2 Cents: Fashion Melt Down

Hey BB,
I really need your help to shed some light on my major drama.
It is my 18th birthday party next week and I am having a massive party. All of my family and friends will be coming. My girlfriends have already found their outfits for the night and they look so awesome in them. I really don't know where to look for the ultimate dress. I have been all around town, searching through different stores and they never seem to have the right shape, size or colour that I want. The clock is ticking, I am really starting to panic and my family is fed up with helping me!
What can I do?

Hey Renee,
Ok first thing is first- RELAX. Finding your favourite outfit for a special occasion like an 18th celebration should be a good thing. My first piece of advice would be to stop comparing your ideas and expectations of a fabulous dress to those of your friends. Secondly would be to formulate an idea as to what style you would like and feel most comfortable in- This will help you narrow down your choices within store. Thirdly, think positive. If you have the mentality you are not going to find anything, you will most probably be right.

Go for something trendy yet still chic as your photographs will be a constant reminder of your fashion choice. My pick for labels with to die for party outfits include; Mink Pink, Seduce, Camilla and Marc and even Sass n Bide. You may even want to try vintage shopping! Lastly; to save some time, try shopping over the internet on store websites to get a better idea of what they offer.

Good luck.
BB.
