Let’s Play Dress Up…
Anyone who knows me knows I love to dress up. When I have an occasion, I plan my outfit for weeks. Recently I had an engagement party to go to, and I made sure I had several choices depending on the mood I was in that day. I wound up in a green body hugging sheath with a huge statement necklace and some lovely d’orsay pumps. The ensemble was complete with a vintage wool boucle swing coat with silver fox neck and cuffs. Decadent is definitely the word I would use.
So, therein lies the reason for this post. New Year’s Eve is right around the corner…
For a cocktail dress I am of two decades, 40′s and 50′s. That is my thing. I was definitely born in the wrong time, because my ‘dress up’ style tends to lean toward those years. Here are a few of my favorites!
Nordstrom brings a Muse amethyst brocade dress in a 50′s silhouette that makes me smile…
La Grande Dame and Marina Rinaldi wows me with this amazing skirt and tank combo. It, of course, is the lust worthy outfit that we need to save our pennies for! I am not sure if I would rock the entire outfit in one shot, but I give credit to all the lovely ladies who will!
Bloomies and Tadashi take one of my favorite things, lace, and turns it into a beautiful sexy sheath dress. What a great little black dress to wear all year long! Another awesome option at Bloomies is an Eliza J sexy red number that screams siren!
On our trip over to Saks, we see a David Meister number that wows us! Navy is an awesome color that can be worn all year long! What a great price this dress is. I love Saks sales!
I nabbed this number at Lola’s Boutique. Donna Ricco is a wonderful designer. I have another dress by Donna Ricco and would so recommend her to others!
Jibri is a designer that is featured on some awesome plus size blogs! I have fallen madly in love with this dress. It’s the Bliss Spring Dress. I also love the Iggy with Cuff sleeves in Satin! Super obsessed with this Metallic Swing Coat.
So go dress up and get sexy and send us your pics! I want to see you!
