DRESS For The Holidays

It's the most EXPENSIVE time of the year!  

Am I right or what ladies? Besides purchasing gifts, decorations for your home and food for your family, you also receive a flurry of invites to events that fill up your social calendar. Many of these events take place in the evening, requiring cocktail dresses, evening gowns, ball gowns or some form of formal attire. You want to look good, but you also have a budget to adhere to. What's a girl to do? Well when you shop, I want you to keep in mind the advice of some of the fashion experts! You know their names! Chanel, Valentino, Vreeland and Laurent!

"A Girl Should Be Two Things: Classy and Fabulous" ~ Coco Chanel

Buy Classy! Buy Fabulous! Buy a dress that you can wear again and again and AGAIN. Before purchasing a dress, look at it and ask yourself where else can you wear it. A versatile dress will give you many options. Many options will save you money in the future.

"I Know What Women Want. They Want To Be Beautiful" ~ Valentino Garavani

Buying a beautiful dress shouldn't cripple your checking account or credit card. Also know, beautiful dresses can be found many places. Don't limit yourself to department stores or even privately owned dress shops to find one. The markups on event, prom dresses and evening dresses can be outrageous at these places. I know, because I worked part time at one while in college. Avoid the middle man markup and try buying online at a site such as MissesDressy.  I just recently discovered their website and was very impressed with their price range (they have a dress for every budget), selection of sizes (0-28), variety of dresses (for all types of events) and they ship nearly WORLDWIDE.

"The Only Real Elegance Is In The Mind. If You've Got That The Rest Really Comes From That" ~ Diana Vreeland

Confidence and elegance is a state of mind. I've witnessed women wearing expensive designer gowns, with very little of either. It's not how much you've paid for a dress, but how you feel and look in it that matters. I really like these Sherri Hill dresses. I think they exude confidence, elegance, sophistication and may I add sparkle.They're perfect for the holidays.

"Over The Years I Have Learned That What Is Important In A Dress   
Is The Woman That Is Wearing It" ~ Yves Saint Laurent

And last but not least, how does the dress make you FEEL? Do you smile when you look at it? Does it make you feel like the most beautiful girl in the world? It should no matter what you pay for it! If it does anything less, put it back and search for something else. Remember, YOU deserve nothing but the best!
