‘Tis the season.  Thanksgiving is officially over, and we've all got a million holiday party plans on our calendars.  If you're like me, finding the ultimate holiday dress is a goal every year.  I'm always on the hunt for a versatile dress I can dress up or down, and one that I can wear for a ton of special occasions, just switching out accessories.

On a search for a cute long sleeve holiday dress? This body con dress is SUPER flattering and a great price!

This year? I started looking early (for once) and when I asked a number of friend for their best suggestions on holiday dresses…..the same dress came up over and over again.  In fact, it was really interesting to me, because whatever body type this dress almost always came up.  And I can see why? As I shopped and shopped, I couldn't find better than this simple long sleeve holiday dress.   It's a killer price, flattering, comes in a ton of colors and can be dressed up and down easily.  Does it get ANY better?!?

The Best Long Sleeve Holiday Dress

SHOP THE LONG SLEEVE HOLIDAY DRESS OUTFIT:

Hang on to your party hat, because I'm about to sell you on this dress.  Seriously, I can't believe I waited this long to try it out.  It's literally the long sleeve holiday dress everyone needs to own.  This $49 dress is comfortable and mega flattering.  Not gonna lie, I was apprehensive.  My pear shaped body doesn't always look it's best in a body con dress.  This one? Thick enough fabric to not show lumps, and the ruching is SUPER flattering.  Bonus? It comes in a ton of colors and it's under fifty dollars.

I debated sizing on this one.  I wear a size 10-12 normally, and couldn't decide between a medium and large.  The large turned out to be perfect, I could have squeezed into the medium, but the large was comfortable enough to wear for an entire holiday party without complaining.

There are a ton of ways you could style this simple long sleeve holiday dress.  I loved throwing a fun shrug over it (the one I'm wearing from Cabi Clothing is out of stock, but I love this option) and pairing it with block heels.  You could also do classic heels and pearl earrings, or even boots and a shawl for a more casual party or a day of holiday shopping.

My favorite part? I brought this dress along when we traveled for Thanksgiving and it barely wrinkled.  It's perfect for bringing on trips.  And it can easily be worn after the holidays.  Switch out those heels for wedges and a cardigan and it can be worn in warmer weather.

So there you have it.  My vote for the best Long Sleeve Holiday Dress.  If you buy it, PLEASE send me pictures, I love seeing it on different body types!

The way I laughed out loud when I spotted this lit The way I laughed out loud when I spotted this little area during our day at Knott’s Berry Farm……. (teachers, you get it right?!?)I mean, HAD TO TAKE A PHOTO (or 20). This weekend was the start of Peanuts Celebration at Knott’s Berry Farm and we spent a day immersed in all things Snoopy.  From the rides in Camp Snoopy to the adorable new shows to the ACTUAL PIGS in Pigpen’s Pig Pen there was so much to do…..I’m so glad that Knott’s invited us to check it all out!Now, who is YOUR favorite Peanuts character? (Lydia’s is Sally, she’s actually playing her in a school play TODAY — the timing, right?) @knottsberryfarm #knottspeanutscelebration
✨ Happy 100th Disney!✨⠀ ⠀ 💜The people a ✨ Happy 100th Disney!✨⠀⠀💜The people are the magic.  Yesterday was filled with friends and food and fun and feet (sore ones after walking around from dawn to way past dusk)…….and as Lydia and I tucked ourselves into bed last night……I felt so much gratitude.  Our happy place has brought so much joy into our lives and so many people that enrich each moment.⠀⠀✨The Disney 100 Celebration will be happening ALL YEAR, and I feel like we still have so much to see and do.⠀⠀💜Favorite Moments and Experiences from our day one of Disney 100:⠀🚂riding Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railroad: I avoided ALLLLLL spoilers (there are some in this carousel btw), and had seen NONE of the attraction until we stepped into the queue…. it was absolutely adorable and I can’t WAIT to ride it again, plus when we exited the ride…..some of the team that created it were at the exit and seeing their smiles? ABSOLUTE DISNEY MAGIC.⠀🌅seeing the sun rise over the castle bright and early⠀💕running into friends every 5 minutes, it felt like a giant reunion⠀👗characters in their costumes, not going to lie….we didn’t wait in lines for them….they were length, but we gave a wave as we walked by and they looked stunning⠀⠀✨When is your next Disney trip???
🏰Dreaming of Dancing in Front of the Castle for 🏰Dreaming of Dancing in Front of the Castle for Spring Break?🏰⠀⠀📷A few castle photo tips:⠀1️⃣side, not center……both sides of the castle have lovely little spots that provide a great view of the castle and moat, but avoid the crowd (plus you can get some nice flattering light into the mid morning or in the late afternoon)⠀2️⃣want to be closer to the front? Sit on the back of the benches built into the moat entrance, you’ll be a bit elevated, it gives a great angle and a better view of the castle herself ⠀3️⃣if you REALLY want that walking into the castle shot…..this is something you can do during early entry time if you are staying on property ⠀⠀🧳Now, let’s talk Spring Break tips in collaboration with @themeparkfrog :⠀🚨This is IT.  Red alert.  If you’re hoping to visit the Happiest Place on Earth for Spring Break….BOOK IT NOW.  Spring Break is around the corner, and the more you plan, the happier you’ll be (trust me).⠀⠀To do (in order):⠀1️⃣book your hotel, theme park tickets and rental car: for the best deal, you can do this as a bundle with Undercover Tourist (you’ll save a TON this way….I’m sharing more in stories)⠀2️⃣once you have your trip dates….book dining.  At Disneyland you can book 60 days in advance (which means, NOW and coming up very soon for Spring Break).⠀3️⃣ If you want to do something special like the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, you can ALSO book that 60 days in advance.⠀⠀✨So, are you ready? Blue skies, sunshine, and Disney Magic guaranteed. What are YOUR spring break plans?
