What to Wear to a Dinner Party

Hi ladies,

So it's the weekend and a great number of us may have something planned for the nights. It may be a night out in town with the crew or an intimate dinner with your partner, boyfriend or toaster or a Dinner party organised by someone who knows someone who knows you. Now you've scored the invitation and looking forward to having a great night. Are you unsure of what to wear?

Don't worry.  EasyLivingDose is here to give you a quick fix. The conventional outfit of choice is the Little Black Dress which is still  acceptable and applauded,  I might add. But in recent times, as widely advised by etiquette experts, the safest route to take is to know where you are going, time of day and what your hosts expects of you. In our Nigerian circles, where there are not many a themed parties,  the act of choosing the right outfit is always left to you to figure out.

Here are some pointers on what to wear to the right occasion.

EasyLivingDose Wardrobe Essentials - Girls

Hello ladies!

Okay so, we all probably have a ton of clothes in our closets yet never seem to have anything to wear! It's what I call the self-imposed woman's curse. If like me you are suffering or have suffered from that curse, it might be because we miss out on knowing what are staples in our wardrobe and invest more on trends. These staples are a building block for every stylish girl's fashion freedom.

For any female fashionista above the university or college age, there are basic clothing pieces and accessories that you must own which makes dressing up effortless and these pieces are considered timeless. They never go out of season! When you understand this simple fact, you will learn to invest on them more than the seasonal items that will come and go. There's nothing I hate more than seeing someone else in a dress I own. :(

Now being a frugal girl myself, I have built a solid wardrobe from making basic clothing items myself to buying from thrift stores and occasionally going the designer route. There's no shame in that! You can do it too.

Here, we give you the essential wardrobe pieces that must feature in every fashionable girl's wardrobe as highly recommended by EasyLivingDose. 

The Classic White Shirt

Forget that it is being used as a uniform for almost every church, school function.  The plain White T is a must-have.   We recommend getting a loose number which can function in multiple ways. Pair as loose number over a pair of skinny denim jeans, as a jacket over a cami for a laid back effect.

I unavoidably got caught in it this morning.  How and where?  Is what you might consider 'story for the Gods'. I did manage to get cleaned and curl up in bed for this post. (Tea in hand. Many thanks to Lilo's Jide for the scented restoring Echinacea & Raspberry flavored Twinning tea). It does live up to its name, I tell ya!
