Usually, the main goal behind dressing for a holiday party…is looking fabulous and showing off your best assets. But, when it comes to socializing with colleagues and your boss, fabulous is great - sexy could be considered inappropriate (depending on your line of work).

  If your holiday party is among friends then there is no need to stress.   Wear a dress you love and feel comfortable in, regardless of how short and revealing it is. But the office party requires sophisticated elegance.

  Now, this doesn't mean sparkle and sequins need to be thrown out the window. Being noticed at the holiday party is definitely not a bad thing, but you want to make sure you are not being noticed for indecent exposure.  Satin, velvet and shimmering sequins are a holiday do. Just make sure your neck and hemlines are modest.

A velvet or satin one-shouldered dress would make the perfect holiday

party ensemble matched with a cashmere wrap.You can pair a sequined

blouse with a black mini skirt and a soft black cardigan.

To add extra shimmer to your typical office suit, wear a blazer with a sequined or rhinestone lapel. A black velvet jacket would also be great for the office and this could be worn over a cocktail dress for subtle sophistication.

Or, find a red jumper dress and pair it with a white button up blouse for a holiday party outfit that is fun and flirty.  You could also layer a red or deep green corset over your blouse, worn with a black a-line skirt, for an outfit that is fitted, but not too revealing.

   Tights are big this season … but we're not talking about the tights that you're used to. Tights this winter have a personality that demands attention. So choose tights in intricate patterns, lace, sparkles or bright colors to give your sweet little dress some much-needed spice.

   The holidays are also the perfect time for your silver heels, those black peep toes with the oversized bows or those shoes covered in sequins. The more shimmer, the better.

...Tis the season to spread holiday cheer in a great outfit!
