For all you fashionistas out there and their “+1’s”, this week’s What to Wear Friday is especially for you.  Fashion shows are amazing chances to see art come to life on the runway, but the seats are usually filled with more trends than in the show.  The audience at a fashion show is the right place to find new fashion ideas and where you can also test the waters with your personal style. There are always photographers snapping pictures — not to mention, the many fashionistas that come together for shows.  So if you’re in fashion, this is not the function to fade into the background. This week we have your guide to being best dressed off the runway.

Standout Pieces: Sequin blazer, Blazer Jackets (any cut – i.E. Boyfriend), Dress or Minidress, Pantsuits

Make sure any trends worn are in season. ***Wearing a piece from the designer or the collection always gets brownie points & you can NEVER go wrong!  You may be photographed, especially if sitting up close.*** WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS – ALL BLACK EVERYTHING!!!
