The IT Factor

If you’re anything like me you probably watch your fair share of reality TV that now a days includes a ton of shows where people are competing to prove they have that little extra wow that sets them apart from others. Whether it’s a singing competition, a cooking throw down, or a DIY home makeover, everyone wants that indescribable “IT”.

When we’re dress shopping, we do the same thing. There are lots of pretty dresses out there but what is going to put it over the edge and give it that oh so coveted “it” that makes it perfect? As with everything else, you’ll know it when you find it but it will still be indescribable. So don’t force yourself into a color, fabric, or shape that you think is going to dazzle because that’s not what will put your dress above the rest.  It’s the dress that you can’t do justice with words and instead you need to try it on for your friends so they too can fall in love. That’s when you know you’ve struck fashion gold.

Here are some inspirational photos to get you thinking about what might wow on you!
