Tips for wearing purple dress

Confused about how to wear a tough color like purple? This rich tone looks great on everyone, mixing the best qualities of red and blue to flatter most skin tones.

Here are the few tips that show, how to wear it right:

- Pair with black or other dark neutral color like charcoal. A purple blouse under a dark suit looks great for work.

- Strike up purple by wearing with eye-popping bright like grass green or lime. A purple sweater with a dazzling green scarf radiates personality.

- Balance purple tones with purple eye shadow, just keep the shadow very sheer and light (too-dark purple eye shadow sometimes gives you a black eye look).

- Play purple off of similarly strong prints. A bright purple dress with zebra (black and white) print shoes is fun and funky.

You think you can, but really can’t wear to work...

Great look – one that has been a favorite of all for a long time – has been the Criss-Cross Banded Dress. Even though seemingly sexy, the wide straps, no cleavage and just above the knee-length made all to feel that maybe with a blazer over it I could pull it off at work.

Once I tried it on, however, I soon learned that that would certainly not be the case - in actuality it showed off way too much cleavage. Ladies, be warned! This is a definite NO NO when it comes to work. Never ever wear things at work that sexes you up! This means no to mini skirts, low cut tops, or anything that focuses your colleagues’ attention on your body and not on you!!
