So this is what I wore Easter Sunday...just a couple weeks late! My computer broke and I couldn't upload pictures for a while so get ready to see lots of posts from me to make up for it. I love this Mint Julip dress so much and get compliments on it every time I wear it. It is a couple years old but still looks trendy cause of the slight bell sleeves.

My nude block heels are new and I LOVE them. Total mom approved! The block heel makes it easy and more stable to walk around carrying two toddlers and the low heel height is perfect for me. I might go buy them in black also.

Breezy Summer Boho Dress

This dress is seriously gorgeous in person, the pictures don't do all the beautiful color's justice. I am really loving Melissa McCarthy Seven7 line...everything I have tried on has been such a good fit and very well made. 

This tiered peasant dress was a tiny bit out of my comfort zone but I am so glad I decided to wear it.  It's very airy and I love the way it floats around me when I walk.  Definitely a perfect dress to wear to a summer event like a wedding!

One of the easiest ways to dress up a LBD for the holidays is just add red (or green) tights.  I love the lace sleeves of this dress, such a fun added detail.

Holiday Shimmer

Another holiday look up on the blog.

This metallic dress is both stylish and comfortable which is always a win-win in my book.  I love that it is a lightweight knit material yet still is body-skimming if that makes any sense at all.  Perfect amount of shimmer and sparkle for your next Christmas party.  

(If you are a Gwynnie Bee member this dress is very long...I had to belt it to give it some sort of shape. You can see the true length in the last picture.)

Casual Holiday Style...

If you follow this blog regularly, you know I dress pretty casual most of the time.  I have been seeing outfits involving lots of form fitting dresses, sparkles and lacey goodness all over the Internet lately and while I think they are beautiful- that is just not me.  

This is a casual "holiday outfit" I wore to work but I also would wear this to a dinner date, party or out with friends this time of year.  Bow heels, polka dot tights, a fancy necklace and a unique skirt tied up in one low-key package (thanks to my hoodie).

FBFF-Holiday Party Attire

It's that time of the week again....Katy of Modly Chic's Fashion Beauty Friend Friday and this week the questions are regarding holiday party attire.

1. Which holiday party are you looking forward to attending this year?

I am most looking forward to my friend's 2nd Annual Tacky Christmas Sweater Party and it is this Saturday!! Last year it was an absolute blast and this year it will be bigger and better. I will be sure to post pictures from this year.

2. What is your go-to holiday party outfit?

I actually already did a post about this which you can check out here and here.

3. Do you go dressed in something that would be impractical to wear at any other time of the year?

I try to glam myself up more during holiday season whether it be a dark red lip, sparkly earrings, rich jewel toned colors or sexier heels. New Year's Eve is definitely a time where you can get away with less clothing and people don't judge you.

4. If you are going to a house-party what gift will you bring to the host/hostess?

I have chosen to help with food instead of bring a gift to the house parties I have attended so far. Making a dessert or bringing an appetizer to snack on for the party goers can help a host/hostess tremendously and lift a small burden off of them. If I do not bring food to help out, a nice bottle of wine is always a great gift.

5. If you could buy only one trendy piece to update your holiday party wardrobe, what would you get this year?

I would purchase some type of embellished top like this one here or here. You can wear a one shoulder top with some shimmer to a Christmas party and also remix it with a blazer later on. Anything bejeweled screams holiday party attire to me!
