What to wear? – Keep it simple. Black yoga pants, close-fitting sparkly full top or wrap/tie top (with a half or full cotton camisole underneath if it’s sheer), and hip scarf. Add some jewelry, glam make-up, pretty hair, and you’re good to go! For a slightly dressier look, try a trumpet or mermaid skirt, easy to make or order.
