What do we wear to all of these holiday festivities?!?! It can be kind of complicated, so I thought it would be fun to simplify things with 3 different ways to wear one LBD. If you don’t have an LBD you like, I found this one at Nordstrom I love the fit and the price was right. Plus, it was so easy to style and change looks, which means its an extremely versatile LBD. I’m so glad Nordstrom asked me to check out their dress department for the holidays so I could find this hidden LBD gem.
Here are the 3 different ways to wear an LBD for the holidays, each one with it’s own “vibe”.
How about pairing an LBD with a fur vest?!
I’m thinking this is the “cool party people” vibe. Because, I don’t know, don’t you feel “cool” when you have a fur vest on with some big gold hoop earring?!? Hahahaha!
How about pairing an LBD with with a blazer?!? I stole the fur collar off one of my sweaters and put it on top of my blazer to give it an extra festive feel.
I’m thinking this has a “sophisticated chic” vibe to it. I love the back zipper detail on this dress. It adds a little extra umph.
Here’s the easiest, most classic way to wear an LBD- with a statement earring and a red lip. This has a “classic yet daring” vibe to it.
Ok, now I’m thinking my “vibes” are really cheesy. -ha! But, I thought the descriptions would be helpful? Like, do I want a cool, sophisticated or classic look to this event.

GIRL! You are SMOKIN’ HOT in that last picture. The vibe I’m getting there is “I’M ONE HOT MAMMA! DON’T MESS WITH ME AND ALL MY HOTNESS!”
Lots of love to you, sista!
Can’t decide between the fur stole and the classic, but I’m leaning toward classic. You look fabulous in each of them!
Where is the mirror from?? Love!
Hi Mary, I’m glad you like the mirror! It’s a new purchase! It’s from http://www.wisteria.com.

Did you order a petite? It doesn’t look as long as the dress on the website? I am 5’4″ Do you recommend the petite for me?

Hi! Yes, I would recommend the petite for you. I am 5’8″. I am not wearing a petite. I hope this helps.
ok – this is the 2nd dress of yours that I have bought – love your style! What size did you buy? I am 5’7 but slender – I am always stuck btwn a small and med . . . I also bought the navy blue you bought at an out of town wedding – I wore in NYC in the fall – loved it!

Yay! I’m glad you like the dress. I’m 5’8″ and I am wearing the xs. I hope this helps.
BTW… All the looks are just great, but I like the sophisticated with the earrings and the red lip best! It’s simple, but elegant!
Thanks for all your tips. I actually have purchased multiple items from your blogs and I look forward to you new ones.

By any chance did you get the Jeny Baker Designs necklace from Wisteria and just change out the chain for a much longer one? I love it, and the price is great right now, but the chain is MUCH shorter.
