PROMenade!

This week's styling session was all about finding the "right" dress for prom. After many trial and error runs, this final dress selection is both flattering, and age appropriate for prom night. 

Thanks to model Adair for showcasing the trend for this week. Adair is 18 years old, and a High School student. She is super excited to attend her Sr. Prom, and dance the night away in her beautiful prom gown.

The trend for the 2013 spring prom season is all about bling. Whether all over, or subtle embellishment  details, girls wearing this trend will with out a doubt be the center of attention at their prom.
Adair is wearing a Sean Collection, sweet pea pink, semi- fitted, empire waist, floor length formal gown that is full with silver sequins embellishments. The neckline on this formal is a sweet heart deep V, with full key hole open back. This dress features a tulle overlay that drapes and shapes the body creating a lavishing full hour glass figure.



Until next week's post,

Introduction to L.Y.S Forecasting

Hello,
My name is Alyssa Jackson. I am a Fashion Stylist and Event planner based in Kansas City, Missouri. I will be blogging weekly on various fashion trends that can be easily adapted into any wardrobe.

“L.Y.S. Forecasting” was developed with the inspiration of modern trends presented with a twist. L.Y.S. stands for “Love Your Style”. With every look that is created, one’s personal style will always have the ability to shine through.

I am looking forward to blogging, and sharing my ideas/inspirations with the world. The sky is the limit when it comes to the endless possibilites when dealing with style.

Until my first style post,
-Alyssa J.
