1) Show skin – selectively.

I love the flirty, boho look of this one-shouldered top!

Showing skin is a surefire way to capture any man’s attention, but you want to make sure that the wide-eyed, mouth-agape face he’s got on when he first lays eyes on you means, “Oh-My-God-I’m-On-A-Date-With-a-Goddess!” and not because your outfit lacks subtlety (and coverage!).  Remember: Less is more! The key is to only expose ONLY one part of your body at a time: legs, shoulders, cleavage or back – never all at once. The one-shouldered look is here to stay for a second summer, and with the right bra, provides the perfect way to strut your stuff (and some bare skin!) elegantly. The Triumph Full Fashion Diamond Jacquard Bra is convertible, meaning you can go strapless or, for more support, switch up the straps for one-shouldered support!

2) Go bold in brights!

A dress as bright as this eye-catching green number is guaranteed not to be forgotten.

Color is another way to make a real statement. When a woman wears a bold color it shows that she is daring, confident and strong – now that’s a memorable impression! Spring is also a great time to experiment with color because it is everywhere! Pinks, greens, blues, yellows and oranges are filling the racks of all the stores right now, so you have plenty of options!  (Click here to read one of my previous blogs to find the most flattering colors for your skin tone.) This bright green, cotton dress is a perfect look of casual femininity that looks polished without trying too hard. If you do choose a minidress or skirt, however, be sure to wear full-bottomed seamless panties! That way, if by super-embarrassing chance you trip or your garment rides up, you will avoid totally flashing the world and (most importantly!) your date. The Naturana Lingerie Young Design Brief shown here is a great panty that guarantees coverage and comes in a pretty deep blue color!

It’s hard for most anyone (other than models, of course) to look classy when wearing an ultra-short dress or skirt.  Thankfully, the rest of us can be satisfied with knee-length dresses and skirts that reveal just a flattering peek of our thighs!  If your outfit is a bit sheer and you don’t want to reveal that much skin, try wearing something else underneath.  Arianne’s Kelly collection has a 19″ half-slip with a lacy hem on the bottom for skirts, and a basic, opaque 35″ full slip for dresses, with adjustable spaghetti straps.

Plus, try wearing some invisible underwear to eliminate any panty lines!  Take a look at Elita’s aptly-named Invisible collection.  This way, nothing but your beauty will detract from your sexy outfit!
