Last Christmas when we spent our holiday in Bali, I found the perfect work party dress. It seems like the most unusual place to find such a sparkly item, but when I saw this shift, I fell in love at first sight–regardless of where it was found. Since I love dressing up, I had no qualms with wearing this sequin number to my work party–however I knew that it is a bit of as showy number. Therefore I took two measures in an attempt to (try) calm it down: I paired it with worn-in riding boots and a denim jacket. Hopefully these two items added some casualness to the perfect work party dress. Then there were two more measures I took to match the glamour of the dress: first, I added some Indian baubles with my Rajasthani style cocktail ring and earrings. Next, after a long work of day, I layered on the kohl, mascara, and shimmery red lippy–almost as good as getting refreshed with a shower.
What do you think? Would you wear this perfect work party dress for your holiday office party?
Some Outfit Details:
Dress–New Look (Same but in black)
Jean Jacket–Gap
Riding Boots–Chevignon, Florence, Italy–eek! From 1993 (beautiful 2015 version)

First off….how impressive the age of those boots (you are the original owner?).
Second, I think this is a perfect way to tone down the sequins—however, it is holiday time and what says holidays more than sequins??
No wonder you have many red dresses…it definitely is a great color on you!
love jodie
I love this look on you…Party time!!!
I have to smile at your “toning down” measures which (in my mind) just amp up the sex appeal X10.
The contrast between the party dress and the oh-so-casual jacket and boots just make the whole look really fresh and insanely sexy…in a “what, this old thing?!” kind of way.
You are (as I have said before) Too cool for school!

Ann, you look uber cool in this. Great pairing of denim and sequins, and I love the bashed up boots in a devil-may-care style. It’s young and funky and very you x
