what to wear to a holiday party! (holiday party dress codes de-coded)

If you haven't had a Christmas party yet this year, it's likely that you will have one to attend soon. And whether it's with the big-wigs from work, your huge extended family, your saucy and stylish wine club (I had that one last week!) or your beloved book club cronies (I have that one this weekend!) you want to look your best and have fun doing it.  Some events are more casual then others but I always say there is no reason not to bring the glam up a notch or two. It's the holidays! Time to celebrate and sparkle a little (or a lot)!

Festive-fun is perfect for your annual white elephant party with friends, the blow-out cookie exchange or the neighborhood shindig that you look forward to each year.  This outfit is a bit on the casual side but definitely festive.  Add a pair of cozy black tights if the weather is frightful and a white or black wool coat! (above: dress, necklace, wedges, lip gloss, clutch)


This simple but glamorous look is perfect for a night out on the town for a party at the best steak house or cozying up to your boss and co-workers for the yearly bash.  It's simple and full of classic pieces that you may already own! (above: dress, fur collar - or cheaper option!, pumps, blush, clutchbracelet)


This is one of my favorite looks because it's warm and casual (hey, I hate to be cold, even whenI am celebrating!) but it's way stylish.  A gorgeous white sweater and leather pants (or another pair of black skinny pants/jeans) with some killer heels and wild earrings. It's so easy and quite festive!  Add some red lips and you are hot-to-trot! (above: pants, sweater, shoes, clutch, lips, earrings)

see you around...
