog

Somebody asked me what I was going to be for Halloween, and I simply said "Chic."

I'm not with the whole dressing up in costumes thing like I used to be.....well I do dress up but not as a character. I like to dress up in outfits that I would ordinarily wear even if it wasn't Halloween. For instance, one year I was an 80's flash dancer, and I would totally wear a flash dance costume to the grocery store. This year, I decided to dress up as me - chic. ;-)

The outfit I'm wearing in these pictures put me in the mind frame of a modern day Harlem Nights ensemble. It's cocktail-ish, and can be worn to after-five events. I purchased the dress I'm wearing years ago from ASOS, and what makes the sexy in this dress really pop are my Berkshire Sheer to Waist Fishnet Tights. Nothing says sexy more than fishnet tights! Just ask Morris Day; he sang a whole song about fishnet pantyhose!....(google him youngsters).

Fishnets are not to be worn only under dresses. They can also be worn under cut off shorts, distressed jeans, and cute mini skirts (I'll give you an example of this in the future).

I have had plenty of fishnet tights in the past, and they all rip involuntarily before I can really enjoy them ( I actually like to rip them myself). However, these Berkshire Sheer to Waist Fishnet Tights are quality and fit me to a tee. They are perfect for all sizes, comfortable enough for all day wear, and only $11.00!

My friend/business partner April and I participated in Baton Rouge Fashion Week via Chokolat Creme this past weekend. It was exciting, exhausting and beneficial. We had lots of fun and that is what really matters.

The best part about the events this weekend, aside from getting more exposure for Chokolat Creme, was dressing up! For these events, I wanted to do something a little more comfortable and different from the usual fitted dress I wear to events. Check out my fashion week vibe below.

For this night, I went for an all red look. I'm digging wide leg pants this season, and it's a must that I incorporate them in my wardrobe from time to time.

Cocktail attire was required for this night. I opted for a tuxedo look. Move over fellas - I got this.

My girl Coop (aka April) was in the building!

Here's a closer look at the bow tie. I took a regular bow tie, adjusted it to my neck size and clipped it around my neck.

For the Big Night, we were asked to wear formal attire. I couldn't see myself in a gown for this particular night since we had to work, so this skirt did the trick.
