What to wear to that Holiday Party!

With the holiday season upon us, it's the month for parties, parties, and more parties!  And with that comes the stressing over what to wear!   We've all been there ladies!  The difficulty intensifies when it's time for the office holiday party, because we want to look festive and glamorous, but we also need to look appropriate for an office event.

I've been to many office parties over the years and I've seen it all!  From women who make no effort whatsoever and look nothing but drab and frumpy, to women who go all out with no rules and let it all hang out!  Well neither one of these extremes is acceptable if you ask me, so why not try looking glam & chic?

It really isn't difficult and you'd be surprised at what you can do with what you already have.  You don't necessarily have to buy a new outfit, but can very easily re-vamp something you already have.  If you already own a little black dress (and most women do!), but it's a very simple dress with no embellishments, there's so much you can do to make it look va va voom!  You can add some statement jewelry like the collar necklaces or cuff bracelets that are currently in, or add a dazzling brooch to add some bling!  You can add a great wrap in a bright hue to add a pop of color, or wear a pair of sparkly pumps or tights.

Remember that red is also a great color for this season, so if you have a red dress or a red top, now's the time to rock that look!  You can never go wrong with red for a party!

If you're not one to feel comfortable wearing dresses but you have a great pair of black pants, just add a top with a bit of sparkle, like a sequinned tank or a sweater with a great sparkly design.  The key to any of these looks is accessorizing!  Accessories can completely transform a look and don't cost the earth.

Add some glamour with your makeup too.  A red lip is all the rage right now, and there is a different shade for every skin type so you won't have a problem finding the right one just for you.  If you're not comfortable with a dramatic lip color, try the cat eye look.  It's sexy and will really make your eyes the focus.

But remember ladies, if you are attending a work party, don't wear something that shows either too much leg or cleavage - it's not appropriate and usually doesn't look good.  You don't need to show everything off even if you do have ample cleavage or great legs!  Remember - a little goes a long way!
