You don’t have to convince me to dress up! I have always loved the process of getting ready for a special event. Thinking about the hair, makeup, dress, purse, jewelry, and shoes gets me giddy! This holiday season you have probably seen many versions of velvet dress online, in catalogs/magazines, and in the stores. But, I am here to tell you there is another style to consider for your holiday festivities — tuxedo dressing!
There is something undeniably sexy about a woman wearing men’s evening wear! What do you think? The elegance in this black-tie style is classic, stylish and sensual. When wearing tuxedo styled looks make sure to combine a powerful patterned purse. I love my sassy skin crossbody. Also, pay attention to your hair and makeup style. This is the perfect time to play up your features in a big way (i.e. red lip, bouncy curls, and smokey eye). Getting dressed up gives you that extra style boost and confidence factor. This also applies to non-formal events. Take the time to get ready for the day. It really makes a difference!
Make an entrance in your next holiday party with a tuxedo styled dress! This look definitely sets the bar high! I have included some tuxedo inspired gowns that I know you will love! What are your thoughts about this men-inspired style in evening wear?

I think you look absolutely incredible. Then again, you are gorgeous and you would make almost anything look absolutely incredible. The black just looks amazing. Although not sure of what I think of the way the tuxedo parts of the dress flare. Mabye a little less. Nevertheless you look . . . wow.
