It is that time of the year where we need to start thinking about holiday parties and special events. Today’s society is very casual, jeans and a dressy blouse can be suitable for a night on the town. I think that is okay; but it is great to kick it up a notch and go with glitz and glamour.
The trend for evening dresses this season is sparkle and shine, bold metallics and bright colors. Off the shoulder dresses can be sexy and chic, but long-sleeve dresses can also be just as hot and over the top as well. Do you have a preference of having your arms shown or not? Confidence exudes when I put on a fancy dress and some heels. Makes me feel like dancing.
The picture of me below was taken before my hubby and I went to our church anniversary. This dress had a lace bodice and hem, so feminine and the gold shoes with the bow was perfect.
I wore a black shawl with my dress just in case I got cold.
I was looking for a dress that would cinch me in at the waist because that is the area that I like to accentuate. Every woman has a part of her body that she thinks looks great so work with that when you are looking for holiday clothing. Also, this dress is a great value to me because I can wear it more than one time. Granted, I would not wear this dress to work; but if I was invited to an event this would be a go-to dress in a heartbeat.
Tips to looking for that perfect dress
- Make sure you know your exact measurements. How long has it been since you measured yourself?
- Look for bold colors to make a bold statement
- Look for gold or silver metallics
- Look for a dress that you can wear again to another special event
- Look for something appropriate for the event you are going to
Have fun!

Yes, it’s that time to start thinking about the holidays. Maybe it came so fast because it has been hot in the summer. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
wow you are starting early! I haven’t even begun to think of the holidays. I’ll start in October I guess.
Actually I am not early. At Fashion week the designers are already showing Spring 2013 designs.
Glitz and glamour indeed! Your dresses and shoes are so beautiful! Thanks for the tips and enjoy the rest of your week.
