Nobody likes a heartbreak, but this is one “Heartbreak” that I knowwwww most women will welcome with open arms!
Tres Beau by designer Kimmera Madison released “Heartbreak” on Valentine’s Day. But you can see that this is not a gown that is so Valentine-ish that it can only be worn on February 14th. It looks amazing on any other day of the year!
It comes in three colours; red, fuscia and off-white but I chose this fuscia one because it is not easy to find a nice ‘pink’ gown. I think fuscia is a colour that can look very stylish but since it’s a strong colour, if you go in the wrong direction, you can end up looking either too childish, too girly or ‘a bit too much’. If you look closely, the pink used in this gown is not a flat one tone of pink. It’s actually a mix of different tones and that’s what gives this gown a deeper and sophisticated look.
I used a multi-pale coloured jewelry set by Kunglers Extra just to break the pink a bit while adding some accent to the otherwise total fuscia look. I also wanted to avoid the look being too girly so I chose to go with a smokey makeup with a slight tint of pink for the eyes and a very pale pink for the lips.
Overall, I’m very happy with the result and I think I was able to make the exact look that I was going after. Now I’m happy and I can go back to sipping my favorite coffee!
