I'm an Expert Party Dresser—30 Pieces I Can't Wait to Wear This Spring & Summer
I have said it before and I’ll say it again, if I had a superpower it would be party dressing. To me dressing for a party or a night out is when you get to have fun, let your personality shine through with your styling choices, experiment with trends, and wear something you wouldn’t normally wear day to day. For example, I probably wouldn't wear a cropped corset or sequin dress to my office but I’ll wear it to a restaurant opening in Soho. The best time of year for party dressing is the spring and summer months and luckily for us they just arrived. Everyone’s seasonal depression is slowly melting away and people are more inclined to get out, so naturally, I have been scouring all of my favorite sites in search of the best party items to ensure my spot on the best guest list this spring-summer. Mango, Shopbop, and Urban Outfitters had so many good things from dresses perfect for a dinner party, corset tops that are sure to gain you tons of compliments on girls' night, and sparkly pieces that have major main character energy.
Keep scrolling to see which party-ready items I have in my cart right now.
I'd style this cropped corset with jeans and a jacket for grabbing drinks with my friends.
