What is the common color that people wear to the party? Black, black and black - you bet. Black attire is overrated at times in my opinion. The other night, my husband and I braced a chilly weather and went to my company's Annual Holiday Party at a hotel. At first, my plan was to wear a little black dress but I changed my mind as of last minute as I was browsing through a tiny of dresses in my closet. I came across this little white dress which I purcahsed in Bangkok earlier this year but completely forgot about it (what's new, right?) While most people went for a classic black color, I was picking an opposite shade and totally loving it. This ensemble turnede out exactly the way I visioned it - clean, sophisticated, fun, bright and chic.

{White dress and shoes: from Bangkok / Scarf: Hermes / Earring & Purse: Chanel / Fur Jacket: Macy's - several years ago}
{Foundation: La Mer / Eyeshadow and blush: NYX / Powder: Revlon PhotoReady / Lips: Vaseline}







You look absolutely stunning! I love how you matched the white dress with the Hermes scarf. It's such an elegant and sophisticated ensemble. Love the smoky eye make-up too!
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous, Nelah! And that gingerbread house is AMAZING! My company party is next week and I was planning on just wearing jeans and a sweater.... haha.. but after reading your post I am having second thoughts. I probably should dress up a bit, huh... This is my first real job so don't know what is expected. Anyway, did you have to alter that dress? Most of the stuff I buy from Bangkok is a one size fit all. Lucky I am skinny. Lol.
ReplyDeleteOh and to answer your question. I bought the express editor pants. It's been almost two weeks now since Ive ordered them. What dress pants do you recommend? Something that does not require a lot of altering-- fits right off the rack.
Ah, sorry for the long comment!
You are one hot momma Nelah!! I couldnt agree more.....black is soooo over rated, isnt it? I think alot of times its a "go to" color because people are just too lazy to figure out another outfit, lol.
ReplyDeleteThe dress is gorgeous....I bet you were the star of the evening in it!

I totally agree with you on black dress. That is the usual choice unless there's a dress code. Black is an easy color to mix with anything and everything.
ReplyDeleteSuch great choice and very daring of you to pick white in the end! White actually makes one look so elegant and clean. You looked so pretty =) and your Hermes scarf look fabulous too!
