Salsa Dancing: Bold and Beautiful

Salsa dancing is a very popular type of dancing, originating from Spain. It goes along with spicy, traditional music that has you dancing within seconds. Here, I'll put an audio player with a few samples:
Salsa dancing style is very dramatic. The norm for coloring seems to be red and black, which is no surprise, as these two colors seem to be very popular for Spain. :) To get this formal, intoxicating look:
~ wear a red and/or black dress that is easy to dance in. Professional dancers' dresses tend to be swing-y and ruffled, and somewhat poofy. :P
~ wear your hair in loose ringlets or in a tight bun. If your hair is short, just brush it and go, or even curl the ends a little bit.
~ add a flower clip to your hair. Bonus points if it's a Spanish rose! :)
~ apply your makeup very dramatically. Try making your eyeshadow smoky and alluring, and maybe try a deep red color for your lips.
~ try to find Spanish jewelry.
SHOUT OUT: Inspired by Monika's latest addment! :) I thought I'd do a dancingstyle, too.

Beautiful Ballerina

Ballet is probably one of the world's most garceful sports. It not only increases your confidence, but it strengthens you, especially your legs. Ballet offers a wide range of creativity in terms of fashion, from your dress to your shoes to your jewelry, hair, and makeup, etc. See what you can accomplish. All you need is:
~ A dress of YOUR choice (or you can make a dress, if you're really up for the challenge)
~ Ballet shoes of YOUR choice (again)
~ Makeup (your choice)
~ Hairstyle (your choice-you don't have to do the classic bun like everyone else, be creative)
~ Jewelry (your choice)
~ Tights (optional)
~ A dress of YOUR choice (or you can make a dress, if you're really up for the challenge)
~ Ballet shoes of YOUR choice (again)
~ Makeup (your choice)
~ Hairstyle (your choice-you don't have to do the classic bun like everyone else, be creative)
~ Jewelry (your choice)

Dance in Style
By: Monika
Dancing is an everyday sport, right? So what better way to express your funky ways than dancing, especially since dancing in an open space with couple of friends will pull in some viewers (especially in Quincy Market in Boston: It's crazy there, but fun!) They not only will want to see your dance skills, but will be surprised by your fashion smarts, too.
To the Rink by Kira
This is a delicate, beautiful look that ice skaters flaunt when performing. Even people who don't skate can get this look. You want to wear soft colors, like white, icy blue, light pink, and silver. You'll also want to wear your hair up in a slightly messy bun. Short, flowing dresses are essential, as well as winter-related pieces too.
Softball Style by Kira
I made this because my friend, Amanda, plays softball, and she wanted me to make an outfit based on her current favorite sport. So I made her wish come true. I hope she likes it, but I really don't know much about softball uniforms, so I just googled/searched it. This is what I found, and I put some of my favorite, eye-catching pieces into this creation. Apparently, green is a softball color. I based my outfit on the bright neon green color, which I think is pretty cool.
Tennis Touch
by: Monika
I made Tennis Touch because I used to play tennis and it was actually really fun. Yeah, I know, there's nothing special to it, just another sporty style, but hey, there are people who don't like to dress up all the time, and I'm one of those people. I thought of this as just another simple getup, comfortable... So, hope you like it! :)
