I found it.  The perfect nursing-friendly, post-partum pooch-hiding, booty-balancing, sparkly sequin DREAM dress.  I loved this dress the moment I saw it online and ordered it immediately.  When it arrived in the mail, I tried it on for Zack telling him I wasn’t sure if I was going to keep it.  “Why wouldn’t you keep it?!” he asked.  With that reaction?  It’ll be staying in my closet, thankyouverymuch.  I know I’ll be back again and again to Miss Selfridge – one of my new favorite clothing sites (and everything is up to 50% off this weekend).  They have a ton of stylish peices (including this amazing fur stole that I bought because it matched the dress) that won’t break the bank.  Now I just need somewhere to wear it . . . along with my other 19 dress picks for this holiday season.  Read on to find YOUR perfect dress and some truly amazing Black Friday sales!

My Holiday Dress Picks

I LOVE shopping for and wearing dresses.  I have always loved dressing up and I’m often the one who shows up overdressed to something, whether it’s a party or just a girls night in.  I’ve always been drawn to sequins and sparkles and feathers and (faux) fur and I like wearing them.  Life is too short not to wear dresses that you love, right??  There’s something about putting on a dress that you feel amazing in.  I’ve collected some of my favorites here and I wish I could have them all.  (And somewhere to wear them.)

1. Ladakh Chill Out Dress I love that this dress is so modest with just a hint of skin around the shoulders.  I love the detail and the fact that it would be WARM enough to wear in UP winters.

2. Krisa Long Sleeve Ruched Dress I really liked the color of this dress and the fact that it’s nursing-friendly . . . not to mention that ruching is so flattering . . .

3. Saylor Mia Dress HELLO feathers!  I LOVE the feather detail . . . this dress would look fabulous with this purse that Shana bought me for my wedding.  (On sale now)

4. Topshop Velvet Jumpsuit  Oh how I wish my “bass” was a little smaller so I could pull off a jumpsuit.  I just think they are so darn sexy.  I’d wear it with these shoes, a blazer and a long gold lariat necklace.

5. Goldie Lace Dress I have a black lace dress like this that I wore for my engagement photos.  That dress has been an MVP in my closet.  I love the fact that it has long sleeves but is still sexy because of the lace.  I wear mine with fleece tights and black booties in the winter and strappy sandals in the summer.

6. Lovers + Friends Shimmy Dress  I love the color of this dress, but the back is the best part . . . go and look at the back.  Isn’t that gorgeous??

7. Torn by Ronny Kobo Franca Dress I’ve always loved one-shoulder dresses and the ruffle on this one is such an awesome detail.

8. Express Sequin Cut-Out Back Mini Dress Express.  50% off.  I LOVE their dresses . . . I can always buy them knowing that they’ll fit me, won’t break the bank and look great.

9. Dress the Population Sabrina Dress Sequins.  I love sequins.  This one is awesome because of the shape . . . I feel like I could easily dress it down because of it.

10. Saylor Naomi Sequin Dress Ahh, this dress.  I just love LOOKING at it.  I want to look at it in my closet.  Isn’t is just gorgeous??  I’d wear it with these shoes from Express (50% off!) and these gorgeous diamond studs.

Here’s more dresses because I couldn’t stop at just 10!
