Lovely Lace

Who doesn’t love a good little black dress? An LDB is a wardrobe essential, and every girl should have one or two (or a few) that she can rely on. As much as I am a fan of a simple black dress, I love to mix it up a bit. The black and gold lace overlay covering a golden underlay provide so much dimension to draw the eye in. I knew this Maggy dress was a must have for the holiday season.

Party Dresses

I’m always on the lookout for party dresses I love! There is nothing worse than having a big event (or a holiday party) coming up and nothing to wear. I have definitely been in the position of shopping for a dress the day of an event, and it is just too stressful! I remember shopping for a sorority formal dress the morning of the event – because I hadn’t found anything I liked/felt comfortable in.

Well, my mom always told me that if you are out and about and you see a dress you love, just buy it! If you love it and feel comfortable in it, you’ll wear it! Plus, you can’t beat the peace of mind of having that dress sitting in your closet for any upcoming events. This is exactly how I felt about this lacy Maggy London number!
