With the holidays in full swing, finding outfits to wear to numerous parties and events can get overwhelming. It can sometimes feel like you're running out of options.

That's why I'm partnering with Tobi, an online retailer that sells clothing, shoes and accessories from brands like Steve Madden and Dolce Vita. Over the next two days, I'll be revealing more looks from Tobi's winter dress collection, so be sure to check back here for more fashion updates!

The dress I'm wearing below has reawakened my love for pastels. Though they are generally summer colors, they can be paired well with the monotone background of winter, especially in Chicago.

With a lavender lace overlay and beige mesh, the dainty style is perfect for dressy occasions. It has a built-in bra and hugs my body perfectly. (I'm wearing a small.) I paired it with simple jewelry like my new fav Swarovski ring and an Henri Bendel bangle. I kept the shoes simple as to be sure not to clash with the colors in the dress.
