Fall Party Attire

This post was meant to go live a while back but for whatever reason, I left it sitting in the queue. I’ve been busy with work and took a break to rest but I am back. This look was worn a few weeks ago to a birthday party for one of my pastors. Although this was worn towards the end of October, I chose to take this beautiful maroon/purple-ish dress with my favorite chocolate girl nude sandals. For this look I let the winged sleeves do all the talking as I kept everything else cool.

With the holiday festivity season soon approaching, the best thing to keep in mind, is to not over do it. To avoid to much noise and clutter pick a top, pant, skirt or dress with different details that will stand out one it one and pick accessories that with accentuate that. For example, with this look the sleeves were the focal point so I chose a simple chain necklace so that my neckline wasn’t too boring but it wasn’t overbearing. Also, since my hair was down and it was curled my dramatic earrings were subtle, only peaking out from time to time.

Try a textured skirt, that is suede or leather. A sequins top or a grey over sized coat, try a fringed or A line skirt. Thanksgiving will be around the corner before we know it, start looking for your statement pieces for the festivities !
