Holiday Parties & OOTD

On Sunday the Fiance and I went to one of his family Christmas Parties. The party was great and it was fun to catch up with his side of the family. Plus, there was great food and sweets were to die for. I brought Jello shots- and that totally counts as cooking right since it involves boiling water?

I thought this would be the perfect time to wear my F21 dress (scored on Black Friday in this post). The dress fit well to size, but I wonder how a size larger would have fit (I bought a Medium without trying it on) because seams where the skirt meet the top itch/bug all day. Next time I'll have to wear a tank or slip underneath to keep it from rubbing against me. It's also pretty short, but works with tights or leggings.


 

I also tried something new with my nails, inspired from Vanessa Hudgens in this post to play up the dress. I used the Savina's Gold Color (see my review post here) and a general black I have, I think Wet n Wild or NYC.


Here's the few pics  snapped at the party:

Thanks Kerr! I liked the one black nail too, and I've seen other girls with nails like that too, but I got some funny looks/comments at the party. Apparently, they're just not hip.

Such a cute dress! When I first saw it I thought it was from jcrew or anthro, couldn't believe it's forever 21. Love!

Cute! I so love that you brought jello shots to a family party, I would never have the guts to do the same.

Kristen said...

Thanks so much girls!

I find that F21 is best to shop online, that's where I usually find the good stuff. Shopping in store can be too crazy sometimes.

Carmen- His family always requests me to bring jello shots each year. LOL.
