Holiday Parties?

November 28, 2008 by WendyB

Don’t wear a little black dress this season unless you WANT to be a wallflower. Go for a little red dress instead. Bloom!

    I’d wear that in a nanosecond. With your Chrysanthemum necklace.

    Funny you mention that necklace. Just the other day I decided I wasn’t doing another in that style, so the one I have now is the last one!

    Nice dress, it’d look great with a wrap made of garland. I’m only half joking.

    I love red for the holidays. It’s a great way to stand out in a crowd of all black. Great dress!

    I don’t think I own a single little black red!

    (or a red one either, but then red isn’t my colour..)

    Oh MY!!!

    This is ab-so-LUTE-ly GORGEOUS!!! I so wish I had a reason to wear this… you know besides just sitting around the house, painting my nails, while looking fabulous!

    Wowza… wouldn’t be a wallflower in that little number. Gorgeous.

    The LBD is always a last resort for me or worn only if the party’s specifically a black-and-white shindig. I love this red strapless number!

  19. Karen says

    November 29, 2008 at 9:51 pm

    I am so over black! Let’s make RED the new black!!!

    And it already sold out!

    I am still looking for a NYE dress..going down the “little black dress” road now.

    Oh and in my Internet wanderings I saw this:

    I keep thinking I should try to find a red dress for various Christmas parties. I just don’t want to go shopping with the mobs out there right now…

    oooh nice! and they’re having a great lavender sale at Gilt today… you should check it out!

    i’m a bit embarrassed to admit that i wore a lbd last night to mr. mvp’s work holiday party — but it’s my favorite lbd and it was too tight for a long time and now it fits again so i just had to wear it. also, i wore red lipstick with it!
