Two things about this dress:

1. I forgot to include it in last week's holiday dress edit. It somehow missed my radar when I was editing and uploading the photos, but since it's probably one of my favorite all time party dress silhouettes (you can never go wrong with a little fit and flare), I figured I would share it a few days late, in the event perhaps you too, have a few last minute holiday parties to throw yourself together for.
2. That brings me to my next point -- this very dress is ON SALE for $100, giving you all the more reason to find a reason (or to make up a reason) to dress up this week. We're less than 10 days out from Christmas now, folks, which means if you're not holiday shopping, you're probably sipping egg nog at some party or other. Or perhaps both, simultaneously.
3. And three, even though I said I only had two, my mother gave me this pearl necklace years ago now, a few Christmases back and while I don't wear it hardly enough, I have to say, it's been my go-to for party looks, especially with wide open necklines like this strapless number. It's dainty, accentuates your neck and draws attention to your decolletage -- all wins in my book, not to mention the fact, it reminds me of my mom every time I wear it.

Also, stay tuned for our Holiday Dress Edit video, coming later this week! If you liked the photos, I think you're going to love the video!
