WHAT TO WEAR FOR THE HOLIDAYS

yes its super annoying that as i stroll through popular stores they are already putting up

Christmas decorations and already have Mariah Carey's Christmas album in HEAVY rotation.

Don't get me wrong I love the holidays but DAMN

give us a minute...it's not even Thanksgiving yet!

With all that said with Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up there are bound to be parties to attend whether it be a Thanksgiving celebration with the family, the company Christmas party, or New Years Eve.

Here are a few tips on holiday attire.

Thanksgiving by monroesteele featuring a draped dress

On Thanksgiving you want to look polished but be comfortable especially if you are meeting the In Laws or the boyfriends family. You also want a built-in elastic waist or something without a waist at all. You will be eating so jeans are OUT!

 There should be nothing tightly sucking you in. Also if you are anything like me you make many visits to many different homes to eat copious amounts of food.

 Keep in mind if someone is cooking their house is probably going to be pretty hot so I NEVER wear chucky clothing or sweaters on Thanksgiving.

Company Holiday Party by monroesteele featuring christian louboutin heels

The company holiday or office party can be daunting. There are probably some people you hate, some people you like and someone that you want to make sure they know how great you look "outside" of your work attire

(whether that be a hot guy or that b**** thats always in your business).

Then you have to act accordingly around your boss while socially consuming alchohol.

Here's a tip...less is definitely more.

Go ahead and put on your tallest skinniest heel, there is rarely dancing at the office holiday party.

Christmas by monroesteele featuring sheer tops

At Christmas you definitely want to be comfortable but have an air of wonder and embellishment in your outfit. During Christmas there is often a meal (so the same tips for Thanksgiving) and you will need a huge purse to hold all those gifts! A wedge is great because you will be running round all day giving and receiving gifts.

New Years by monroesteele featuring clutch bags

New Years can go a lot of different ways. Some are Black Tie, some are business casual, some are come however the hell you please. It really just depends. But when it comes to shoes...

CHOOSE COMFORT!

a thick wedge, thick heel or boot will save you from being THAT GIRL who walks around barefoot at the end of the night. so gross.

Voila!

Your holiday outfits served in a fresh blog post.

Taylor Dress: My Showroom Visit

Stark white walls....lined with a silver rack the span of the room.

with nothing but gorgeous dress after gorgeous dress.

all different colors and textures and fabrics and lengths.

I am in Taylor Dress showroom...otherwise known as Dress Heaven

Thanks to Nicole I got to see the dresses up close and personal.

I felt like running through the room and hugging every dress and swirling. lol

The Taylor dress is definitely refined yet fun, alluring yet festive...the dresses all have a certain sophistication yet a playful element.

 These are a few that my eye was immediately drawn to.

 This was definitely my absolute favorite and it has pockets!

You all know how I feel about dresses and skirts with pockets! The details are so small but really make this dress POP.

 I also got to check out some of the documented recent press for Taylor. They are actually going to be in O Magazine Oprah Winfrey's Magazine soon! I was also told that recently Star Jones took over the place swept up in all the amazing dresses!

 I even got a sneak peak into production! This was so cool. As customers we often forget what goes into creating an article of clothing especially something as fabulous as a Taylor dress. It was super neat to get to see behind the scenes.

Taylor Dresses are sold mostly in major department stores such as Nordstroms and Loehmann's but you can check them out online Taylor Dress and twitter.

I think the line has done exceptionally well and they are only 4 years old!

what do you all think of Taylor Dresses?
