Holiday food and activities are here; Setting up the Christmas tree and adding Michael Buble to your playlist are right around the corner. However, one of the most stressful tasks is choosing that perfect dress that matches all the Holiday party requirements. Some dresses are too short, not short enough, too much sparkles or in need of more. Thankfully, I’ve already experienced that stress too many times until I’ve became a pro at looking for dresses, these tips are simple and easy. Not only will they save you time but they’ll have you looking like you’re on your way to the Met Gala.

Understanding the difference between each and knowing what you’re looking for will speed up your process of finding the perfect dress.

-Cocktail: Cocktail dresses are more glamorous and showy (most contain sparkles or brighter colors). Perfect if you’re looking for a more glammy look, also cute to add a fur coat.
-Sequins: Sequined dresses are glamorous and super easy to wear since you don’t need to go all out on shoes and/or accessories
-Two Piece Dress: Two pieces dresses are either crop tops with a pencil skirt or separated bottoms. Perfect for summer and spring time with heeled sandals.
Adding accessories and footwear:
The final and last step is choosing footwear and accessories. Once you found a website that carries what you’re looking for, you always count on the accessories and footwear to dress it up.
