Holiday Party Dresses

How excited are you for Holiday parties? I am. I have a few to attend this year and I couldn't be happier as last year all of them were cancelled, postponed or so very small. I bought a dress last year only to return it as ours was cancelled. But this year, we have two for Rory's work and one for another thing he is involved in. And that doesn't count the annual Christmas Eve party and whatever we do for NYE (which is usually nothing).

I have one outfit already planned out (sequin skirt and soft sweater) from my closet, but I need one for the party in January...in Colorado. So help me out. Also, I wanted to share what I was looking at in case you have a holiday party to attend as well.

Holiday Party Dresses
Links go from the top left to right followed by the bottom left to right.

Velvet Wrap Maxi Dress - I have this dress in the hi-low version and I love it. I wore it to family photos and it fits beautifully. It is very well made, comfy, but very elegant.

Champagne Sparkle Maxi Dress - This dress is beautiful. You can wear it to a work party, Christmas dinner (let's be real, we never dress up like this for Christmas dinner) or on NYE.

Midi Sparkle Tank Dress - This dress would be fun for a New Year's Eve party!

Long Sequin Gown - I am not going to lie, this is my favorite dress out of the bunch. If you know me or can gather from my blog handle, I LOVE sparkle and this dress is just stunning.

Gatsby Sparkle Gown - This gown is simple, but so beautiful. And I feel like it would hide any bumps and lumps. Plus the back is beautiful too!

One Shoulder Sparkle Dress - This is another stunner and something I would wear to NYE or a Christmas party.

Blue/Green Metallic Maxi Dress - I bought (and sadly returned) a dress like this for the Gala I attended in September. I LOVED it, but it didn't fit my boobs very well. But it was very beautiful in person and I would have loved if it worked out.

Silver Sequin Slit Dress - I love the print on this dress. Definitely reminds me of a Gatsby dress.

Red Satin One Shoulder Dress - This dress would be perfect for a Winter wedding, a Christmas party or a nice date night. And I tried on a dress like this for the Gala, but I couldn't get my right size. I normally wear a size small, but needed a medium for this dress.

Velvet Off the Shoulder Dress - This dress is beautiful and would be perfect for a holiday party.

Emerald Green Maxi Dress - I love the cut of this dress. It looks like a goddess dress, but in green instead of gold. It hugs your curves and is super flattering.

Champagne Sequin Dress - This one covers you up a little more than the third one on the top row, but it is just as beautiful and probably better suited for a mom like me.

Black Lace Dress - I think I considered this dress for the Gala, but then never ordered it. I love lace and this dress has structure in it, so you don't need a bra or bra cups.

Gold Sequin Mini Dress - This is a perfect NYE dress, but probably too short for me. I am 5'9" and feel like it might be too short for me, but perfect for someone who is shorter to average height. 

So what do you think? Are you going to a holiday party this year? Will you be dressing up?

    1. Me too. And since we didn't get to last year, this year means so much more.

  6. So many pretty dresses here! You really can't go wrong with any of them! :) I usually just stick with a simple maxi dress - our parties are always full of kids so they aren't very glam events, haha!

    Hope that you are having a good week :) Yet another rainy spring day here!

    1. Ours are usually full of kids too, but this year I have two where no kids are allowed. I love a good maxi dress.

      I hope you are having a good week. It is surprisingly sunny here.

  7. Oh my goodness; these are all so beautiful! Nothing up here is anywhere near that fancy so for the company parties I plan to wear a sweater and some velvet leggings. I love that long dark green one with the side straps and the slight flare at the bottom. I am sure you will look fabulous in whatever you pick.

    1. I love a good pair of velvet leggings. I have one that is fancy and one that is more of a dress up for the evening, but not fancy. Ha. I love that one too. And thank you!!!
