What I Wore: Party Perfect

It was holiday party time, and I wanted to be festive and holiday chic, but still be comfortable and be able to enjoy a fun evening without any outfit fuss. I love dressing up, but I do NOT love being uncomfortable and confined in my ensemble.

I knew I would be mingling, posing for lots of pics with my colleagues, and enjoying lots of yummy food and cocktails, so I wanted to be comfortable, but still look polished.

The party was just a few days before Christmas, so I took the opportunity to get into the holiday spirit with some of my favorite textures… lace, velour, faux fur, and a touch of gold sparkle!

Soooooo….

I have had my eye on this Luna Lace Dress from Kiyonna for several seasons now.  It seriously is the perfect party dress and awesome for every body type! I finally had a chance to try on the Luna a few weeks ago when I was part of the brands latest “Real Curves” photo shoot and I was gifted the dress after the shoot (pics from the shoot coming soon and I will be sure to share).

I styled the Luna with my favorite faux-fur trimmed velour jacket (which I have had since college and cannot remember where it was purchased), and my go-to black faux suede “Faith” Wedges from Avenue (they are wide width and not too high, so they are super comfy and go with everything).

 

I kept my bling minimal so these amazing Kendra Scott “Daphiney” Statement Earrings could shine (purchased from Nordstrom Rack, but also available here in different colors), and added a bit of Forever 21 bling on my pinky finger (purchased several seasons ago and pulled from my styling kit).

Such an amazingly fun night with some of my favorite people and the perfect start to an amazing holiday (we all scored iPad minis!!!)

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday spent among loved ones, and filled with warmth, laughter, good healthy, happiness and prosperity!

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
