A New Year’s or Date Outfit for the Sunday Showcase
I decided to go ahead and post the Sunday Showcase today since the 1st is tomorrow. Today, I am sharing an outfit I wore to church and to stop by a friend’s Christmas brunch after, but I think this look would be perfect for any special event in the winter. I think it would be pretty for a New Year’s Party with fancier shoes or a date night. I love it when I wear something in real life and decide to share it here on the blog too because I loved it so much.
I thrifted this Vince Camuto dress for less than $10 in Chattonooga last winter and it was just missing the matching belt which I probably would not have worn with it. I paired it with a newer pair of western boots I found at Belk. I had been looking for grey boots and booties for the past 2 to 3 years since mine were not wearable anymore. I found two pairs and was very excited: there are times when a grey pair of boots just would work better than any other color.
The dress has a little bit of a dramatic flair with fun sleeves: I didn’t take a picture of them with my arms lifted up but you can see them on my reel on IG. The belt holes allow you to choose different belts to pair with it and I chose this grey one that came in a set of 4 on Amazon.
I have been purging earrings: my style has changed lately and I am enjoying more dainty and feminine pieces. I have been dividing my days between wearing dangly ones and small ones. These were a gift from a friend a few years ago.
This sweater dress is very comfortable and lightweight enough to wear on a cool winter day. I do like that it is short sleeves as winter in Georgia can be cold or mild. This is a great option instead of a chunky sweater dress.
I think this is a reminder to get out there and go thrifting soon: I really haven’t much in the past 4 months and there are some gems out there waiting for me!

I love the sweater dress and how you styled it. I have been wanting to get one but just havn’t found one that I like. I may try to hunt a little harder and consider adding a belt & fun shoes like you did!

This one was a really neat find with the sleeve and shape of it.

I love how unique it is compared to other sweater dresses.

I love how you chose grey to accessorize this dress, but I bet there are all kinds of ways to do that. It looks navy to me, but it could very well be black. Either way, you could do cognac or even your embroidered booties! Such a fun look, Mireille!

It is a dark blue dress… yes, I think, white, black, cognac would all work with it. I think I have done my cognac boots one year, I just love how fun the sleeves are and how well it drapes.

Such a good thrifted find!! This dress is so flattering and I love it with the non-matching belt, too. I’ve been on the hunt for some grey boots as well – yours are super cute.

Thanks, Mica! I do love this dress!

I like switching up belts from what dresses come with too. I think the one you have is likely more flattering anyway. Love that dress on you. Great find!
mimifce
Yes! And I have a set in different colors so can change it up easily.
