Love love love this velvet dress for the holidays.
Velvet instantly makes me think of a few things: Royalty, 1970s paintings on velvet canvas and of course, the holidays. This season, velvet is all the craze. Velvet holiday dresses, velvet leggings, velvet blazers, velvet accessories, in all colours of the rainbow.
Cynthia Steffe Cap-Sleeve Crushed Velvet Dress is on the top of my list. The silhouette is very fitting to another trend this season, Ruching. The cinched waist, creates beautiful drape lines and softly defines your waist, all the while, hiding holiday dinner tummies. Available in this rich, deep crimson, accented with angled exposed zipper pockets and an exposed back zipper (another ‘it” trend this season).
The runner up: Victoria Secrets’ Velvet One-Button Tuxedo Jacket. (It surprised me too!). Perfect fit for special occasions, like the work party, or a cas’ weekend brunch with the girls. And can easily be switched up, for an evening cocktail for a date.
My Velvet Haiku:
Velvet. My new love.
Timeless, perfect addition.
Don’t wear head to toe.
