  • "There's something about your body
    I'm not in a rush, but girl I'm ready to marry you
    Yeah, right here in the restaurant
    And start in our honeymoon
    While you still got your dress on
    While you still got your dress on...yeah"
    Today's post is titled after the song Dress On - a bonus track on Justin Timberlake's new deluxe edition album, The 20/20 Experience. I must state, it's definitely a "3S Effect" (haven't used that term in a while) type of music album. The Timberlake & Timbaland combination is simply killer. The music is just super smooth and mature. And yes, I listen to it every time I get dressed to head out.
    The lyrics made me think of how much I love putting looks together for evening events. As much as I love putting together looks for everyday life for men and women, the special occasions is what I look forward to the most. That extra effort in class and sophistication is definitely worth the while. It's sort of a natural high, an aphrodisiac for the fashion savvy - for a moda oficionado like me. The style of clothing also reminded me of one of my 3 muses, Hayley. As I have mentioned in past posts, she is who I picture in gowns and on red carpets; to me she is elegance.
    The lyrics got me to think about two different looks. First, there is the signature evening dress at a formal evening event. The second is slightly toned down for a quick getaway dinner for two and to whatever follows...Wink, wink.

    I saw her at the metro texting away on her smartphone. Smirking here and there and giggling when a funny text would pop up. She would glance to her left and right discretely to see if anyone had noticed her so she wouldn't feel embarrassed.

    Back to the relaxation of a nice dress for the summer time. It came to me while I was listening to Dean Martin's "That's Amore". Even though there isn't too much of Napoli in this, the look is pretty fun, keeping within the lines of sophistication of course. I would love seeing any one of my beautiful friends taking on this outfit.

    There's a whole lot of retro going around. I'm taking about flashing back to the 50s. Chic young women with hairdos, make-up, and the entire outfit all 50s style. I'll try to steer a little off that path with today's look.
