The Perfect Party Dress + An Instagram Takeover

Party Dress Love

As a little girl, I wore a dress and tights to school every single day.  I don’t think I ever wore pants to school until I was at least 7 or 8. And even then, it was a big deal that I wore jeans for ONE day. I guess much hasn’t changed since I still find myself in dresses most days, and when I do decide to throw on a pair of pants, it feels weird.

My absolute favorite dresses to shop for are party dresses! There is something so special and exciting about getting dressed up. With so many parties for the holidays and New Year’s this time of year, there is no shortage of events to wear all my favorite party dresses to. Maggy London has the best selection of party dresses, and one of my favorites of the season is this fit and flare cutout cap sleeved number feature the most romantic abstract floral print.

For those of you who follow along on Instagram (@thelilacpress), you may have seen this dress popping up on both my feed and the @maggylondon feed! I took over the Maggy Instagram for a day to share some snaps of my favorite party dress of the season. I felt so loved yesterday by so many of you who voiced your support during the takeover yesterday – thank you!!!

There are a few more festive party dresses – just in time for NYE – that may be wandering across your Instagram feed in the near future, so be sure to keep an eye out!
