Happy "Holla" Holidays. Festive attire desired. I'm a hollering "HAPPY" because I got the shimmer! The minute I saw this Sequin Number in the Nordstrom Holiday catalog, I knew I wanted it to be mine.
I wanted to get these photos at some cool locale but it was just too darn windy and rainy, darn you Mother Nature..hurts a bloggers photo dreams ya know! The porch was about as far as we could go, lol!
I actually forgot to showcase the dressy, glitzy clutch I'd carry with this and I probably would put on pair of tights but before I get pasty white, I went for it with just knee high boots.
These Sequin Dresses is from a line at Nordstrom called "Something Navy" and us the vision of popular blogger Arielle Charnas. Of all the blog collabs with Nordy, her stuff is some of my favorite. Yeah so at first because of the line name I thought the dress was of course, Navy, but it is indeed black. I bet I may be getting more pieces from her cute line. I just love the satin cinch tie waist on this. If I eat too much at a Holiday dinner, I can totally loosen it a little, lol!
This Fall, I have loved a good golden hue. A few weeks ago, I told you about the skirt I had ordered from Amazon for family pictures. I was really worried how the skirt with a look, but it is phenomenal. It’s an elastic waist band and not only comes with a black belt but a chiffon sash in the same color. Since I tied the front of this denim shirt, I opted not to even use the sash and I love the way it turned out. Today, our fashion prompt at TBB is holiday looks and I thought since I wore this for our holiday family Christmas card pictures this past weekend that it was the perfect outfit to showcase. A great price that packs a fabulous festive punch!
