Look of the Month: November
Discover…November’s Look of the Month. Donna from the Sassy Chic (www.sassychicbtq.com) has this fabulous way of creating “looks” for brides. This month, we chose to feature another one of her real brides, Lindsay. The “side-comb” that she is wearing is all the rage these days. I love it that when a bride is standing at the altar saying her vows, there is more to look at than just the dress. A lovely comb placed strategically on the right side of your head will bring attention to where attention should be - your beautiful face! Lindsay is the perfect example - she definitely knows how to use her accessories to accentuate her gorgeous face. Also take note of her “dream catcher” reversible necklace and drop earrings both made of mother of pearl, sterling silver lace filigree and Swarovski Crystallized Elements. Indulge!
