Oh hey there. Just another typical office look. No big deal.
Well, in a way, it was an office look, but it was for my black-tie office holiday party this past Saturday. To those of you who voted and helped me pick out this dress: thank you! As you can see, it worked out pretty well. Left to my own devices, I’m not sure I would have picked this one because I would have been nervous about the low back or about the sequins being scratchy (they weren’t by the way). I probably would have gone with something that felt safer to me, but I would have missed out on this fabulousness! Thanks for saving me from such a tragedy. Every woman should wear a floor-length sequin gown at least once in her life, and now I have.
Since the dress was such a show stopper, I decided not to do anything really fancy with my hair or makeup and wore minimal jewelry. I didn’t need anyone’s votes to decide that, so I can take at least a little credit for this look, right?

What a seriously gorgeous dress! It’s so shiny & sequiny. Not to mention it’s the perfect length. :]

Sarah you look spectacular! I so wish I had a reason to wear a dress like this, it’s just beautiful. Hope you enjoyed the party looking like the belle of the ball 🙂
This dress is gorgeous!! Champagne sequins are the best sequins! 🙂

Gorgeous! I’m glad you went with that dress, it is beyond spectacular and you wear it like it was custom made for you!
(I mean, seriously, I rarely post on blogs and never have on yours..but had to come out of hiding to tell you how amazing you look)
You’re the best! Thanks so much and I’m glad I inspired you to stop lurking around here silently (but that’s totally OK too).
Absolutely perfect! I hope you got a lot of compliments on it.
Well you look incredible. Seriously – so gorgeous!!
Wow!!! I never comment, but had to on this one. Stunning!!!
Thanks Lauren! Feel free to speak up with your compliments more often 🙂
Wow… that is a stunning dress! I think I’d just twirl around in front of some lights for a while and sparkle!!!
WOW! Great job, Sara! Technically, you did pick this dress since you made the list of contenders, right? See how I did that? ?
Love love love it!! I love Rent the Runway for occasions like this… I actually rented a dress for my reception dress at my wedding!

Isn’t RTR just perfect! The dress is stunning (as are you in it) and you didn’t have to “buy” the dress since you’d probably not wear it again. jodie

So glad you mention the scratchy issue! I feel like every time I have worn a dress or top in full sequins I end up having a horrible rash under my arms where they rub on the sequins!! It keeps me from buying a ton of really cute outfits! Glad to know at least someone has figured out how to make one that is comfy!
I’m sure it depends on the size/shape of each person’s shoulders, upper arms, and ribcage, but I didn’t have a problem. A swimmer might have a rough (literally) time with this dress though.
This is just GORGEOUS! Love it.
This dress was MADE for you! Beyond gorgeous!
