Posted byYou’ve seen the look and always wondered where to begin. While it isn’t rocket science, it does help to know what you’re looking for if you want to be Dressing Like a Diva.
5. The Accessories: Adding a “bit of bling” to your ensemble goes a long way in your quest for Divahood. Over-doing it is something that the traditional Diva’s would be ridiculed for in the press. “Maybe she’s trying to flag down the mother ship and get back to her planet of origin” would be a likely comment from the entertainment media, so our respected Diva’s have professional help when it comes to this area. Yes, many of them hire someone specifically for this purpose. Unless you have a few thousand dollars hanging around and nothing else to do with it, you’re on your own. Here’s a bit of advice.
· While “simple” sells, it doesn’t exactly put you into the status of Divaness. Think Scarlett Johansson on the Red Carpet when you think “Un-Diva” and Britney Spears, Diana Ross and/or Mariah Carey on it when you think of “Diva”. No matter if you can’t stand a melodic note that pours out of Mariah’s mouth, you have to admit that “all eyes are on her” when she walks into a room.
· If you’re going for colossal, rhinestone earrings, keep the necklace of choice in good taste. The same goes for the opposite. If you have a chain of bling that you just need to drape around your neck, the earrings shouldn’t be “over the top”, especially if your hair is short or in an up-do. Longer hair that covers earrings gives a little extra leeway on wearing diamond-studded dangles or huge hoops.
· Shoes are considered by many to be more than something that keeps your feet enclosed and safe from stepping on glass and other unmentionables. The perfect pair of shoes can be the final accessory to tying together your outfit of choice. Think about that when picking out your bling.
