Zaful Velvet Robe Dress

My mom came to visit for the holidays and we were afforded the opportunity to spend lots of quality time together. We shopped. We chatted. She cooked and I took tons of pics of her doing so. We watched old videos and laughed till we nearly peed our pants. All in all we had an amazing time.

On January 1st we hosted a small dinner party at my house so she could meet my DC family aka my closest friends. It was also Haitian Independence Day so we made a full Haitian meal including soup joumou, our traditional butternut squash soup that we eat on New Year’s Day. If you want to read more about the history of this soup please check out my instagram. The food was a hit and my friends loved my mom and she loved them more.

Although it was a casual dinner, I wanted to dress up. So dress up I did. This Zaful Velvet Robe dress was the first thing that came to mind when I wanted comfort and style. It is the perfect holiday dress but I will be rocking it way after this season. I will wear it with sneakers for casual chic or top it with my biker jacket. I will even wear it with skinny jeans or a lighter color pair of leather skinnies. This dress just does it!

I purchased it in a size Large and even with my 34D self, the top needed lots of safety pins. I easily could have gotten a M but I was worried. If you are stuck on what size to get I can tell you that I easily have about 2 inches loose in the waist area and my waist is a 32. The arms are a teeny bit tight but please remember I have 12inch round arms. I give you my measurements so you can purchase knowing it will fit you.

Alot of my current favorite garments are from Zaful. The quality is pretty great for the budget friendly price and I cannot wait to style some of the pretty amazing pieces I recently got.
