ConfidentlyCorporate Holiday Party Glam Guide Part III

I’m sure you recall my challenge to give your LBD a break – a holiday party allows you to be seen in a fun environment so don’t show up boring! But make sure you stand out in a positive and professional way. This is the time of year you get an opportunity to take a little more risks in clothing and step away from your familiar place of style comfort.

Yesterday’s dress, while beautiful, barely got you away from the LBD, but ’tis the season for color and this season is all about jewel tones!  Embrace it.

This City Chic velvet wrap dress will allow you to shine bright. It features:

  • True wrap
  • A-line silhouette
  • Bold jewel tones plus
  • Velvet texture

Let me be honest. When I first received the dress, I debated returning it because something about it made me feel like I was wearing a bath robe. That then I paired it with this glam cinch belt from Torrid and it changed the look completely! [This belt is last season, but you can find a comparable one that is currently on sale here.]

Takeaway here: give your outfits an upgrade by adding statement belts or jewelry!

Jewel tones and velvet fabrics are a must-have this holiday season and you get both in one dress with this stunner.

Metallic shoes compliment this dress perfectly – I opted for my Sam Edelmen pumps in yesterday’s post.

I wore dainty Stella and Dot earrings to balance out the bling in my belt and shine in my shoes.

What is your favorite thing about this look?
