holiday dresses

Just hear those sleigh bells jinglin- ting ting ting-a-ling dooo...

It's that time of year, holiday parties are right around the corner! You want to look fun and festive, but if you're attending a company Christmas party, it's also important to look appropriate too. It always shocks me when I see someone at a company party in hooker boots, a short skirt and a fire engine red top. What do you think your bosses wife will think of you? Just saying. You probably don't see your co-workers much outside of work, so it's important you don't give the wrong impression.

If you're at a holiday party for work you want to look chic and pulled together, but wear still more fun than your regular workday. My favorite colors for holiday party dresses are black, gold, burgundy, royal blue and plum. I love a nice cocktail ring and glitzy earrings or bracelets at holiday parties too. Here are my favorite dresses to wear to holiday office party.

Remember- if you have to question whether or not it's appropriate, don't risk it. And more importantly: DON'T.GET.DRUNK.

What Not to Wear to a Company Holiday Party:
  • Low cut tops
  • Anything too short (sit down in the dressing room to test)
  • Animal Prints
  • Bright red dresses that show cleavage/leg (stay conservative with red)
  • High boots with short skirts
  • Studs
  • Anything too sparkly/rhinestony
  • Overly foofy skirts or anything that looks like it could be part of a bird
  • Too-tight dresses (it's great that you have curves, but a company party isn't the place for a body hugging dress, Beyonce)
