It’s the weekend, it’s the weekend – the weekend is finally here! YaYy! Welcome to the first fashion Friday of the holiday season and I am so excited for all of the red, green, sparkle, and velvet. As I mentioned on Instagram over the course of an eight day period I have four holiday parties – some for my company and some for other companies and I am sure they are all going to be great. What to wear to a holiday party is particular tricky as many people co me from the office and I work in a place where jeans and sneakers are acceptable but last night I wore this and it seemed to go over quite well.
However, if I was going to take it up a notch this shimmery velvet dress hits all the right notes in a sexy yet festive way with ruffle cap sleeves and the braided tie at the waist. I am not sure if you can tell but it is actually a waist dress and I must tell you, I have a very, very hard time keeping it closed all the way.
Dress | MISA Carolina Dress in Green Velvet
Lipstick | Giorgio Armani Rouge d’Armani Lasting Satin Lip Color Plum 608
Earrings | Rebecca Minkoff Thread Wrapped Geometric Earrings Bracelet | Gorjana Newport Cuff Bracelet
Shoes | Badgley Mischka Moss Ankle Booties
I must say though, these Badgley Mischka shoes are everything and then some. They give me a nearly four inch boost making me just about 5’10 and I am obsessed with the sheer cage aspect of the ankle booties combined with the satin trim and the tiny row of crystals. Combine that with the exposed ankle zip and I was pretty much in heaven from the moment i opened the box – swoon! What would you wear to a fancy holiday party?

That’s a very awesome combination.
In my opinion, see through heels are some of the nicest picks for a velvet dress.

I love this dress on you. Perfect for a Christmas party. And those open toe high heel booties are styling. I recently bought a pair of clear see through 4 inch closed ankle booties from Aldo and I love them. I need to tell my boyfriend what I want for Christmas and your heels are it.
