Thanks so much for the love on last week’s posts! I’m thrilled you loved the teenager’s room, and it sounds like you found Friday’s Dressing Room Diaries as dangerous as I did! If only Texas Fall would cooperate so I could wear this sweater. I also noticed this perfect (not too oversized!) plaid infinity scarf is back in stock, and so cute with one of these long cardigans.
But today we’re talking holiday parties. And Fall weddings. Basically, all the festive events on your calendar for the remainder of this year. And I’ve got the only dress you’ll need to look smashing for every last one! Bonus: it’s under $100!
We’re headed to Colorado for a wedding this weekend, and I’ve been on the hunt for months for a dress…when it dawned on me I already had the perfect dress hanging in my closet! And since it’s finally back in stock (it sold out in a hot-second last year!), and in a slew of new colors, I’m excited to share!
Lace Midi Dress | Clutch | Cuff Bracelet | Earrings | Sunglasses | Similar Nude Heels
This lace midi dress has a definite ‘WOW Factor’ and is quite the compliment-magnet. I’ve had it for awhile, and love any opportunity to wear it.
The sturdy lace moves well, but doesn’t snag, and the lining is soft and stretchy. The length is modest, but the see-thru lace keeps it sassy. You can also adjust the straps to fit your bust size. (Thanks to the thick material and snug fit, I’m able to skip a bra.)
Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS, but it’s a snug zip, so if you’re in-between, or busty, I’d size up one.

You could style it with statement earrings or necklace, and even add a moto jacket or a fitted blazer. It’s great with closed-toed pumps, as well.

This will definitely be my go-to dress this holiday season, but if you’re looking for different styles, I’ve found a slew of great dresses recently. You can find their reviews and fit tips in my recent Dressing Room Diaries.

Lace Sheath Dress | Pink Suede Pumps
Clearly lace is a trend this season, as are deep jewel tones. I love to accent them with statement earrings and a fun clutch, and if it’s chilly, I’ll add a luxurious wrap like this one or a pop of color like this one. Even this oversized scarf doubles as a wrap! What festive events do you have coming up this season?

Cassie! I love all of these dresses! The lace fit and flare and purple one are my faves though. You need all of them. And a lot of party invites 🙂 .
Luv the black lace midi for the wedding. Lose the big clutch tho-sorry!
So many great looks (and wedding options) on you here.
The “wow” factor!
I have the lace sheath dress and love it :). That brand fits me so well! I hope you have a great time at your wedding weekend, you will look fabulous! PS you look darling in everything.
I love that you went for some of the tight fitting numbers! The body con style looks hot on your darling figure. http://www.abercrombieandfitness.com might have a little something to do with keeping you tight and toned. lol Love ya girl!

You are perfection in this dress! Sweet AND Sassy. Just like you. 😉
All these looks make me wish I had a fancy occasion to dress for, and that I wasn’t eight months pregnant! Loving that black midi lace dress, and honestly all the other lace dresses you’ve got here too! So pretty!
You are in the homestretch, girlie!!!! xoxoxoxo
I bought the fit n’ flare dress from JCP, and wore it to our great niece’s wedding on Saturday. Received soooo many compliments; thank you for including such an affordable party dress!
Oh yay! I’m thrilled to hear that! That dress is so pretty!
Cassie what a pretty dress – and so stylish. I’ve been following you for a while and I live down in Australia. Just bought the dress and had it shipped in time for our Spring/Summer. Love it for upcoming Christmas parties!
Love that lace midi dress! So sophisticated. Now it’s a terrible choice for holiday parties in my frigid Canadian fall/winter (I’ve already sworn off dresses for work until April) but it’s a great idea for the wedding season next summer 🙂 Enjoy your great Texas weather.
Hi Cassie! The black lace midi dress is perfection! What size do you wear in that one? It may be perfect for an upcoming xmas party!
Thank you! I’m wearing an XS, but if you’re in-between (or busty), I’d go up one.
Hi, My Daugter is getting married in May, I love the look of the Lace Midi Dress in Navy or Lilac possibly Coral, My daughter is having a garden wedding in Tennessee, late May is typically very warm here, I’m 49 years old and very menopausal😡I like the style of this dress not sure if it’s dressy enough for mother of the bride ? I am 5’7 about 145 lbs. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated…
Thanks,
I enjoy your blog so much, Love Dressing Room Diaries!!!
Menopausal Mary😊
Congrats on the wedding, Robyn!! While I adore that midi dress and find it appropriate for TONS of occasion, I’m not sure it’s dressy enough for MOTB. It’s mostly cotton, so it might lend itself to too casual.
