Show off Some Style This Season
Regardless of the type of festivities you are planning to attend … the office party, a Sunday morning holiday cookie swap, a casual celebration outing with drinks and little dishes or an intimate cocktail party to toast the year past with your best girlfriends, you should create outfits that are flirty, fun and festive. Go ahead, dress up and show up!
Great Tips Here are some tips to make sure your holiday looks are polished and pretty: • Make sure you feel comfortable in what you are wearing. If you don’t feel at ease in the outfit you will have a difficult time relaxing and enjoying the party. It is a good idea to try on the complete outfit a few days before the event to make sure everything is in its place and you feel great wearing it. If you’re comfortable, you’re confident. • If you don’t want to spend a lot of money, then just update your classic black cocktail dress with funky patterned or sexy lace black stockings. Go bare-legged and wear a simple black heel allowing your legs to be centerstage. You may want to get two
pairs of stockings just in case you rip or get a run/snag before you leave the house. Although the patterned and laced stockings are a bit heavier then typical panty hose, they still have the potential to snag and rip. • If you bought a new pair of fancy heels, take a fork and score the bottom of the shoe. This will help give the shoe a little bit of traction and will make sure you won’t slip on a slippery floor or smooth carpet. Or, you could just wear the shoes around the house while you are practicing your dance moves. The goal is to make sure that the bottom of the shoe is a little rough to provide traction when you walk. • Like everything less is more. Don’t be afraid to go for the sparkly, metallic or shimmery, just don’t over do it. If you are going for the eye popping metallic shoes you want to keep your jewelry and other accessories simple. If it is the sparkle of your jewelry that you want to shine then keep your shoes and purse more subtle. • Don’t underestimate the power of the right undergarments. The right foundation garments whether it’s shapeware or a bra, help smooth, firm and put things where they belong. • When having difficulty finding the right holiday attire, remember the little black dress is perfect for almost any event and really flatters almost any body type.

Sometimes what you wear to the office can be perfect for the after-hours party. You can make the look more special by changing your shoes, putting on a trendier belt, letting your hair down and maybe adding a few more accessories.
