Holiday Party Dressing

About three weeks ago I was asked to start planning our office holiday party. I was really excited and thought that I was finally going to be doing something I enjoyed and looked forward to. After I picked a gorgeous venue and created amazing e-vites, the lack of enthusiasm about the party really put a damper on planning. I didn't blame anyone for not being excited, I didn't really want to attend myself. The party has no-w come and gone, and as it turns out that despite everyone's negativity, it was a huge success and they all enjoyed themselves.
It's that time of year, when you'll be attending numerous holiday events, whether you want to or not, it seems almost unavoidable. Make your holiday party obligations worthwhile with the most fabulous ensemble that will make you feel great and will give you something to look forward to. especially if you're not interested in the party itself.
This season, sequined dresses are always a hit, but one in a metallic or pastel will be a breath of fresh air in a room full of reds and greens. Dare to try something new and different. A blush or nude dress with your choice of how much sparkle will look so spectacular this time of year. Pair your sparkly dress with a faux fur vest or coat or accessorize with a furry or feather bag. Mixing sparkle with faux fur will combine different textures and make your evening wear more luxurious. Below is some inspiration for your upcoming holiday parties.

If you are not excited about wearing yet another dress this holiday season, change things up by wearing a chic jumpsuit. These are a major trend right now and are so versatile, they can be easily dressed up for the fanciest and most sophisticated parties. Trade your little black dress for a black jumpsuit and dress it up with the right statement accessories. If you're feeling a little more adventurous, opt for jewel tones like reds or sapphires.

Whether you choose to go with a dress or a jumpsuit, you will definitely be the most fashionable person at the party. Remember to accessorize based on the amount of sparkle in the piece you chose. If the dress is covered in sequins, keep shoes neutral, if there is little to no sparkle, add some with an embellished clutch or shoes. Whatever you decide, you'll at least have something to be excited about if you're not looking forward to the party, and then who knows, you may have a great time after all.
