BUT, RED AND PINK ARE JUST NOT MY COLORS! ST. VALENTINE’S DAY 1950’s COCKTAIL DRESS IN MOCHA
Nice to break out of the mold. This one is a favorite of mine, ANY time of year!

Yes, of course there are some people who can’t or won’t wear red or pink. What to do for this hearts & flowers holiday?
Well, beiges are always a smart alternative when you don’t want to go the black route (though I will be showing some of those again soon, too). This one is a beautiful, glowing mocha that flatters like crazy!
The fabric is unusual – some kind of rayon or blend with a nice drape and gorgeous sheen. Wide scoop necks and nipped waists are favorites.
Although not a set, I might combine this little lace-overlay jacket with it for some venues. A simple cashmere cardigan, beautiful shawl or a true vintage fur would all work nicely.
Of course, in the frigid, below zero night temperatures common in many places right now, a more substantial topper will be necessary. No worries, Agent Cupid, I’ve got you covered …

VERY INTENSE ST. VALENTINE’S DAY SCARLET SHEATH FROM THE 1950’S++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Can’t wait to put this on Stella some day, now that I’ve got a model who can wear it!

Now we’re getting REALLY serious – this velveteen sheath with a cowl neckline and fabulous shoulder tails is the ultimate chic. Dark red with a rayon lining – it’s one of a kind.
Imagine an entrance in THIS! Aside from the color, it’s not in-your-face, but would initiate and hold stares of wonder and disbelief.
You must be prepared to wear a dress like this, and it’s not for anyone without PRESENCE. Your date had better have some, too. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
