The holiday season is full of many hallmarks of the season, and to me one of them is the return of velvet! I love this fabric and texture for ribbon, shoes, bow ties, and dresses themselves. The window for wearing velvet seems fairly small, so I encourage everyone to make the most of it by wearing this plush and extravagant fabric as much as you can this season.

Here's one velvet dress in a lovely wine color that I've had my eye on since late fall. This gorgeous style is polished and lovely for office holiday parties, weddings, and nearly any semi-formal or dressy winter event.

You may have noticed that I'm becoming a fan of non-traditional styles for bridesmaid dresses, and I would love to see someone choose this velvet dress for the bridal party for their winter wedding, or a romantic style for Valentine's Day wedding. Can't you just picture it?

Since I like to make the most out of the velvet wearing season -- I'm even planning to wear some velvet jeans tonight -- I matched this dress with an assortment of more velvety accessories. Look closely, and you'll see the heels have a delicate velvet burnout pattern that is similar to the one on the clutch. It's finished off with some onyx and smokey gray accessories that have a subtle smolder of their own.

Consider this red velvet dress the kick off to the winter season. I'm also over on Bayside Bride today sharing more holiday looks, so you'll want to take a peek at those if you're in the mood for holiday dressing!  I'll be recapping those looks  throughout the week here while I'm traveling for the holidays.
