I Have a Capsule Wardrobe, but These Party Pieces Lured Me In
When it comes to shopping for party dresses, I tend to hold back. I like to plan my wardrobe and buy minimalist pieces I can wear over and over again, whereas shopping for specific events can sometimes lead to impulse purchases I'll only live to regret. But lately, I'm starting to rethink my ways.
While I stand by my wardrobe of basics and timeless pieces, when it comes to events—say a work Christmas party or New Year's Eve—I'm often found with nothing exciting to wear. After all, it's not exactly fun to go to an amazing summer party in the same black dress you've worn to every other event in 2018. So, this party season, I'm going to branch out and purchase a party outfit people will remember me by.
