My go to holiday look would be a black dress, mini sparkly bag and a pair of festive heels. You can never go wrong with a black dress for any celebration as it is a timeless classic. Once Karl Lagerfeld said, “One is never over-dressed or underdressed with a little black dress”. Play with shapes, drape, and accessories, and make your LBD moment your OWN. For me, it is important to see a woman walking into the room and only see what she’s wearing AFTER. I feel that a black dress does the trick to work as a canvas for YOU!
