Boredom Busters: Excuses to Play Dress Up

All dressed up and no place to go? Sometimes, summer can leave you lagging in the long hot hours with nothing to do. A little Tiza advice to spice up your nights and a perfect excuse to bust out that beautiful gown...

-Host a garden party. No reason necessary. A little shade and champagne over a nice mowed lawn. Delightful.

-Visit an art gallery opening. Patrons always get dolled up for exhibit openings. Check out what's going on in your downtown area.

-Plan a night on the town with the gals. Why watch Real World reruns in a T shirt all night while your dress collects closet cobwebs? Time to rally the girls for dinner, drinks and dancing.

-Give the best birthday bash for your buds. Make your friends with summer birthdays feel extra special this year. Plan a black and white cocktail party right in your living room or in a nifty backyard. Decorate the deck with white Christmas lights. If you squint, it just might look like a Manhattan skyline at dusk.

-Tell your guy to grab a tie. Tonight, you're going on a real date. Hey, the two of you can splurge every now and then.

Shave those legs and hang your bikini up to dry--it's time to play dress up and get creative!
