Spring Fashion Trends 2015

Spring can be one of the most confusing Seasons for your Wardrobe.

Are we dressing for bright and sunny 85...in South Georgia...or are we dressing for cloudy and windy 72...again in South Georgia?

The easiest way to handle this confusion, because my goodness, we have so much to worry about these days, is to layer!

Instead of layering your dresses with the typical legging, let's spice it up with the latest trend announced by Vogue, layering your spring flowy dresses over skinny jeans or skinny capris! Add a pair of heels or sandals, jewelry and you are set with a fabulous outfit.

Now, we need you to hold on to something. Take a seat. For those of you who know that fashion is a Merry Go Round, and everything that once was in style will again be back in style, this will not a shock! For those of you who are just now learning this, hold on tight! 

The latest Spring Trend is Culottes. These are not the jersey knit "Gauchos" of the early 2000s! Today, they are much more tailored, and are an absolute essential for your Spring wardrobe...they were seen all over the runways...our favorite being VaVa! 

When wearing these pants, it is all about proportion. There is such a movement happening to long and lean looks from the runways that the return of the pant is only in keeping with that thought. They are best worn with heels, to elongate the legs...because they are not the most forgiving look for a woman under 5'3". 

They are best paired with a slim fitting top tucked in, a slim tank, or a crop top. Add a blazer or jacket to make this look also more work appropriate. Save them for Winter, and add a tall boot underneath! 

You can always count on Michelle's Formal Wear in Adel, GA to have exactly what you need to stay on top of the trends instead of behind the trends. Stop by today and let us help you spruce up your Spring wardrobe!

Be Original!

White Doesn't Always Win!

Susie Q has won every single pageant from here to Alabama in 2014 in a white dress. Little Betty Sue has been her 1st Runner Up each time in a beautiful blue dress. Guess what Betty Sue thinks she needs now? She must have it! Right now! Betty Sue must have a WHITE DRESS! NOW! It is what is going to WIN!!!! 

No!! It is not the dress!!! 

It is the person wearing the dress. Betty Sue just needs to tweak a few things and I promise you, she will win in her beautiful blue dress because she is being herself! 

So throw out what you have always heard..."White Wins" and "Book me Blue"...wear the color that is best for YOU...even if that is a purple polka dot dress with a bright yellow bow. 

I know this Blog seems to follow the lines of pageantry, but it also applies to life. Sometimes we want to copy others because they are so successful at what they are doing and by golly, they make it look so easy! Everyone has a talent. Everyone has a special gift. God made us all completely DIFFERENT and DIFFERENT is good! Dig down deep and reach for those talents and gifts that set you apart from everyone else and use those to be successful. Don't take the easy way out and copy someone else. An original is always worth more than an imitiation. 

As Pinocchio says in Shrek the Musical "Let your Freak Flag Fly"! All of the things that make you special are the things that make you strong!

Say Yes to the Dress??

How do you REALLY know if this is THE dress?

• Everyone in the store loves it. 
• Michelle loves it. 
• It either fits or can be easily altered by the famous Lawana, our in-house seamstress. 
• It is the right color for your skin tone. 
• It is the right length with your shoes. What? You didn't bring your shoes? Always bring your shoes or ask for a pair of ours so we can make sure we get a complete look. 
• You love the earrings and bracelet that we have accessorized with it. 
• Your BFF, your Aunt, your Cousin, your Mom and your Neighbor have all taken pictures using their various iPhones with different angles. Every. Single. Angle. 
• You have sent the pictures, all of the pictures, to your other BFF, who couldn't be there, and she like LOVES it, also. 

But, unless the dress makes you want to do this in the middle of our street….

If it does, and you are ready to run out right now, after you have paid for the dress, the shoes, the earrings and the bracelet….honey, grab your Michelle's Formal Wear Pink Garment Bag…look both ways...and run for the street!!! We will be dancing and taking pictures behind you! 

Homecoming 2014…To Trend or Not to Trend?

Our first blog!

What to say?

What not to say?

Well, we decided on the Trends of Homecoming 2014!

The only Trend for 2014 was that there was not a Trend for 2014. Each girl buying the dress decided exactly her individualized style, and did not allow designers to bully her into a specific style, color, or design. From illusions, appliques, rhinestones, sequins, two-pieces, chiffon, tulle, and jersey…over 11,000 Homecoming Dresses have made their way through Michelle's Formal Wear this Homecoming Season. 

The one Trend for sure is that Mothers and Daughters still do not necessarily agree on the right dress! We are predicting this will be true for many years to come, as it has been true for the past twenty years. 

So, stand proud girls! You stood up to the designers! 

You selected your own dresses! 

GIRL POWER!

We cannot wait to dress every girl in the South and across America for Prom 2015. Be sure to visit our Instagram @michellesformalwear and our website at www.michellesformalwear.net to stay up to date on all new arrivals. 

Some of our favorite looks of the season! We hope you all had a great time! Thanks for tagging us on Instagram!
