Holiday Finery

[dropcap custom_class=”normal”]T[/dropcap]here’s so much pressure to buy a new holiday dress each year and I certainly succumbed, convincing myself that the holidays just wouldn’t be complete without a new satin or sequin frock. After hours of online searching (and a handful of returned rejects), I turned to my own closet and chose this simple black dress. I bought it last summer at Kohl’s and was grateful for the breezy style on those sweltering days. I even brought it to Belgium with me, wore it in Amsterdam, and donned it on the plane home. I never expected that it would be such a pretty canvas for Gerard Yosca’s holiday jewelry (check back tomorrow for a special holiday giveaway!). I added my favorite pumps and a matching mani for a bit of playfulness and made sure to adhere to each of Gerard’s tips for refined holiday dressing.

  2. I always want something new as well but so far I haven’t been tempted by anything so I might turn to my closet as well. You look gorgeous and again I love those earrings and that necklace.

  4. That dress did work out perfectly, and your new jewels are beyond stunning. You are as always, a braver sole than I to go out sans tights and coat.

  9. you look great! I love your dress ad your shoes are gorgeous!

    • Thanks! I also only spent around $10 on it. It had this stupid waist tie that was stitched into the seam. It was a thousand times cuter once my tailor got rid of it.
