I’ll skip Christmas and go straight to New Year’s Eve in this dress.
Oh yes, I’m totally lovin’ the sequins trend this year. If it’s shiny, sparkly, or glittery…I want! Go bold and beautiful because it’s the holidays, so let loose!
Life’s too short to be a wallflower forever.
Outfit Details: South Sequin Cut-out Dress - UK8 (c/o Very.com), Gap obi belt, H&M earrings, Fearne sandals (c/o Very.com)
Last month, I participated in the Very.com blogger competition and though I didn’t win, I got this dress and a pair of heels.
The embellished dress is well constructed and carries some heft from all the beads and sequins. In UK8, this dress is a bit too big and long. With my trusty belt tuck trick, the excess fabric is hidden and it magically shortens from a midi to a mini.
As for the shoes, they’re the tallest heels I own at 4.5 inches with a 1 inch platform. They’re super comfy and they’re perfect dancing shoes. The only downside is that the quality is similar to Forever 21, Bakers, and Aldo shoes.
Did I forget to mention that Very.com also carries petites?

Thanks Olyvia! Basically, I fold over the excess fabric and wrap my obi belt around it. I tuck any excess fabric into the belt to make sure nothing sticks out….and it holds up all night! =)
