Business Festive
– No cleavage
– No skirt lengths more than about two inches above knee
– No skin tight anything; fitted is ok, but no ‘bandage’ dresses
– No skyscraper platform shoes
– Yes to sparkle ( best to be a part of your outfit, not all sparkle)
– Yes to luxurious fabrics such as satin or silk
– Always yes to classic black cocktail dress
This dress is a good example of what would be business festive….I actually wore it to my wedding rehearsal dinner and to my daughter’s bridal shower, in addition to a recent work event……it is elegant and feminine without being overtly sexy….nude pumps rather than black allow the eye to be drawn to the details of the dress….instead of a jacket or sweater I have worn a sheer black wool wrap, or pictured here, a vintage mink cape I scooped up at Revolve. The metallic clutch is a simple finishing touch.
Last word of advice: start looking now for the holiday parties, don’t wait until the last minute! You also might have something in your closet that just needs an alteration or a new accessory to look great. You can privately email me at candy.costas@yahoo.com if you want to show me a photo of something you are considering…….
