I've never been fond of long dresses probably because I'm not the tallest, and I don't find the fit very flattering. So, I've never worn a long dress for any occasion which you will notice in the formal wear posts to come. Anyway, I wore this dress to my aunt's New Year's Eve party this past December/January. We were told it was a "fancy party", so my mom, sisters, and I all ran out to find something decent-- the evening of, of course.
I got this one at Ross. My sister had originally picked it out for herself although unsure whether or not she'd be attending. Turned out she wasn't, so the dress was all mine. I only had $10 to spend, though, and the dress was $20. I compromised with my mom and sister: if I lent my sister one of my new dresses to attend another party, not only would my mom hand wash the dress but she'd also pay for the $20 dress.
I agreed and the rest is history.
Because it was cold, I originally paired this with black tights and black shoes. If I were to wear this now, I'd definitely wear it differently.
I find this dress to be a lot of fun. It's short; it's tight; it's glittery; it's frilly (?); it's also really comfortable. Thus, it is the ultimate party dress.
