Christmas Eve

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24th

The Scenario: A Christmas Eve party where you WILL be guzzling champagne like nobody's business.

The Core Item: This Topshop party-ready slip dress, spliced with sex-bomb-lace and hey-girl-hey sequins.

O HOLY NIGHT! MY THIGHS ARE SHINING BRONZELY, FROM THE NEW SPRAY TAN I GOT TODAY!

So now that you enjoyed my abridged version of a Christmas classic, what are y'all doing tonight for Xmas Eve? I am running to a party so I'm making this short and sweet like my last Tinder date. For Christmas Eve, wear a little black dress with a lot of sex appeal. Pair it with a non-boring black pump (this one is festooned with stars!) and a kitschy clutch with a Christmas-appropriate slogan. These are all TOPSHOP because the brand has been absolutely killing it with their dresses this season (plus all items are under $100 so #winning!)

WHAT TO WEAR TO HOLIDAY PARTIES, PART 3

THE SCENARIO: The super-cool start-up you work for is throwing a holiday party that's sure to be sheer drunken debauchery.

THE CORE ITEM: Coach's envy-inducing varsity jacket.

If you work in an office oozing with creativity, this is the outfit for you. Only in an office with awesomely nerdy graphic designers and quirky bespectacled feminists would this look make sense.

I mean, a bepatched varsity jacket + flare-leg cargo-jean hybrids + glossy silver sneakers (YAS RAF SIMONS, YAS!) + a handbag festooned with mini Lego pieces spelling 'LOVE'? Yeahhhhh, only to be worn at a holiday party for a cool company - you know the one that has like a ping-pong table in the kitchen and office happy hours where they bring in kegs. Yes, kegs. 

So get ready to guzzle hangover-inducing amounts of alcohol, dance with that cute nerd in IT and swing your way around this holiday party in style.

And even though the GIF above is sooper creativez and closely resembles the experience of either dancing on a float at a summertime Gay Pride Parade or rolling face at a Miley Cyrus concert, I'm going to give you the outfit with a less bipolar background right here.

FRINGE AND FLORAL?

WHAT TO WEAR TO HOLIDAY PARTIES

It's that time of year again. The one where you drink four too many cocktails and gain seventeen pounds in a week (don't worry - you'll lose it all in the new year, or so your New Years' resolutions promise). It's holiday season again! You already bought mommy those earrings she not-so-subtly hinted at and you're already furiously fielding through gaggles of group texts about New Year's Eve plans.

And while you love Christmas and the promise of an ugly sweater party - don't worry, I'll do a round-up of all the best ugly sweaters really soon! - your company holiday party is this week!

And because you ended up ferociously flirting with that intern followed-by a classless vomit session in the bathroom (you forgot what tequila does to your liver) at last year's holiday party, it's time to redeem yourself and let those SLAY bells ring. Your #goals: impress the boss and shut that minx of a secretary up (you know that secretary - she who hyena-cackles at her own jokes and has a different Forever21 faux-fur dress for each day of the week).

Every girl in the office will be wearing some type of sparkle with some form of cheap sweater so why not opt for a fashion-forward look that might have sprung joyously from the pages of Harper's Bazaar?

A festive fringe jacket (this one is Saint Laurent) coupled with a Hibiscus-print tiered dress (thank you for the fashionz Marc Jacobs!) is the bee's knees. The juxtaposition of fringe and florals makes this look sing with style! Pair with chocolate brown booties and a Christmas-colored bag and you're ready to knock the socks off of that snooty little secretary. Goodbye socks! Farewell Felicia!
