Looking For A Knockout!
I think I may have hit a couple of home runs in terms of some real knockout dresses.This is such a great time of year, don't you think? Terrific chances to get out and about and show off all the latest acquisitions. I have an incredible number of party invitations, a couple of office parties, a Christmas wedding and then our own party in a few weeks. So I go in search of some knockout party dresses. The hunt is on! I'm going to run the gamut this year from a couple of total knockouts in the short mini dress category to a gorgeous formal gown for that Christmas Wedding and a very classy party dress for my on stage performance as the hostess of our party. That's not forgetting a couple of pretty TKO jobs for the office affairs where I've got to look terribly classy while not giving up my slightly risky regular persona. Quite some trick, right? Well just you wait 'enry 'iggins!
Of course, finding knockout dresses is quite a trick in and of itself. I have said it before but I rely a lot on Nordstrom's. At my local Providence Place, they have fabulous staff - terribly well trained and yet extraordinarily helpful. I've been baled out a couple of times when time had run out. Neiman's, Saks and Bloomingdales are all good too. I just wish that Providence Place had corralled them all as well as Nordstrom's. As far as current designers I like or perhaps that suit my style I look for Michael Kors, BCBG Max Azria, Tadashi, Nicole Miller and Calvin Klein,. As far as shoes are concerned Kate Spade and Martinez Valero. Just thinking about some of the knockout dresses and shoes I've laid hands on this season makes my mouth water. This week should be fantastic and next week too. I am so cranked up it's not funny! Of course the formal stuff is really interesting as well. One this year is a "do" given by one of the significant other's major clients. They throw a splendiferous party in the best hotel, two bands, awesome food and the dress competition is quite fierce. Not in the least worried because I can score a knockout in the first round with the Dolce & Gabbana Boned Lace Dress in dark green floral lace (from Neiman's) that I am going in this year. This dress is very "right" for the type of party that this is and I plan to give it a good outing that night! |
