Holiday Parties: Time for Glitz & Glam!

You’ve attended Holiday parties every year. Maybe you’ve done the expected black, red, or green dress with a flashy statement necklace. Maybe you’ve gone sparkly with some glittered heels. Maybe you made Santa all hot and bothered with your bold red lip. But your sparkle shouldn’t be limited to your nail polish. My challenge to you for this year’s Holiday parties: Don’t limit your statement to your accessories. Whether its Christmas or New Year’s Eve…be a full-bodied, fabulous, statement in one perfect dress. What I mean is, find the perfect dress that makes you feel like a million bucks! Why not dare to be different and be the star of the show? What better way to start a New Year’s resolution than to be in a gold sequined frock when the clock strikes 12!

2014 will be your year…

This dress is fabulous and flattering for any figure. Fabuletiquette: “Tighter is not always better.”  Yes, we all want to accent our figures, but go for the better fit, not the smaller size. At $395, its a little pricey for a dress you may only be able to wear a few times. If you are not wanting to splurge for a one-time-wear, check out RentTheRunway.com and this dress can be yours on your big night for a rental fee of only $75.

Fabuletiquette: There’s a reason why the phrase goes, “_____ is the new black.” It is classic. Timeless. NYE is a great night to take the LBD to the next level with some sparkle! Hoping to smolder at your shindig? Really go dark with a deep smokey eye and a leather jacket.
