Party Dresses: Sequins

It's that time of year again...it's time to start thinking about those Holiday parties so this season I will bring you party dresses each Wednesday in different categories for a total deal. This week I'm starting with the ever so famous sequin dress. Sequins of course is glamorous and the it girl party dress! You can party girl it up with a sequin dress or tone it down for a casual Holiday party.

Think girly and sexy for this NYE.

Or you can go for sublte look and do a little sequin bustier like the Nude Sequin Bodice Dress found at missselfridge.com for $105. This dress has a bit of sexy appeal and surprise by having a mesh netting neckline and having the high-low skirt. When doing a gold or softer sequin pair up your look with nude or neutral colored accessories. Gold and silver sequins pop on their own so you don't want to go to bold with your accessories.

Whether it's a family holiday party or an office party you can rock the sequins, just make sure to keep it dark and patterned. You don't want to look out of place so keep your dresses sophisticated. Darker the better since the sequins will make a subtle pop like the Dorothy Perkins Black sequin mesh dress for $46. This dress as the party effect but keeps it appropriate with the round neck. Remember necklines for office parties are important, you don't want to go to plungey and I would recommend staying away from strapless and small strapped dress. If you like strapless dresses or bustier topped dresses try the Black Sequin Pointelle 2 in 1 Dress ($145). This dress is a little more expensive but top of the dress makes it all worth it. The sequin pattern on the top makes it feel like a bustier top and keeps it young looking. If you want to stray away from a black dress try a dark brown caramel dress like the CARMAL LACE SEQUIN SHEER PANEL DRESS by Louche London ($110). The back of the dress is lace which adds a little sex appeal without showing to much. For these dress keep the accessories simple go neutral colors. If you want to funky it up a bit pick a shoe that has a little bit of glitter in it like the Topshop Strut Glitter Heel Platform Shoes ($130). Try to be cute and pair up little accents like bows that are in your dress with bows in your shoes.
