So I'm on the Holiday Party Planning committee for this year's company party. And of course, being an organizer and party planner, I want everything to be perfect.
Aside from making sure the party doesn't resemble a frat boy's 21st birthday (no offense to fraternities or 21 year olds) I want to make sure I look perfect as well. haha
I found this dress on Torrid.com and while I loved it I just wasn't sure if I could pull it off....but after some "fashion consultation" with a few friends I went for it!
The party is happening at a local Wine Bar and Lounge - so nothing fancy (last year it was held at a ballroom) but I still thought I needed something special. After I don't get much chance to put a dress and get dolled up.
Besides every woman needs a little black dress right?
So it finally arrived and I couldn't wait to try it on (despite not having the proper push-me-pull-you-panties) and here it is (just ignore the look on my face - the flash startled me).
I'm happy with the purchase and can't wait to wear it to the Holiday Party.
Now to just accessorize. I figured a killer pair of shoes and some fantastic earrings should be enough. Although if I can find a new bling-ring I'll be set.
The other day while Christmas shopping I stumbled on these earrings and of course had to buy them. They'll go great with the dress I think.
$6.80 at Forever XXI!
SOLD!
Okay. Shoes time. I haven't really settled on what I want them to look like. I had come across a pair of shoes like this a while back (these are not the exact ones because of course now I can't find them).
While they are super fun and I'll probably buy them "just because" I don't think they fit with what I'm looking for to wear at the Holiday Party.
Friday I went to a Payless Shoes and fell in love with these.
Holy Smokes! I'm in love. They also had them in black....can't I buy both? The red is sooo sexy but the black would go better with the dress.
Sadly I left without any of them but the woman did say that another shipment of shoes would be arriving Monday. I think I'll have to be going after work and see what they've got in. But my gut says to just get these while I can.
Soooo cute!!
If you have thoughts, suggestions of links to some killer accessories send them my way!
go with red! you have black earrings and black dress, a little pop of color with the shoes would be AMAZING!
