Hello, hello!! How was your weekend? A new week starts today, and in the end of it there’s Christmas. I’m sure many of you will have lots of parties to attend this week, and maybe the next one too. So, I prepared for you a post to give you some ideas of what you could wear at those holiday parties (Christmas, New Year’s Eve etc.). I hope you enjoy reading this post, and you find the perfect dress among my recommendations.
It took me a while to create this whole post (a real pain, with all these hyperlinks and collages), but I really enjoyed making the collages.
So, let’s start with the more affordable dresses you could wear, since most of us are on a tight budget, and haven’t much money to spend on it. But we still want to wear something new, and look glamorous in it. Am I right?

From top left and horizontally: Asymmetric Zara Studio dress, River Island Metallic dress, TFNC Contrast Sash Bandeau Dress, ASOS Cut Out Bodycon Dress with Mesh Insert, ASOS Dress with High Neck Mesh, Isabeli Fontana by Terry Richardson Mango dress, Mango long sleeve dress, Rainbow Lurex Cross Back Dress by Dress Up Topshop, Mango lace dress, Oasis Sequin Skater Dress.
Did you find the right dress or are you looking for something more luxurious or extravagant, and want to splurge on one? Don’t worry! Here’s a list for you too.

From top left and horizontally: Vince Sequin-embellished crepe dress, Alice + Olivia Ritchie sequined silk-crepe dress, Alice + Olivia Sequined stretch-mesh dress, Moschino Cheap and Chic Tinsel-effect lame dress, Alice + Olivia Leather and tulle dress, J.Crew Sequined silk-crepe dress, Stella McCartney Two-tone jersey dress, Burberry London Silk-georgette dress, Notte by Marchesa Draped silk-crepe dress, Red Valentino Ruffled stretch-crepe dress, Dolce & Gabbana Lace and satin bustier dress, Victoria Beckham Stretch-jersey dress.
Now I know that most of you will say that you like the dresses from the first row, ‘cause they are more special and more appropriate for a holiday party. After all sequins are a huge trend right now and that’s why I put so many sequined dresses on the list – because I know how much you like them. BUT, I think that the first row is more suitable for younger women – in their 20’s – and the 2nd one for older ones – 30’s or 40’s, depending of course on your personal style. No offense to the women in their 30’s and up. It doesn’t mean that you can’t wear those dresses from the 1st row. I’ve just noticed, that most women in their 20’s find the dresses on 2nd row more conservative. But not me! In fact my personal taste is going more to the 2nd row, and I’m still on my 20’s. And I think that these dresses will look gorgeous for holiday parties, if you pair them with the right accessories.
Let me show you what I mean…

From the top and clockwise: ASOS HYSTERIC Glitter Platform High Sandals, Kandee Rosso booties, Kandee Blueberryade pumps, Christian Louboutin Metallip 120 suede and metal pumps, Kandee Limonade booties, Jimmy Choo Greta lamé-covered suede sandals, ASOS PEPPER Platform Peep Toe Mary Jane Shoes, Zara wide heel sandal with stones, Christian Louboutin No. 299 150 suede and python pumps, Kandee Cavity booties.
Did you get what I meant? 😉
I think these would suffice it, but if you want just a little bit more, I have one last thing for you.

Skirts: Zara Synthetic leather pencil skirt, Zara sequined skirt, Zara sequined studio skirt, Zara sequined mini skirt, Topshop Premium metallic calf skirt.
Mini dresses and accessories: Zara Sequined dress, Mango multi-chain necklace, Asos Ridged double cuff, Zara wide heel sandal with stones (heel detail), Zara sequined dress.
So what do you think? Did you find anything to wear on those parties? I really hope you did!
Have a nice day and an even better week. And I’ll be here again really soon!

Amazing post! Thanks for gathering all these for us dear M!
It’ll take a lot of thinking till I choose my favorite outfits so, I’ll come back with the chosen ones 🙂
Many kisses
Thank you very much! I’ll be waiting to hear what you chose!
I still haven’t found the perfect dress for New Year’s. I don’t even know whether I’ll buy one.
Gorgeous dresses! Loving the one with the cutout back – and I agree, the sequined ones are also perfect for the holidays 🙂

Exciting! I was waiting for this post! I knew you would choose the most beautiful dresses! I have some favorite ones!
My absolute favorite is the Topshop one, that has a skirt and style of the 50s 🙂 By now you know I love full skirts and “thin” waist lines! I would choose that for Chirstmas!
Then any metallic dress or skirt would also do, because they are cheerful and party-like! I would pick one for new year’s eve and would wear the outfit with the beige ankle boots you also showed!
Definitely your picks were great! And my favorite shoes were the two Christian Louboutin ones!
I’m sure that whatever you choose you’ll look fabulous, WITHOUT ANY DOUBT! Buying a new outfit or not, you’ll look very beautiful (because you are!) and very elegant (because you also are!)
You know what, some years ago I was very traditional, but after a while I started mixing everything… a friend of mine sent me an email with a “message for life” – and it certainly impressed me… I’ll try to reproduce it more or less:
– at 10 she wanted to look like her dolls; at 20, like her friends; at 30, like magazine models; at 40, she wanted to look younger; and so it went, blah blah blah – and the end was: so finally at 80, she put on her yellow hat with purple dots and just felt happy she didn’t care about other people’s opinions anymore, just what she believed.
(I’m not saying anybody does, I’m just writing what impressed me…)
From the last year on I thought “you know… life is too short to please everybody… and we will never reach it!”
Anyway, too much philosophy, hahaha! I loved your picks as usual and I am eager to see what you’ll wear on Christmas!
Filakia pollaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Denise recently posted..Shoeper Shoe Challenge # 99 and Inspiration Monday
Great picks Denise! I think you would look lovely in any outfit. I’m not sure I will wear anything fancy on Christmas Day. I may wear the same outfit I wore a few days ago for T’s birthday. I don’t even know what we’ll do. We’ll propably stay home, so I need something comfortable to help my mom with the food and all. We’ll see. But I will definitely do a post about that one.
I really liked the “message for life”. It was indeed really impressive.
Sorry for the short reply today. I feel so tired. And I just wrote a huuuuuge reply in Greek (see above and you’ll understand) 😉
I’m heading to your blog now, to read your latest post before I go to sleep.
Filakia polla!
Oh sweetie this guide is fantastic! I’m all about the luxe for these holidays, thanks for the tips!
