What comes to mind when you see a beautiful evening gown? ...for me it's the Red Carpet and that in turn symbolizes glamor, elegance and style. Celebs seem to be able pull off evening gowns at a host of events red carpet events like award shows, premieres and parties. But when it comes to us regular folk...you think 'what occasion could I possibly wear an evening gown to?'
I asked a bunch of friends a couple of questions one of which was...when was the last time they wore floor length gown and I bet most common answers on the street would be the same - 'at my wedding' or 'prom night!'. Another question I asked was that 'If you didput on an beautiful evening gown how would you feel?' the answers included 'Like a celebrity', 'like a diva', 'glamorous!' and 'sophisticated' . So why is it that we shy away from long evening dresses?? One friend said they're for movies stars and come at movie star prices! I agree that evening gowns can be extremely expensive...but there are affordable ones out there too some can cost less that a simple cocktail dress and if they make you feel good then why not? are we afraid to stand out?
Now I'm not suggesting that you don a floor length gown to a neighbors barbecue party or just anywhere to feel good but rather use those special occasions like an anniversary dinner or a fancy dinner to add that glamor and star quotient to you life! So what if no one else at the party is wearing one...Be a Diva I say! Go Glam!
