.. ... ....... @DirtyLaceDesign ... ...... -Founder of DirtyLace Designs, Artist and Designer- .... .......... .. Think of me as your bipolar friend. One day I'll show up in leather pants with a grungy oversized shirt and go on and on about modern design while taking a long island to the head. The next day I'll be sipping on wine in a feminine lace dress paired with brightly colored heels talking about the shortage of trees and beautiful art. And somewhere in between all that is a lot of sarcasm. This blog embodies my DirtyLace personality. Filled with personal thoughts, ideas, and inspirations that are drawn from fashion, art and design.

DIRTYLACE STYLING TIPS: DATE NIGHT
Valentine’s Day is a week away and hopefully you and your hottie have been keeping busy planning out ways to create your own romantic night. But If it’s a new love and you’re not having a DIY Valentine’s day, you may be fussing over what to wear to your date with your new valentine.
What you wear to a first, or even third date, can say a lot about you. And anybody who says they don’t care is lying. Think about it… If it’s a first date and you’re wearing overly revealing club clothes to a fancy dinner date, it definitely doesn’t translate into “I am sensible, intelligent and want you to take me seriously.” Sorry but it’s true. It does not make you superficial whatsoever to give it some thought. The truth is that human beings are visual creatures, first and foremost. It’s not to say that you can’t wear sexy clothes or it’ll suddenly translate into you being “easy,” but you just have to be mindful of it and if it’s the right amount of sexiness for the right occasion.
Some things are just appropriate for certain situations. You don’t bring skiing boots to a caribbean vacation just how you don’t wear last week’s clubbing clothes to a business presentation.
Now that we got the obvious out of the way, sometimes we still wonder what to wear. The DirtyLace girl isn’t overly sweet neither is she overly sexy. Date night outfits take the same formula.
The key is to just balance your look out.
THE SWEET LOOK :
To balance the femininity of a flowy chiffon dress, get it in an unexpected color (such as jelly bean green) and pair it with ultra high heels. Since the green steals the show, get a a clutch in a neutral color and of a similar fabric. The Cleopatra Box Ring, named after Egypt’s most famously alluring Queen, might make him wonder if you’re really all that sweet.

THE SASSY LOOK :
A bodyconsicous dress that hugs all of your curves is always sexy. A form fitting turtle neck dress is still sexy, but the turtle neck shows off your sex appeal but in a more tamed way. Show your wild side with leopard print ankle boots and a leather clutch. Let him know you’re not afraid to speak your mind with a statement necklace.
