Velvet came around in a big way this fall and doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime fast. I’m actually wearing a red velvet dress for NYE- so much more comfortable than sequins let me tell you! I started noticing blue velvet and how rich it was before my friend Jenn’s wedding. I wore this dress with a killer pair of gold strappy heels, but I was considering a pair of block heel navy velvet pumps- I looked around a bit but decided since the rental was about how much I would have spent on a new dress, I didn’t need to splurge on new shoes as well.
Unlike blush velvet (which I still love, by the way), the dark blue/ navy family has an elegance about it. From the age of about 4-13, my Christmas dresses were black, navy, or hunter velvet, so I always associate dark velvet with getting fancy for Christmas or New Year’s Eve. However, I like the idea of an oversized velvet t or funky boots just as well as a festive frock. How do you velvet?
