My husband's workplace is having a holiday party this Saturday evening. It's at a country club and there will be lots of doctors and other staff there. I'm not sure what the dress code is, but I think fancy, probably cocktail attire (but I'm pretty sure it's not black tie). I got this call from a Nordstrom manager saying "Because you're such a loyal customer, we want to offer you an appointment with one of our personal stylists and a free $50 gift card to use with her". Yikes, I guess I'm spending too much there? How embarrassing! Anyways, I said why not, and went yesterday and asked her to pick out some holiday dresses. I tried on a bunch that she suggested. A lot of them were too dark and formal for my tastes but there was one lace sheath that I liked, and another one that I picked out because I love red and it looks glam with the fur (but I am a bit concerned about the tummy on the side view and not so sure about the asymmetrical neckline). I bought both but will probably return whichever one you don't like. And also I have the option of my yellow flower sheath dress that I bought earlier but haven't worn yet (although not sure if it's dressy enough for a holiday party). I also am pulling out my faux fur cropped jacket...does it work with any of these dresses or should I try a different jacket like my black ruffled trench? Which of these dresses do you like best? Thanks for your help!
