Sorry it's been so long since I've posted! There has been so much going on I just haven't had the time but to make it up, I will be posting three posts in the next three days!
I have been searching around for a prom dress for ages and I finally went to try on this one I found online from a boutique called www.elliotclare.com, they have a showroom in london in hatton gardens, which I went to visit and it was so pretty, I have a bit of an obsession with fairy lights and the fairy lights outside were so pretty and so was the decor inside!
When I arrived I saw the dress that I wanted but it was different from what it appeared to be online, but I then got to speak to the designer. This was a really good experience for me and I loved talking to her and learning more about how she designs the dresses, it was quite inspiring for me really as this is what I hope to do one day! After talking to the designer we worked out how to make the dress how I wanted it and this is what my dress looks like...
I thought this post might be useful so some people who like me have a prom coming up this year. I didn't really know what colours suited me and what colour dress to get and I went looking around and couldn't find one I liked for ages. I have quite fair skin so to bring that out and make me stand out I got recommended by someone to look at light/ice blues, I'm not really a blue kind of person and often like to stay a bit more safe and not as bold but I looked around anyway; I found out after trying a few on I didn't like it. But then I came across this dress, and it's such a beautiful rosy pink- if you're struggling to find a dress and you're fair skinned like me try a light pink dress!
The back is so beautiful, I've struggled to find a dress with a lower back and I can't believe how lucky I am to have found one like this it's so unique and I just love it.
Colours that suit fairer skin;
Emerald green
Navy blue
Icy blue
Rosy pink
Reds (depending on how fair your skin is, it could be too overpowering)
If you have fair skin avoid earthy tones such as beige, orange, creams and terracottas because they will just wash you out completely!
Colours that suit warmer/darker skin tones;
Beiges
Creams
Light blues
Blacks and greys
Browns
Pastels
If you have a warmer/darker skin tone then avoid dull colours like navy and browns, yellow and green because you'll find they don't suit you as well, it may be different for some people so you can try it out but they aren't meant to suit your skin tone.
I hope that this post has been of some help to some people, or if not you've still liked it haha, speak to you soon, love Chloe xxx
