Strutting in this holiday frock creates such an amazing juxtaposition of feelings. On one hand I feel like all I need is a tiara and lots of jelly bracelets to fully live out all my pretty pretty princess dreams. On the other hand, I feel like just by wearing this I suddenly have lots and lots of money and lots and lots of scantily clad man servants to do my bidding. It&#8217;s powerful to feel, at the same time, like a rich sexy baroness and an innocent nubile princess. In short, this dress is my made of my dreams and I love it.<\/p>\n<h2>About this Dress<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2807\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Plus-Size-Holiday-Outfit-Ideas-SimplyBe-Velvet-Tulle-Dress-2-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"plus-size-holiday-outfit-ideas-simplybe-velvet-tulle-dress-2\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Plus-Size-Holiday-Outfit-Ideas-SimplyBe-Velvet-Tulle-Dress-2-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Plus-Size-Holiday-Outfit-Ideas-SimplyBe-Velvet-Tulle-Dress-2-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Plus-Size-Holiday-Outfit-Ideas-SimplyBe-Velvet-Tulle-Dress-2-768x960.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/h2>\n<p>The bodice of this<a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplybe.com\/en-us\/products\/little-mistress-prom-dress\/p\/SL917?plpV=&amp;mainSearch=true&amp;outletSearch=false\" target=\"_blank\"> Simply Be holiday dress<\/a> is this amazing minx colored velvet and the bottom is composed of two layers of\u00a0 corresponding soft mesh tulle (not the scratchy kind). The skirt is lined, which is nice, because I like to protect the nether regions from public appearances. I&#8217;m not famous enough where stuff like that is acceptable. I also love how the waist band of the dress has a delicate flourish of pleated tulle. It&#8217;s a well thought out detail.<\/p>\n<p>SimplyBe is an international store so if you shop with them you&#8217;ll want to place orders by December 11th for standard delivery and December 14th for expedited shipping.<\/p>\n<h2>How I Styled This Look<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2808\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Plus-Size-Holiday-Outfit-Ideas-SimplyBe-Velvet-Tulle-Dress-1-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"plus-size-holiday-outfit-ideas-simplybe-velvet-tulle-dress-1\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Plus-Size-Holiday-Outfit-Ideas-SimplyBe-Velvet-Tulle-Dress-1-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Plus-Size-Holiday-Outfit-Ideas-SimplyBe-Velvet-Tulle-Dress-1-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Plus-Size-Holiday-Outfit-Ideas-SimplyBe-Velvet-Tulle-Dress-1-768x960.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/h2>\n<p>Given the dress was such a stunner already, I tried to keep the finishing touches light. I added a black leather obi belt to cinch and emphasize my waist. I donned a pair of comfortable, but fancy wedges I&#8217;ve had in my closet for years. The added just the right amount of sparkle.\u00a0 To add a touch of luxe, I added a gorgeous gray faux fur stole (sadly all sold out, but I love <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2g7KHl4\" target=\"_blank\">this alternative<\/a>),\u00a0 also snagged online at SimplyBe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">To top off the look, I added a rebellious necklace- something to make sure the final result wasn&#8217;t overly cutesy. The spiked necklace reminds people that while I am all luxe and adorable, I&#8217;m still a kick butt femme fatale who don&#8217;t take no crud from no one. The end result is the perfect girls night out look.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"> Special thanks to SimplyBe for sponsoring this post.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 36px; left: 20px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of SimplyBe&#8217;s winter campaign, I had the opportunity to style this amazing sugar plum magic wonder dress.
