short black velvet dress Holiday Style: Hidden back zipper/clasp Black Velvet Scalloped Button Front

Basically none of them were good sales people as I felt like a Looney Tunes character after getting smashed in the head with a mallet: chirping birds and colorful spirals swirling around my head

This look is a fantastic choice for grabbing a coffee and hitting some antique shops

Id go with loose brushed out curls/waves with some dainty long or hooped earrings (but keep it understated so all eyes stay on the dress!)

"There's just something that feels so luxurious about velvet

Pair your pick with sandals for brunch, heels for date night, or a denim jacket for a casual dinner
