I Always Aim to Be the Best Dressed at the Party—I Love These Types of Dresses
I love party dressing. It's the perfect time to wear a fun look, something sparkly, add some feathers, or maybe go for a leather piece if that's how you're feeling. It's the opportunity to dress a little more fun, a little sexier. That's the thing about heading out for an event or a party is that you never know how the night is going to go. Who you're going to meet or where the night is going to take you is somewhat of a mystery—that's the fun part. But no matter what you are planning on getting into for a night out, first things first is a great outfit.
As mentioned before, this is the time to let your personal style shine—whether you're all about a classic, clean, minimalist look or you're down to stand out and embrace colors, sparkles, and feathers. With holiday celebrations coming up, birthday weekends just around the corner, and office parties coming back in full swing now is the perfect time to start adding to your partying/night-out wardrobe. I've rounded up 30 fun looks that I can't wait to try for myself.
