Put on your party best
Here's an evening look that will make you the belle of the ball
“I have nothing to wear!” It’s a common refrain this season. Getting decked out in a dramatic party frock is exciting, but the pressure to find the perfect outfit can leave you feeling more like a desperate housewife than a modern-day Cinderella.
The trick is to play with proportion by combining a fitted top with a more voluminous skirt. A tailored bodice will accentuate your figure, and a flirty skirt will make you feel like dancing the night away without sacrificing comfort. No need to stick with your favorite little black dress when any color works. Experts say it’s more about the fabric and fit as long as you wear a hue that suits your skin tone.
In terms of jewelry, less is more, but that doesn’t mean unassuming. Think minimal, but striking, choosing one statement piece—chunky earrings, oversize cocktail rings or a dazzling choker.
To simply your search, we’ve put together a memorable ensemble sure to have you sparkling as bright as any holiday lights.
Provocative as its name, Swarovski’s stunning Maniac necklace, $500, is ruthenium-plated and features crystal satin, jet hematite and jet crystal beads for an enchanting look of holiday elegance. Complement it with this sea green, pure silk halter dress from Amsale, $260, with delicate pleating, a ruffled sweetheart neckline and a ruched empire waist with a cluster of rosettes.
