Well, its the holiday season! And that means party time! And the big question… What to wear? If you husband is anything like mine, he gives you helpful hints for his holiday party at work like "It said 'fastive attire.' I think I'm supposed to wear a suit." Which is completely unhelpful to me. So lets help each other out and throw out some ideas for what we can wear to these type of things:
For the Casual Holiday Party: Go with dark jeans or dress pants and heels. And as for the top – this is where we can have some fun! Be as conservative or as festive as you wish! Some ideas… 1. Pima Cotton 3/4 Sleeve Sweater by LOFT (was $39.99 now $19.99) love the little flower!! 2. Cable Sweater Dress by LOFT ($89.50) HOW cute are those boots?? LOVE the brown boots/grey sweater combo! 3. Ruched Short Sleeve Top by Ann Taylor ($38) Pretty silver color!! 4. Night sparkle tee by Madewell ($198) Pricey, but cute. 5. Flower Vendor Top by Anthropologie ($78) I love this color! The coral is such an unexpected holiday color! 6. Halter Top with Rosette Trim by Ann Taylor ($78) I love fushia at Christmas. 7. Allover Sparkle Tee by White House Black Market ($68) Wouldn't this look great under a cardigan with jeans for everyday? 8. Hints Of Mesh Tee by Anthropologie ($68) I may have to buy this one. Love, love, LOVE!!!
For the Not So Casual Holiday Party: You could still wear dress pants, but a pencil skirt would be even more fabulous! And its a terrific excuse to wear a dress 🙂
1. Petal Sleeve Cowl Neck Top ($68) and Metallic Lace Skirt ($108) by Ann Taylor How gorgeous is that??? 2. Tweed Sheath Dress by Ann Taylor ($148) This is almost exactly the dress I'm wearing to my husband's work party this year, right down to the boots. Isn't it cute? 3. Sleeveless Silk Wrap Top by Ann Taylor ($88) This is so elegant! 4. Ruffle Neckline Sweater Dress by LOFT ($79.50) Again, loving the gray and brown combo. 5. Tuck Shift Dress by Topshop ($80) Love that detailing. 6. Short Sleeve Wrap Top by Ann Taylor ($78) Oh, that necklace!!
For the Far-From-Casual Holiday Party: Or New Years Eve. GO for it!! 1. Ruby Ponte Sheath Dress by White House Black Market (was $148 now $69.99) Gorgeous! 2. Strapless Grosgrain Satin Dress by Ann Taylor (was $228 now $99.99) I LOVE THIS! Look at that fabulous necklace! 3. New Years Tweed Dress by Anthopologie ($268) OOO – fancy! 4. Bow Mini Tube Dress by Arden B ($89 now $71.20) So fabulous. Would be great for New Years Eve as well! 5. Ruffle bib dress by Gap ($59.50) Super cute – and a terrific price! 6. Draped Sheath Dress by The Limited ($89.90 now $62.93) Cute neckline – and love the little belt! 7. Scoopneck Ribbed Sweater Dress by Ann Taylor ($128) I am seriously in love with the ankle boots and tights look.
