A Statement Party Dress Look For The Holiday Season

Photos by Jenn Camp

This holiday season, break out of that little black dress rut for something that makes more of a statement. Enter the brocade and embroidery trend (one of my favorites at the moment), which is guaranteed to lend a festive touch to any outfit. With that in mind, here is my take on the perfect holiday party dress look, with my top picks from Nordstrom.

+ Alice + Olivia Pacey V-Neck Metallic Brocade Dress
+ Estée Lauder Modern Muse Eau de Parfum Spray
+ NARS Lipstick in Cruising
+ NARS Iconic Color Nail Polish in Endless Night
+ Jules Smith Americana 14k Gold Plated Open Cuff Bracelet
+ Kate Spade New York Crystal Ear Crawlers
+ Rebecca Minkoff 'Leo' Envelope Clutch
+ Topshop 'Gifted' Tassel Tie Pump
