Tis the Season for Dresses!!!



Happy Holidays Everyone!  After weeks of buying gifts for our loved ones it is time to focus on ourselves and do the last minute shopping for the New Years dress! For those of you who have had your NYE outfit for weeks I'm impressed however if you are anything like me you need to quickly find something.  Here are a few of my favorite trends for this season:

1. Sequins
2. Single Shoulders
3. Details, details, details! 

Below are some of my favorites ranging anywhere from $20 to $200 and some tips on what to look for while your shopping these trends:

#1: SEQUIN WITH CAUTION:  Sequins can be tricky but fabulous when you know how to wear them.  Just because your dress is inexpensive doesn't mean you have to look like it.  Avoid this by doing the following:
1. Finding a piece that mixes sequins and non shiny fabric (i.e. cotton or jersey).
2. If the dress is all sequins choose a fit that isn't completely revealing (i.e. boxy mini w/ LS etc.)
3.NEVER over accessorize here.  Your dress will do the job!

F21 Sequin Front Tank Dress $30





















Victoria Secret Split Neck Sequin Dress $160














#2: SHOW SOME SHOULDER:  Off the shoulders can be fun but fit is key.  Make sure that the top of the dress is fitted but not squeezing against the skin.

#3: SPICE UP YOUR LIFE WITH DETAILS!:  Stand out from the rest of the crowd by wearing a dress with some details.  Whether it be feathers, studs, or zippers keep the accessories light since your dress will do it all.
