All That Glitters

What I'm wearing:
J.Crew Long Boyfriend Blazer in Black
Ann Taylor LOFT Sequin Sparkle Tank in Nude Pink (available in Grey online)
Madewell '37s skinny jeans
Miu Miu Naplak Patch Pumps in Nudo

Everyone needs some sparkle in their life. What better time than Friday night? LOVE this sequin tank. It makes me feel all fancy. =) I felt like the jeans dressed down the sequins a bit, and decided against any extraneous jewelry, I'm all shiny anyway.

My hair is not up! I know, crazy times. I've just been too lazy to do much with it, I feel like when I wear it down I need to really work on it, or I just look kind of messy. Which is why I usually go for the bun or ponytail. But I had some extra time to get ready this morning so I decided I should try to look like a contributing member of society.

Oh gosh I love these Miu Mius so much! (Even though I need to use Foot Petals with them!) I waited until they went on sale and stalked BergdorfGoodman.com until they popped up in my size.

TGIF and I hope everyone has a lovely weekend!! I am looking forward to the Eastport Parade of Lights tomorrow night! (Boats decorate with lights and other holiday fun.) I have never been and am really excited about it.

Hope everyone is staying warm! It is FREEZING here! I was shivering in this, I will probably add a cashmere scarf to keep me a bit cozier. I really need to find somewhere else to take OOTDs, not sure how long I can keep this up!

Fanciful Party Frocks!

It's that time of year! Full of holiday get-togethers, office parties, and Christmas celebrations. I took advantage of anthropologie's sale and free shipping to try out a few dresses! I love any excuse to wear a fancy dress, which usually makes me extremely overdressed wherever I go. I also hoard dresses as if they are going to go out of style!! Here are some in real life photos that I braved the chilly air to take, since my indoor photos always suck. I've taken photos with just the dresses, and then how I would loosely style them. I probably would pair them all with tights and jewelry as well.

Flight of Swans Dress

I think this is my favorite out of them all! It fits wonderfully, and of course I adore the pockets. I hate birds, but I don't mind this swan motif at all.

I paired this dress with a tuxedo-style blazer. I love this combination because it reminds me of the look you would have if you were cold and had to borrow your date's blazer!

Cascading Foliage Dress

Love the colors of this dress. Unfortunately the silk is so thin and floaty that I don't think it's weather appropriate for the current season. I will save this in my closet for warmer months!

Paired with a lighweight Ann Taylor LOFT cardigan. Perfect for a garden party.

Golden Lights Dress

Even though I usually don't go for strapless dresses, I love the golden shimmer on this dress and the tiered layers. I would probably never wear this on it's own, but with a cardigan or jacket of some sort over it.

Paired with a Target Mossimo knit cardigan that hangs open a bit away from the front. I feel like another alternative would be a more flowy drape cardigan, belted, worn with tights and black boots, to dress it down a bit.

Thanks for looking! I do think my go-to dress will be the Flight of Swans dress. I love all the details of this great dress.
