I love to dress up. I
love all things that sparkle. The
holiday season is the perfect time for both of those. I was recently invited to a casual Christmas
party. Casual smasual! I was dressing up!!! Glam and glitz on the Nikki menu, for
sure. Was I overdressed for the
party? YES. Did I care?
Not one lick. Did people notice
me and comment? Yes. But, because of my size, people usually
notice me. If they are going to look, I
might as well have the package wrapped in something worth looking at. ;-) I
had been waiting for an excuse to wear this Igigi dress and I couldn’t find a
better one than “the time to wear it is now”.
This dress was an eBay find for around $40. Have no idea how much it was originally, but
knowing Igigi it was a lot more. It is a
size 30/32 floor length silver dress with a little bit of rhinestone detail at
the neckline. The silver sparkle/bows
shoes are from Marshalls.

ReplyDelete^Loved that! You look darling, Nikki!
:D I wish I could find dresses this long and that look this great! You look wonderful! and btw, cute shoes! hehe
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the message behind this — why save your best outfits for “someday”? Style should be enjoyed in the moment, not stored away for a future event that may never come. Confidence really comes from wearing what makes you feel good right now.
ReplyDeleteThis applies so well to traditional pieces too. Mens thobes aren’t just for weddings or big gatherings — they can be styled beautifully for everyday wear. A well-fitted jubba for men has that effortless elegance that works any time you want to feel put together without trying too hard. Brands like Alif Thobes are making it easier to embrace that mindset by offering designs that feel both classic and modern.
Such a refreshing reminder to wear what you love today, not later.
