What to Wear to Your Office Holiday Party

We've talked about holiday party outfits, but neglected to give out any style advice for one, very specific event - the office party! You want to look chic, but still appropriate and professional. Enter, black pants and a black sweater. I know, it's not very exciting. But a good pair of black pants and black sweater can get you through any office situation. Do you work in a conservative office? Pair your pants and sweater with plain black heels and pearls. Is your office business casual? Throw on some brightly colored flats and a statement necklace. If you are one of the few who work in a 'creative' workplace, add some sky-high heels and long, dangly earrings. Whichever way you style them, you'll look sophisticated - even if the only thing that's glittering is your performance review!
