Short Dresses: July 2009 Archives
Two weddings in July, next weekend's black tie soiree--invitations are reaching record numbers. So will the heat this summer. Take these tips to stay cool and comfy and still look hot in an easily elegant, beautifully breezy dress from Tiza's smoking new summer line. |

First, ditch the hosiery. Duh. Avoid thick, chunky jewelry that weighs you down. Clear, simple stones and lightweight, translucent pieces are all the rage this season. Let your dress take the stage and stick with one fancy bracelet or ring. |
| Go light on makeup. Think sheer colors and glosses. Let your dress radiate--not the blush on your face. Sizzling heat is not excuse to show cleavage or belly. Show some skin--but in the right places. Go backless or bare a little more leg in a short cocktail dress. |

Remember dark colors soak up heat. Think twice before wearing all black if an event is outside. If you want to wear a bold color, feel the flutter in weightless silk chiffon or less fabric. But don't wear white to a wedding. Your turn will come. |
|
Comfort is key. When the temperature rises, a tight strap or a size too small is the last thing a girl wants to worry about. Bottom line: wear what makes you feel hot without the sweat. |
Precious metals look lovely wrapped around your finger. But this season, we're draping your whole body in gold, silver and bronze. Hey, we know you're worth a million. Look like it in one of these Jovani cocktail dresses.. |

Subtlety can be quite alluring. A hint of a violet bronze gives this neutral gown a gold star. |
| Whoever says a rainbow has to have pink obviously never cashed in on this fabulous mini. |
 |
 |
From plain black drab, to empirical chic with just a touch of gold lattice at the bust and straps. Are you King Midas' daughter? |
You'll make them shiver in this gorgeous one-strap that rains silver embellishments. No need for bling. You're reflecting glamour already.
Try something new this season. Make it metallic. Shop on! |
