Instant Cheer // Puff-Sleeve Dress + Padded Headband

Nyc fashion blogger Kathleen Harper wearing a black holiday party dress.
Sometimes the right outfit is all you need to feel all the festive feels. For me, that usually means slipping into a party dress (or jumpsuit) and adding fun accessories — like a red lip and statement hair accessory. Voila — instant holiday cheer!

How's THIS for a holiday party dress? Complete with organza puff sleeves and a flattering A-line skirt, this ultra-chic frock was MADE to make an entrance — and an impression ;) It was designed by my friend Quigley Goode of Officially Quigley, and I love how it embodies her playful style in a chic, easy-to-wear way.

A splash of red lipstick and a green bag are all my monochrome outfit needs to feel Christmasy. Everything else can stay chic and black, making for a polished look with *just enough* holiday flavor.

This is my last 2019 holiday blog post from NYC! I'll be in Chicago for Christmas, and while I'm excited to have some down time with my family, I'll definitely miss all of the decorations in New York. No one does the holidays like The Big Apple!

These photos were taken at Lotte New York Palace, which is one of my favorite spots every holiday season. This was Antonio and mine's third shoot here with the tree, and honestly, it never gets old!
