Christmas Party Dress – The Conclusion

After a long walk down Robson St., I took a quick peek into Bebe.  And, right there was the dress!  It was like a light was shining on it and the voice of Josh Groban was belting out “Alleluia!”?!?! What!?!? Anyway, the dress fit perfectly.  I didn’t wear the belt shown in the picture.  I did however pair my black strapless dress with red peek-a-boos and black clutch.   Would you believe there were over 1000 people at this party?  1,890 people – to be exact.  I spotted quite a few recycled bridesmaids’ dresses.  Not that it’s bad… I mean, I was going to do the same thing too.  It’s just the shopoholic in me that can’t allow me to wear the same dress twice.  So sad, I know. And, with regard to my purple dress post, I was right!  Almost everyone had worn a purple cocktail dress.  Another popular look was the leopard print.  With Robert Cavalli’s recent H&M release, it’s no wonder so many woman showed off their wild side with the animal patterns.  All in all, I was happy with my choice and the party was real fun.   

LPD!!! the new LBD

This season’s new LBD (little black dress) is the LPD? (little purple dress)  I would go for the shiny materials rather than the matte shades.  With jeweled tones all the rage, shiny is better.  Purple has always been associated with royalty, so think of yourself as a princess in this slimming color.  .  Your Purple dress should be the main attraction, so try not to accessorize with the same shade. You don’t want to look like Barney the Dinosaur.   Black is your best bet for shoes or a clutch to go with the dress.  I wouldn’t match purple with green either… reminds me of the Joker from Batman.  K-I-S-S (keep it simple stupid) Black + Purple = fab combo for winter.
