Faux fur, velvet, sequins.. getting dressed at the holidays is just more fun. But a lot of time – it feels like those fancy extras get reserved for after hours. So after I picked out this slouchy sequin top and these embellished flats from Boden (and I knew I couldn’t possibly wait to break them out until my first holiday party invite) I threw together this casual holiday look.

We’re in the full swing of wedding season (showers, bachelorette parties, the big day..) and in efforts to avoid my usual trap of buying wayyy too many different dresses, I’m taking a different approach this year. I teamed up with one of my favorite brands, French Connection, this week to show you how just one dress can get you through it all. Yesterday, I took it to a Bridal Shower, and today? We’re talking Rehearsal Dinner-wear. Better still? You can win this sequin showstopper for yourself! ENTER HERE.

Like it or not – we’re officially in wedding season. Last year alone, I attended bridal showers, bachelorette parties, rehearsal dinners and oh yeah, actual weddings. And want to know how many dresses I purchased to get me through all those? The answer is too many. So this year – I decided to do things differently. And with the help of French Connection I chose a single dress. So over the next few days, I’m showing you how to wear this modern-day mermaid concoction for every different nuptial related event you may find yourself staring at an invite for this season. And even better – French Connection is giving the same dress to one lucky reader, so enter below!

When I was thinking of what dress would be my hero piece of the season I knew it needed to have the ability to lightly layer, go with accessories I already owned, be comfortable and also a bit of a statement. This shimmery, curve-hugging number fit the bill perfectly. For a bridal shower I would pair it with this flutter sleeve top (for the record: I’m totally okay with wearing a touch of white to a shower as a guest, but would make it a second runner to another color, and try to avoid white lace in general to wedding related events), comfortable gold wedges, a small cross-body bag and loose low ponytail. Check back tomorrow when I head to a rehearsal dinner and change things up completely.
