Chic and Glam party

I am so thankful that I am finally done school for the semester, the last 2 weeks of school was exhausting and...slightly painful. Last Saturday, I attended my dear bf's company Christmas dinner. Of course, a girl like me would love to have any excuse to dress up. So after digging through my closet and trying to search for something to wear...I ended up buying my whole outfit! Well, except for the shoes.

The outfit is utterly important to me, not only is it because what I wear is a reflection of myself, but also because I wanted it t be fun, young and appropriate. So, this is what I opted for:

Dress: Mendocino, Cropped jacket: Zara, Black Opaque tights, Heels: Nine West

I absolutely adore this dress, the detailed floral pattern is so feminine and the waist band just excentuates the waist line even more. The material is also stretchy, which is extremely important for a night that would consist of a meal that is equivalent to an Italian wedding (as there are many Italians at my bf's company, thus, they opted for Italian meal, which was absolutely delicious).

As the dress is strapless and on the shorter side, I opted for a pair of black opaque tights, which took me forever to find. I thought of playing around with hosiery and perhaps opt for a pair of black tights with lacey patterns, however, I felt that it would be too much on tp of the floral printed dress. Furthermore, the warmth provided by these opaque tights are more practical in this freezing Toronto weather.

For the cropped leather jacket, it was love at first sight. I was in search for a blazer (either sequined or studded) to go with this dress; however, I just didn't fall in love with any of the ones I saw. As soon as I spotted this cropped leather jacket at Zara, I knew it was the one. It's youthful and edgy, and to top it off, it's different. I will take a proper picture of it later on and do a feature post on it. The great thing about this jacket is that I can pair it with so many other outfits, dress it up, dress it down. I even wore it to work today!

*Please excuse the bathroom picture, I wanted to take a picture before we left the house and we were just rushing to leave, so I couldn't find a good spot to take a picture of the outfit with enough light and would be able to showcase my full outfit.

As for accessories, I kept it simple as I felt that my outfit was already doing most of the talking.

earrings: cheapy earrings from Hong Kong, absolutely love them though and they matched the flowers on my dress!

Watch: Movado - my birthday gift from mommy and George
Necklace: Tiffany & Co. - a gift from my dad many years ago.

Wishing everyone a happy holiday and happy holiday shopping!
