Starbuck cups are circulating in red, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is just around the corner, along with Thanksgiving, and Black Friday, so this can only mean one thing: holiday parties and holiday dresses!  And luckily, I am putting together a holiday dress guide here on MSL for all your holiday party needs.

From your office cocktail party, to your significant other’s blow out party you are going to need a few holiday dresses to alternate between parties.  

For this holiday look–which I posted a sneak peek of on my Instagram Style-Up–I am going for an unexpected twist.  It’s a unique take on your average holiday dress.  This is a deep v neck dress by (gasp!) Forever 21 and instead of wearing a tank top underneath or a sweater, which you could do for a daytime look, let’s sex it up a bit for that evening holiday party.  Adding a lacy bralette is the perfect way to add a sexy vibe and also style the look in a very chic and fashionable way.  This look is seamlessly sexy and adding a simple cape coat and a stappy stiletto is the perfect outfit.  The strappy stiletto is a great shoe for a holiday party, I love a pointy toed stiletto but a strappy heal like this Gianvito Rossi one creates a dainty look.  

These stilettos were a recent gift to myself, they are navy and they are suede and they are everything I have ever wanted in a shoe.  However, they are not your walk around town shoe, they are the special occasion shoe that you wear to inside parties in the winter, and with shorts, and a loose blouse in the summer. They are a quality stiletto and I can’t wait to get a lot of use out of them.

Looking forward to providing you with more holiday ideas from dresses to shoes to accessories!
