Serving Looks for a Holiday Happy Hour

Can you believe 2017 is out the door and 2018 is knocking?! I mean seriously with the holidays here that means parties galore!  This past week I met up with some friends visiting from every corner of the country for drinks!

When us girls get together we always like to put in a little extra effort into what we’re wearing, I mean there will most certainly be pictures taken!

Let’s Get Into this Look

I found this dress in Forever21 (similar) a few months back when shopping for something to wear on my birthday.  The black is sleek and the velvet finish is a bit sexy and fun! Anyone who knows me knows I’ve been very into he midi dresses, hitting the mid calf or knee at the most perfect spot!

I paired the dress with this black leather moto jacket (similar) that I’ve had for many years also purchased at Forever 21! With the fun zipper details, I tend to wear this jacket with the sleeves pushed up almost always.

I finished the look with a few darling details.

Seeing with the black theme I wore these Aldo shoes that Jeff purchased me a few years back when I graduated from the University of Central Florida (if a man buys you shoes and great ones as any gift, when he proposes say YES!) The weaving detail is extremely edgy and adds a touch of fun to any look!

My necklace is the perfect statement necklace, keeping it dainty and feminine in a look that screams edgy.  The necklace is from 7 Charming Sisters and for those of you who don’t know 7 Charming Sisters is the brainchild of seven “work sisters” who have been colleagues for years. The 7 sisters are: Paula: the Elegant Classy chick, Kim: the Vivacious Life of the Party, Jennifer: the Dedicated Fashionista, Donalda: the Flirtatious Social Butterfly, Jessica: The Smart and Sexy Nerd, Kimberly: the Cute Girl Next Door, and Lastly, Melissa: the Sporty Super Mom!To Look a little deeper 7 Charming Sisters  has a deep commitment to helping those with disabilities find jobs and employs disabled people in their studio.  Many of their Handmade pieces are handcrafted by those with intellectual disabilities who earn commission!

The handbag that I’ve been carrying lately is my Henri Bendel Carlyle Satchel in the Embossed Croc finish in black of course (no longer available) (similar here).  This handbag is perfect because its large enough to fit everything I need (camera included) and although is a top handle satchel also comes with a cross body strap!
