{J. Crew Metallic Foil Jacquard Dress, Forever 21 Clutch, H&M Brooch (similar), Amrita Singh Bangles via Hautelook, Laila Rowe Necklace (similar), Elie Tahari Shoes}
My company was a finalist for a small business award (WE WON!), and I wanted something festive to wear to the awards ceremony. I had spotted this festive gold frock at J. Crew and knew it would fit the bill perfectly. A few more gold touches like this little clutch and a floral brooch at my waist helped pull the look together. I definitely felt like the belle of the ball that evening!
I really like the brooch at the waist. They are such great little accessories when you start thinking outside the box.
I LOVE your festive frock and congrats on the award! The fabric looks almost retro. Love this!
Very nice!
cute, like your brooch placement. creative!
Oh this is such a pretty dress! I love the fabric colour and texture that it comes in, definitely worthy of a celebration! The brooch at the waist is a great idea, I had never thought of it, but now I definitely have to try it!
you shine 🙂

You look darling! Love your outfit!
The Outfit is Truly Rocking, Especially The Color Combination of this outfit is wonderful!!
Brooches are a great way to spice up an outfit. I like putting them on scarves and hats or clustering a few of them together.
They sure are. I just got into them about 2 years ago.
Sooo beautiful!
I love love this dress… just saw it in store last week and almost got it!
You look absolutely stunning in this dress!
I bought this dress because you rocked it! But it is cold here – what type of legwear would you add? what color? Shoes/boots?
Awesome, that dress rocks! I’ve paired mine with really small fishnets and ankle boots with a gold detail. See a pic of the legwear detail here: https://closetconfections.com/2010/11/closet-confection-twelfth-night/.
I’ve also tried it with black opaque tights, and the shoes I’m wearing here: https://closetconfections.com/2011/11/closet-confection-color-me-badd/
If you wanted to be a bit more adventurous, I think a jewel-toned shoe/tights combo, like turquoise or emerald green, would also look divine. I did a similar look here in ruby red: https://closetconfections.com/2011/03/closet-confection-retro-metro/
I could see a sleek pair of dark brown, high-heeled, knee-high boots working as well.
