Fads may come and go, but black is forever. You know who you notice when she enters a room? The girl in just another awful pastel print? Absolutely not.

When it comes to black, you’re never going to have regrets . Black is the most flattering of all of the colors out there! Trying to look thin? You best know you’ll be rocking black that day.

According to a recent survey conducted by the Independent, people most associate the color black with positive traits, including confidence, intelligence, and sexiness, while it barely figured in negative traits like arrogance. The problem with going for an all-black look, though, is pretty obvious: Wearing one shade and one shade only can be pretty boring. But it doesn’t have to be. There are a few simple styling tricks that make wearing all-black arguably more fun.

A very easy way to add some dimension to your look is working in lace or mesh to break it up, either in the form of a top or skirt. The textures will play off of each other to add depth to your look. Monochrome doesn't have to mean monotone! What's more, you can sneak some colors in your accessories or makeup to highlight your look. Don't abandon black!

Work Pink Into Your Wardrobe

Many women would think that pink colors are just flattering for young ladies. In fact, pink color is a great color choice for both man and woman. There are many ways to wear pink without looking like a Barbie or a blancmange. Fashion designers have fallen in love with pink over the past year. The following are some idea on how to work pink into your wardrobe this spring.

A young girl in pink is often described as cute, but a grown woman? She’s more likely to hear the words ‘Barbie’ or ‘blancmange’. However, there is good news: you can work pink into your wardrobe as long as you stick to a few rules.

Colors to pair with pink

You can choose to make your pink dress stand out and pair it with black and make a very girly color a bit ‘tough’. Adding black will give your look some edge. You can also pair it with other neutral colors like white, grey, nude, or navy. If you want to go bold, wear pink with green to achieve contrasting effects. If you wish to play it safe, pair it with softer hues in the same color, softer hue will offset the bright color and still look so incredibly chic!

Popular pink shades to try

With spring just a hop, skip and jump away, it’s time to revisit that fling with pastel colors. This season is all about the dainty and dusty hue of pale pink, especially with Pantone’s declaration of Rose Quartz as one of their two top colors of 2016. Next 2016 is all about pastel colors. The same concerns pale pink hue. Go for blush outfits with minimalist details. You can either wear totally pastel pink pantsuit or try on blazer in pastel pink and pair it with light pink skinny jeans.

Wear pink like gown up

Don’t want to look too girlish? Choose menswear inspired clothes and pair them with your favorite pink hue. For example, you can try on sleeveless blush top and tuck it inside ripped boyfriends or try on bulky pink coat and team it with pleated wide black leather pants. The androgynous look is a perfect way to make drastic changes to your everyday outfit. Pink dresses are also great dresses for specialoccasions. If there’s a special occasion, premier or corporate function on your calendar, make an entrance in a dusty pink long sleeve dress and pink and beige sandals.

Dressing guide: How to choose right dress size

When shopping for special occasion dresses, it is strongly recommended to have your measurements taken by a professional seamstress and to have measurements taken in the undergarments you plan to wear with your gown. Here is a guide on how to measure your bust, hip, waist and hollow to hem length.  

When measure your bust, be sure to measure at the fullest part of your chest with only bra on that you will wear with the dress. Position the measuring tape so it covers the full circle and the widest part of your chest. If you want to measure your hip, you should stand naturally with your heels together in a relaxed posture. Position the tape around the fullest part of your hip. 

Measure your natural curve of your waist. Usually, the smallest waist area is approximately about one inch above your belly button. Don't pull the tape too tight or such-in your stomach. Hollow to hem is a specific length measurements used for special occasion dress. The measurement is taken from the depression at the base of the neck just above just the collarbone to where you want the dress to be hemmed. Make sure your account for your heel height of the shoes you plan to wear at the event.

Please consider that even with accurate measurements, you may still need to alter the dress. Let’s face it, no one is the perfect model size, that means dresses will most likely that some alterations will need to be made. It’s a necessary part of purchasing any dress if you want it to look perfect on you. You may not like the way it hugs your hips, or the way it shows the silhouette of your body.

Keep in mind that size charts tend to be different for different stores and that even with your measurements and the size chart, you may be surprised by the wide array of sizes you will seem to fit into. However, you can use this size chart as a basic guide. Always choose the larger size if your measurements come between two sizes, especially if you're ordering online. Avoid the dress size generators, as they tend to give you the wrong sizes. Dress size generators claim to be able to tell you your dress size in each store. If you are looking at European sizes, you'll want to check out this chart, which converts American sizes into European sizes.

Top three colors to try this fall

Autumn is already here! It’s time to put away your summer dresses or pants and start to shop for autumn clothes. Usually, pastel colors are popular in spring and bright colors are flattering for summer. And what colors are trending now this fall? In this post, I would recommend you three colors to try this fall.

Olive

Olive is a great neutral color to wear if you’re warm. There are brighter and more muted versions, lighter and darker. Many girls thought that may have a military connotation to it. And olive green can’t create a girly or feminine look. In fact, olive dresses with ruffles can be very feminine. As olive is warm in its undertone, it’s an ideal neutral that teams well with so many other colors, warm blues, orange, coral pink, red-violet and camel to name a few. If you’re blonde and muted, team it with soft, smoky warm colors in lighter tones. View trending olive green bridesmaid dresses at BlackFive.

Rust

Rust is a red-orange-brown color resembling iron oxide. It is a commonly used color in stage lighting, and appears roughly the same color as photographic safelights when used over a standard tungsten light source. This color stands out because it is both earthy and regal. When red and orange are just too “funky”, you can place your bets with sophisticated Rust, a happy medium between the two colors. When you’re not sure if a color matches rust, think about the outdoor world. If you can’t picture your color of choice being found in nature, then it probably doesn’t go together.

Burgundy 

Burgundy is one of the hottest fall colors. The burgundy color is combined from the shades of red and blue, and it is getting the best from both worlds. Because of that it is color that suits good to everyone. Burgundy looks great with a range of blue shades, and works particularly well with navy. When worn with metallics, burgundy is transformed from a wonderfully understated color into a rich and regal tone. Various shades of brown complement burgundy by playing up the red hue’s classic appeal.
