I adore this velvet flocked swing dress...soooo pretty & festive. I needed something for Kate's holiday work party...so I went shopping in my own closet & found this dress I had gotten on sale at Torrid.
I don't know what I did before getting this black velvet burnout shawl for $11 on clearance at Target...I wish I had gotten two.
I could have used some static guard...also, I wish I had gotten some photos of this dress without the shawl. Oh! And these Snag tights are FABULOUS...unfortunately, they were out of my size in black, but worn in the correct size...they are PERFECT. If you order 10 pairs, they are 25% off, which makes these awesome tights only $9! They are more opaque than We Love Colors, fit me better, & are so much cheaper. I'll still wear WLC because their color selection can't be beat. So, now I can confidently say...Snag is Muffin approved.
My make-up with this outfit included...Urban Decay eyeliner in Perversion, Stila liquid eyeliner in Intense Black, Violet Voss Oh Snap! palette, Santa Sangre lipstick by Kat von D, NYX glitter in Red, & Ruby Pumps nail polish from China Glaze.
Kate's work party was at The Fireside Theatre...the play was A Christmas Story, The Musical.
Each section of the dining area had a theme...we were in the sea section. I had a Shoot Your Eye Out Sangria & a tropical concoction.
Dinner was better than I expected. The poor girlie had just gotten in the evening before from her trip to Thailand...so she was severely sleep deprived...but stubbornly determined to attend her holiday work party.
That dessert was a massive ginger hit, which I loved...but I noticed a lot of leftover cake. The play was alright, but we left at intermission because it was already 9pm & it wasn't good enough to get home that late. I am quite sure we already saw the best part...a chorus of dancing girls dressed as leg lamps.
Eye make-up complete...false lashes. Kate & I both wore the same outfits the following weekend to attend holiday Wasted at Square Wine. I love spending time with my two favorite people.
I sat myself down on the couch because YUM, plus my stupid hurting knee. I need to tell you about these amazing cookies Lindsay made...Alison Roman's Salted Butter & Chocolate Chunk Shortbread. They were quite possibly the best cookies I've ever had.
Group photo! David & I signed up to host wine tasting at our house again next October...hopefully nothing will stop us this time. Happy Holidays!
