DATE NIGHT: WHAT TO WEAR?

by Maria Vasiliadis

Dating is hard. Putting aside nerves, wondering what he thinks, and figuring out what you should/should not say all cause enough stress. But deciding what to wear on a date can be just as difficult, if not more difficult, than having a great date altogether. An outfit can make or break the entire direction of the rendezvous. And while it’s true that what you wear is your first chance to make a great impression, that's not the main reason the outfit can make or break the date. What you wear and how you feel about your appearance are what can greatly affect the encounter. After all, when you’re comfortable and confident, your personality will have it’s time to shine. The rest is up to him. Continue reading →

Yesterday we wrote about some of our favorite prom dresses under $100 for those girls still searching for their perfect prom look. But, we know many girls already had their prom and are thinking of their next dressy attire event... graduation! So, to help make sure you're ready for your big graduation day, we picked out our favorite graduation dresses under $100. You'll be graduating in style, from your look to your pockets with these dresses! Check them out below.

Peekaboo A Line Dress

White is usually the color of choice when it comes to graduation dresses, and we certainly love Peekaboo A Line Dress style 7263 to get that classic white grad dress look. It's a cute short dress with an open detail in the front. It's perfect not only for graduation, but for Sweet 16s and any other spring or summer parties you might be attending. It's a look that can easily be dressed up or down, so you'll find yourself wearing this one over and over again well past your grad day. This dress makes it under the $100 mark at only $88.

Cold Shoulder Lace Dress

For a more casual look, we love Cold Shoulder Lace Dress style KD7204. This short dress has a cold shoulder cutout and a lace embroidered layer design with crotchet detail at the hemline. You can easily take this dress from day to night with a simple swap of accessories and makeup. Best yet: it's a cool $58.

Elegant Lace Halter Cocktail Dress

This Elegant Lace Cocktail Dress style LD1687 is such a classic, elegant look, yet still so sexy. Whether you're attending graduation, a cocktail party, homecoming, or a holiday or NYE party, this dress is the perfect style. This beautiful short dress features a halter neckline, sheer side cut outs and a scalloped lace hemline.

Lace Please Casual Short Dress

Be cool and casual in the Lace Please Casual Short Dress style 38881281. This is a short chiffon dress with a frayed lace inset, banded waistline, and side zipper. It's a great dress for much more than graduation - the coral color makes it perfect to rock all spring and summer long. This dress used to be $44, but is now on sale for only $17.60, so you really can't go wrong with this choice!

We hope you love the dresses that we picked out, but there are plenty more graduation dresses under $100 on RissyRoos.com if you want to see more. There's also an entire Graduation Dresses section with many more choices. A huge congrats to the 2015 graduating class out there, from high school to college!

The holidays are all about dressing up and going from party to party - an activity that every fashionista loves! But, sometimes it can be difficult to rock a new look for every single party, so mixing and matching is an essential part of any girl's holiday party wardrobe.

A couple of weeks ago we showed you 4 LBDs under $100 that can easily be mixed and matched with different accessories to wear both now and later, from day to night. This week, we're showing you one of our favorite accessories to help attending all of your holiday parties that much easier: our Sequin Crop Top T16758!

Sequin Crop Top T16758 is a stunning compliment to any party look. We especially love this crop top for the holidays because of its stand-out sparkly sequins, of course! It's a perfect option to add a little sparkle to any holiday outfit, whether the event's during the day or at night, with family or with friends. So, the photo above shows you how you can easily wear this look both now and later! You can rock it with jeans and a black tank top for a toned-down look for during the day at a family get-together or casual party. Then, step it up a notch for a nighttime holiday party by wearing it over a little black dress or with a cute skirt. In the photo above, the sequin crop top is paired with baby-doll flare dress D16988 and Bow by Jonathan Kayne open toe shoes.

If you love the idea of showing off some skin, but are afraid of showing off too much, this crop top is a great way to get the best of both worlds. Plus, if you decide you want to show off those shoulders and back as the night progresses, you can easily take the crop top on and off as you feel comfortable! This look is definitely all about comfort AND style, so rock it proudly!

1. Vegan Stretch Leather Jacket

With the cold weather setting in, could there be a better present than a stand-out chic jacket? We sure can't think of one (other than maybe a knockout holiday party dress!) This is a fitted and sexy vegan leather jacket with multiple zippers and stretch panels. We love it because it can work in 2 different ways - as a stand-alone jacket for the warmer days (like in the spring or fall), or just rock it as an extra layer with your warmer jacket on top for those colder winter days. And, for only $86, it couldn't be a more affordable jacket.

2. Animal Print Purse

We LOVE animal print at Rissy Roo's! And, what better way to rock it than in a purse? This is a fully lined animal print envelope clutch with a magnetic flap, slip compartment and removable strap. It's a purse that can easily be dressed up or down, depending on what you pair it with. So, we're sure the lucky gal who gets this as a gift will find many uses for it! And, for only $32, you can even stuff it with smaller gifts for an extra surprise, like lip gloss or a key chain.

Crop tops are so on-trend this year, and this is sequin wave line crop top is totally classy and versatile! It's a stunning compliment to any girl's next party look. It can easily be worn over a dress, with a party skirt, or even jeans (like shown above). This crop top is $66, making it an easy choice for an added layer to any outfit.

December is officially here, and that means there are plenty of holiday parties to come, from office parties to New Year's Eve! Holiday parties are always super fun, especially because it means dresses are so essential to a perfect holiday wardrobe. While we love the idea of rocking sparkly silver, gold, red, green, and blue dresses for the holidays, there's one look that can't be forgotten because of its simplicity and dependability for any event you may be attending over the next month: little black dresses! So, to help you find a perfect LBD to take you from party to party, here are four of our favorite looks..all under $100!

For a classic and super classy look go with jeweled neck party dress Gracia D15016. The cap sleeves and jeweled neckline makes this an easy dress to take you from day to night. If you want to get away from the classic LBD, but still wear a color appropriate for the holidays, Continue reading →

Thanksgiving is almost here, and that means it's time for family get-togethers and late night parties with friends. So, to make sure you're ready in a perfect outfit, we picked out some of our favorite dresses that will effortlessly take you from a more traditional family event, to a night out with friends. Check out our Thanksgiving dress up ideas below!

You can never go wrong with a little black dress at any event, and this is one LBD that we absolutely love! Style D15016 is a jeweled neck cap sleeved party dress that's such a versatile pick. The cap sleeves make it so easy to wear to a family party, while the dress is just so cute and chick that it can take you anywhere in style! This is a great dress to wear throughout the Holiday season - from a Thanksgiving get-together, to an office holiday party, or even to a New Year's Eve party! For a more stand-out color, this dress also comes in red.
For another cap sleeves look that's all about versatility, go with Scala 48350. This hot little cocktail dress clings closely to curves to produce a look that is second to none. Tiny, twinkling accents wend their way around the dress for a softly glitzy look. It's all topped off by a scooped neckline and short sleeves. We just recommend throwing a cardigan over the dress for your family Thanksgiving dinner, which you can take off when it's time to go out with friends at night! Best yet, this dress is also so perfect for a New Year's Eve party.

For a more traditional look for Thanksgiving, go with Mac Duggal style 1654. It's a stunningly embellished dress with fantastic beading along the v-neckline. From small beads to large stones and hanging beading, this dress offers so much variety, style, and elegance. A gorgeous vine pattern of beaded embellishments flows throughout the dress and on the wide open, sheer sleeves. The charcoal color and leave pattern of this dress reminds us so much of a fall November night!

Halloween is so close, and we're getting excited to dress up as our favorite characters on the 31st! It's always difficult to choose and put together your costume, but there's one great way to look super chic for Halloween: little black dresses!

Little black dresses are so versatile, and always chic, so we love the idea of pairing an LBD with your favorite Halloween accessories for a glamorously ghoulish look. Two dresses that we particularly love are shown above: Night Moves style 6658 and Jeweled Pencil Dress style 78415.

We love Night Moves 6685 to rock a sexy glam rock vampire look. Sexy and sophisticated, this dress features a sheer illusion sleeve detail accented with crystals. The long sleeves makes it perfect for a cold fall Halloween night, and allows it to easily transition into winter for a Holiday Party dress (we especially love this look for New Year's Eve)! For Halloween, just pair it with vampire teeth, dark red lipstick, dark red or purple eyes, and glamorous red jewelry. We also love the idea of pairing it with a leather jacket to complete that glam rock look.

In the above outfit, we paired the LBD with Helen's Heart style JE-4601-10 red earrings, Rihanna by Night Moves platform high heels, and Magid E7496 beads and rhinestones satin box clutch. All items that you can easily rock again for Homecoming, Prom, or the Holidays!

Jeweled Pencil Dress style 78415 is perfect to rock a witch look for Halloween! This jeweled neck dress features body defining style lines, open sides, and an invisible back zipper. For Halloween, pair it with a chic witch hat, a witch's broom, and funky jewelry. for an extra witchy look, pair it with striped stockings - we love either orange and black or purple and black striped stockings for that classic witch look.

To finish off this look, we paired the dress with Magid E7486 jeweled box clutch, Hyacinth Crystal Chandelier Earrings JF103E32G3, and Baylee by Sizzle sexy beaded pumps.

Of course, a little black dress is so easy to dress up in any way, so whether a classic Halloween look like a vampire or a witch that we showed above...or something a little less scary like a 1920s flapper girl or cute black cat...you'll be able to rock a totally haute Halloween look, and then take that dress right into the Holidays and New Year!
