Carrie Bradshaw proved to us all that tulle skirts can be worn for the everyday runway but there’s honestly no better time to channel your inner princess than for a fun girls’ night out! While some tulle skirts can be a bit overpowering, this one has the perfect amount of volume to give it that twirl-ready effect. It’s fully lined with a silky lining and I love the satin waistband to give it that classy finish. The darker mauve color gives the skirt a refreshed modern vibe and I just love the way it pairs beautifully with a deep wine colored top.
I love a good bodysuit for when you need a top that stays put! To balance out the flare of a voluminous tulle skirt, a slimming bodysuit will help streamline your figure and give you that hourglass look to really elevate your look. This bodysuit is cut perfectly to not be too low cut and also have just enough give to allow for some breathing / eating room too! I love the luxe look of the velvet and it makes for a perfect holiday outfit that’s just easy and comfortable!

Express is always the best when it comes to one-and-done dresses that fit and flatter. I love the gorgeous vibrant stripes of this piece that make it perfect for the holiday season, and the addition of the front perfectly cinches everything in to give it both visual interest and a flattering shape! The v-neck isn’t too low-cut while the long sleeves make it a great option for the colder weather (the fabric is still on the thin side though so I’d recommend a coat if it’s cold — love this classy cocoon option!).
While I do normally go for petite sizing, I actually opted for the regular sizing in this dress as I found the waist to run a little high on my torso and wanted to have a bit of extra length as well. Go for a more uptown look by pairing this dress with over-the-knee boots like I did here, or go for the classic strappy sandal if you have a fancier event! Either way, you’ll definitely be turning some heads in this gorgeous stunner!

Both looks are gorgeous, but I think my favourite is the second. I’m such a sucker for a good pattern. I just love all the colours and it gives me a lingering fall feels.
