The Perfect Dress for The Holidays!

I’ve had the worst luck lately when it comes to dresses. I just haven’t been really loving anything I’ve seen online until I saw this silky beauty! I first saw this dress a couple months ago when I thought I would be going to LA for a holiday dinner event but then had family plans come up. But I couldn’t stop thinking about this dress! I finally ordered it last week after deciding to plan a holiday outfit blog post and I am SO glad I finally bought it! I know the images here make it look like it’s a gold/yellow color but it’s more of a green color in person. It’s so soft and feels so expensive.

The best thing about this dress is all of the things you can wear it to! It would be great for thanksgiving, if you dress up for that sort of thing (I’m usually in my comfiest outfit so that I can eat my body weights worth of food for the day lol) but it would be so perfect for any sort of holiday party or event you have coming up. OR if you need a NYE dress, this is perfect! Especially since most of us dress up for NYE, short dresses are always SO cold, a maxi is ideal. Then this dress would easily be great for spring as well. Honestly, if this dress needed a spokesperson, I would do that job. Lol I just haven’t been this excited about a dress in awhile and I was so excited to share it with all of you. It really is the perfect holiday dress!

Dressing up for holiday parties and events has always been kind of tough for me. It’s cold this time of year, so wearing dresses and skirts isn’t my first choice. Although they can totally work with tights, a sweater or a coat, I just prefer a good, warm outfit that can still be dressy enough for going out.

Cord or velvet flares and boots instantly look more chic and put together. Paired with a statement earrings and you have the makings of a holiday look that’s still warm!

So if you’re struggling to find an outfit for the holidays this year, here is the perfect recipe for a holiday look! (and you probably already have some of these pieces in your closet already!)

  1. Cozy Sweater or Turtlenecks
  2. Velvet or Corduroy Flares
  3. Heeled Boot
  4. Statement Earrings

I think for new years, I will be wearing a dress and boots since I will be inside mostly. But I thought this would be a good outfit to share in case you need a holiday outfit idea. Let me know what you plan on wearing to your holiday parties this year!

Also, I just wanted to also share with you all that Amazon now has a Shopbop online boutique! So you can shop all of your favorites brands and styles on Amazon! Perfect way to use those gift cards you have saved up. Check it out here!

What I’m Wearing: Coat: MaxMara (Shop coats here), Sweater: MKT Studio, Earrings: Reliquia, Purse: Vintage Celine (Similar here and here), Pants: MKT Studio, Boots: Free People
