Sweater weather? More like velvet weather! With temperatures cooling down, there's no better time to whip out this ultimate festive fabric. Velvet goes all the waaaay back to the days of royalty but guess what? It was still being rocked on the runways adding to vintage vibes for the 2016 fall/winter season.This lush material has a luxurious look to it, not to mention the super soft feel that leaves you lookin' an extra bit polished. So, go on and add velvet attire to your holiday wardrobe essentials list because it looks good, it feels good, and it keeps you warm? Check, check, and check.
The velvet item in my closet this season is a little black dress (velvet does look best with deeper, darker colors) from the Eva Mendes collection at New York & Company. The "Avery Velvet Sheath" dress has sophisticated yet sexy written all over it with a high neck and lengthy hem but a snug fit. Eva Mendes is known for her "feminine chic with a side of sultry" style, so it's no surprise that her line embodies her beautiful fashion.
I am loving the geometric pattern on the dress that spices the whole look up. To show off the detailed print, I decided on simple accessories with black pumps to match. For a touch more of holiday glam, glossed on red for the nails, swiped some more red on the lips and we're out! :)
