Hey Dolls, I told you I had a special velvet holiday dress to share and here it is!  Isn’t it pretty?!  Are you crazy over the velvet trend right now too?

My Holiday Look with JD Williams

I always have at least one fancy party to go to during the holidays and I always want something really special to wear. I want to look both elegant and trendy.  I feel like I’ve hit the right note here.  What do you think? The dress, bag, and shoes are all from JD Williams!

About JD Williams

JD Williams and their sister company Simply Be have been style powerhouses in Britain for awhile and now they are spreading their fabulous shopping experiences to us in the US.  JD Williams specializes in clothing with a flattering fit in a wide range of sizes.  They carry sizes 6-26, bra sizes up to 50 inches and cup K, and a fabulous shoe selection in both wide width and wide calf.

Along with the fabulous selection and flattering styles, JD Williams offers free shipping over $60 and free returns.  And .. ready for this?  They are generously offering my readers 40% off regular priced merchandise right now with code DAWN40 …!!! (Let the holiday shopping begin!)

The Joanna Hope Crushed Velour Maxi Dress

I was happy to see that JD Williams had so many dresses that I thought would be a good choice for me. It’s no secret that I’m crazy about the velvet trend right now, so of course I had to choose this gorgeous crushed velour Joanna Hope dress.   It’s is so soft and comfortable. I love the stretchy forgiving fabric and the flattering fit and flare shape.  The dress comes in this this beautiful teal as well as black and burgundy.

Lovebirds Embroidered Clutch

How pretty is this beaded lovebird clutch? I love a chic little evening bag or clutch, but I’m not good at all at packing light for an evening out (or for anything for that matter).  I love this special clutch because it’s actually big enough to fit a phone, comb, powder, lipstick and keys!  You will see this bag again in another outfit post very soon!

Gold Block Heels

No holiday look is complete without fabulous glam shoes and I am loving these gold block heels from JD Williams.  Even thought they’re very high heeled and sexy, the trendy thick block heel makes them pretty easy to walk in.

And since I’m on a velvet kick, I picked Jessica of Jeans & a Teacup as the featured look of the week.  Isn’t she looking gorgeous in this velvet blazer?

    You look INCREDIBLE, dearest Dawn!! Velvet is indeed a crush of mine – I’ve added both a velvet jumpsuit and a velvet slip dress to my wardrobe lineup recently – and now I’m jonesing to include a pretty party dress (the teal colour of yours is SO rich looking!) in my collection, as well!! And those new shoes and bag?? You’re lucky we don’t live in the same neighbourhood, or I’d be heading over right now to raid your closet for my own holiday parties!! ? ?
