Every year I go on a hunt for the perfect holiday outfit and this years dress has topped them all. The past two Christmases my looks have been from Express. 

2015's Christmas look: Skirt was from Express & 2016's Christmas look: Sweater was from Express.

So obviously the first place I checked for this years look was Express. The first thing that drew me to this dress was the sheer mesh sleeves. It adds such a fun and flirty detail to the already gorgeous, feminine dress. 

I chose to style it with some sheer tights (my attempt at being warm in little clothing because it was absolutely freezing when we took these pictures) and black heels. To finish it off I went with a bold red lip. You could also style the belt by adding a delicate belt, black sheer tights, or even adding some booties. 

I was worried the dress wouldn't fit because sometimes Express clothing can run large on me, but this dress was true to size. I'm 5' and purchased an XS and think it fits perfectly. The dress is also currently on sale for 40% off, so grab one while you can get an great deal! It's the perfect dress for upcoming holiday parties or even NYE.
