The Ling Game Fashion- Season 1 Episode 2

The Father Daughter Dance has arrived and the girls have all taken full advantage of this event to dress up in their favorite cocktail dresses and dancing shoes! They all look absolutely amazing in their unique and individual dresses, but look even more jaw-dropping collectively as a group because of all the diversity! We can’t pick our favorite in this bunch, but we can give you some tips on how you too can look your absolute best!

Although we love getting dolled up for an exciting night out, we know picking out the perfect dress can definitely be a tedious task! With more and more designers and styles out there, deciding on which dress to choose comes down to what suits your body type best and what is the most appropriate style for that event. As far as body types go, we definitely recommend playing up your assets! For a curvier figure and larger chest, we recommend trying a one-shoulder asymmetrical cut that will break up your proportions and look extremely flattering. For girls with a more boyish figure and smaller chest, we love finding dresses with more volume and details in both the bottom and the top of the dress to play up their shape a bit. No matter what size or shape you are, you should definitely make sure that the dress is cinched a bit in the waist to give you a nice hourglass shape.

Color is also a big thing to keep in mind. We recommend sticking to simple fabrics that have more texture, such as sequin or beading, rather than choosing a really busy and colorful print. The key is to keep things looking interesting, but simple by having very subtle but eye-catching details on your dress. Revealing too much skin is never a good thing, so if your opting for an open back dress make sure the length is a bit longer and the front is more conservative. Always remember that your dress should never be shorter than where your fingertips fall when your arms are down, so make sure your dress passes this test before you leave the house! Check our tips below on where you can find a gorgeous cocktail dress that suits your own personal style!

The Lying Game: Episode 2 Photos & Plot

Ted Mercer (Emma’s new dad while she’s pretending to be Sutton) invites Emma to the annual father-daughter dance at the Country Club, and Emma is terrified because she possesses no ballroom dancing skills whatsoever – unlike Sutton. Ethan works at the club and gives Emma dance lessons in order to help prepare her for the big night. Meanwhile they attempt to figure out where Sutton disappeared to in LA and also who broke into her bedroom and stole her laptop.

Alex Rybak, Mads’ father and Sutton’s god father, grills Emma to see if she’s had any contact with his son, Thayer (Mads’ older brother), who recently moved to LA. Speaking of brothers, Ethan’s older brother (the cop) catches Ethan using his work computer at the police station to see if anyone matching Sutton’s description has been arrested or admitted to a hospital in LA. Dan warns Ethan to stay away from Sutton, that she is nothing but trouble.

After several days of dance lessons, dress shopping, and learning how to impersonate Sutton, the big day is finally upon Emma, who is extremely nervous that everyone will figure out she is a fraud when they realize she can’t dance. But Emma is able to pull it off without too many missteps.

Later, Sutton finally contacts Emma and Ethan. She tells them that the trail in LA has run a little cold, but that she’ll call them shortly once she has new info regarding the whereabouts of their biological mother.

The first day of school is by far the most impressionable day of the school year, so make sure you put your most fashionable foot forward!

She definitely dressed to impress and was ready to strut her fabulous outfit down the hallways the second she stepped foot on campus! This Fall, fashion is all about ladylike pieces similar to Sutton’s tweed jacket! The richness of the fabric and the exquisite tailored cut make this jacket the perfect topping to any outfit! Take a cue from Coco Channel and pair a tweed jacket over anything from wide leg trousers to a mini for a luxe, chic look.
And although her jacket was amazing, let’s not forget those boots she had on! Talk about making a bold statement! Knee high and over-the-knee boots are your key ingredients to making it through the cold season in fashion! We love boots in bold colors similar to Sutton’s and we are also obsessed with boots with great textures such as crocodile. The options are endless when it comes to boots this season! We suggest you spend your dollars wisely and invest in the perfect pair of quality boots that will last you through the season and match all of your outfits.
