Favorite LBD styles for winter parties

Happy holidays, my friends! 

Poinsettias are always a great gift!

These little black dresses below are festive and fun:

H&M (sale $35 updated as of  7/26/15)

Sequins to sparkle and tulle to sweep under the flickering candlelights!

Here's how it looks on me: I appreciate that the tulle overlay over the sequins prevents the "uncomfortable hard-scratchiness" as with most sequined items. The sparkly fitted tube-style underneath paired with the ballerina-like tulle is so much fun! I feel elegant and saucy at the same time.

Other Ideas: how cool is the back of this dress...

Long-sleeve Velvet Chiffon Shift Dress ($150)

(comes in Petite sizes too)

"Oohzing" over this cute LBD on ASOS...

No more dresses

When I first started blogging....almost two years ago or so....I mainly focused on finding fancy dresses to fit my petite self and collected all sorts since. This reminds me that I have more than enough dresses in my closet for special occasions now. I'm going to make it a new goal to stop buying dresses for as long as possible, and to re-wear my old dresses with different accessories when I want a new look.  Also, some of my old dresses do need to be altered....that'll be something to look forward to :)

Remember my search for the perfect little black dress (before all those pages got deleted)?

Hehe, those were the days! I'm still loving my LBD (the last bottom-right one in the collage). Through these past few years as a blogger, I've discovered that for a thin petite body, my favorite place to shop for special-occasion dresses is ASOS! When on a budget, I recommend trying H&M, Target juniors, and LOFT petite (but beware, it seems like we always run into dress-twins from these retailers and their limited selections).

But no more dresses for me!
