Cocktail Party Fashion
We had a cocktail party on the “Wendy Show” today and the entire audience showed off their favorite cocktail attire.
It’s that time of year again when the invitations to holiday cocktail parties start arriving.
Fashion expert Tai Beauchamp showed us the hottest cocktail dresses for the season.
Step out in style with these fierce cocktail looks!
Pomegranate Martini
Tip: Petite girls should tailor hemline to the proper height.
Just like taller girls, petite girls have difficulty with hemlines being either too short or too long. If you find a dress that fits you, don’t be afraid to get it tailored. Opaque tights that match your pumps will help elongate your legs.

The Dirty Martini
Tip: Pair a shoe with pop when wearing silver or gold sequins.
When you’re wearing a dress with silver or gold shine, or a monotone color, you don’t need a lot of accessories. Wear a nice pop color shoe instead of a traditional black pump.
Silver Sequin Tunic Dress Haute Hippie, $595, Ruby Montclair, NJ
Cole Haan Gunmetal Metallic Clutch, $198, colehaan.com
Casadei Red Suede Sandal, $890, shoecrush.com
Jolly Rancher Martini
Tip: Opt for an embellished accessory when choosing a simple dress.
Girls with wider hips usually have a narrower waist or a nice bustline, so accentuate your positive assets.

Roberta Freymann Necklace, $195, Ruby Montclair, NJ

Wendy, you need to also remember the men. You should bring in fashion experts for men’s clothing as well as female clothing. And have male studio audience members model just like you have the female audience members model.

What is the price of the green dress and where can I find it? The picture says Jolly Rancher but the description next to it talks about the purple Jersey dress. Is it the Mandalay dress under the Caramel Apple description? I’m confused.

Wendy, I love how you keep it real. You’re showing everyone how a Real Divas rock! I love your positive attitude and fabulous fashions. Keep them coming! Please do an exercise or health segment. I’d love to see how you maintain your curvy figure.

I would think Wendy would have shown some afforable stuff us everyday people can’t afford a dress for $800 and a clutch for $500 come on.
Friday November 6th, 2009 at 10:35 am
Wendy,
I love the Butter by Nadia Purple Jersey Dress but I can’t find it online anywhere. Please tell me where I can find that dress. Thanks.
