This holiday party outfit with Express is one of my favorite outfits to date! I love how festive this red lace dress is, along with some subtle accessories. I can’t believe that this time of year has creeped up on us so quickly! Where has the time gone?!  I’m not complaining though, because the holidays are always SO much fun.  There’s so much to be thankful for and I love getting to hang with my friends and family this time of year.

My holiday parties always start around mid-November, so I tried to be prepared when it comes to outfits.  My friends and I tend to always combine some of our holiday parties with engagement parties {since it seems like everyone gets engaged this time of year}, and it actually tends to be quite fun! Why not celebrate love and holidays together, right?

Express currently has the BEST holiday party outfits I’ve ever seen.  Trust me — you’ll want to check them out over here.  There are so many fabulous sequin numbers that I’d love to get my hands on.  Although the pretty sequin dresses from Express were calling my name, this little red lace dress caught my eye the moment I visited the store.  Have you ever had one of those moments before? When something immediately catches your eye and you know that it’s going to fit you perfectly and that you should just stop looking for anything else.  Well, this little red dress was one of those cases! I decided to pair it with some classic black pumps, a staple black foldover clutch, and some crystal statement drop earrings {to give the outfit some glitz and glam}! Also, you can’t go wrong with a bold red lip this time of year.

There are always so many great parties to go to this time of year, and this holiday party outfit from Express is definitely making the cut.  This dress is also available in a few other colors {like black and navy}, so I’d definitely check those out over here!

What are some of the plans you’ve got going on for the holidays? Do y’all have any good holiday party outfit ideas?

A big thank you to Express for sponsoring this post.  As always, all opinions are my own.
