For what to wear when the attire is Black Tie Optional, we like to wear something short and special. At Nordstrom we found the party perfect festive frock, ML Monique Lhuillier Illusion Lace & Jersey Sheath Dress $398. To accessorize, we added the lace-inspired Alexis Bittar ‘Lucite® – Winter Deco’ Drop Earrings $275 and Tasha ‘Princess’ Clutch $298, These Manolo Blahnik ‘Hangisi’ Jeweled Pump $935 are an investment in chic and classic dressing, that you can wear year after year. We feel the same way about the luxurious Sofiacashmere Genuine Fox Fur Trim Short Cashmere Cape $1395 which continues the high-styled elegance of the evening ensemble.
