Shine Bright Like a Diamond: Tiered, Ruffled, Sparkly Dress...

Hello and Happy Friday! 

I have been waiting FOREVER to share this dress with you! 

I got this back in September on Boohoo. I thought it looked like a fun dress for the holidays and -as the case with many pieces I get- I had a pretty clear idea of how I wanted to style it. 

I had a clear idea of the pictures I wanted to take with this dress. And I have a pretty clear idea of places I will be wearing it this holiday season! 

I was surprised when I tried it on that it is a bit of a heavier material than I imagined it would be. Which worked out nicely because it was cold when I took these pictures! 

I was drawn to it because of the shimmery sequins -of course!- but also the design. I love the tiered ruffles. Ruffles, in my opinion, always put me in the mood for a party! They add a bit of character and texture to looks, this dress is a prime example!  

The red lip and the red blazer were a lovely dash of color! 

I love taking pictures this time of year! Christmas decorations make for such great backgrounds! 

I am so grateful that people are patient with me while I take these pictures. As much as I try to stay out of the way, I'm sure I have been in the way sometimes. Thankfully everyone has been pretty kind to me or pays me no attention -which truthfully is even better! (I'm a little self-conscious when I take these pictures!) Thanks to everyone I encounter while I'm out shooting for being so nice to me! I really appreciate it! 

Thanks for reading! I hope you all have a great weekend!
