Holiday Dressing.
Some Fashion dos and don’ts for the season.

If you’ve ever dressed up shinier than a Christmas Tree or turned down last-minute party invitations because you had nothing to wear, you’ll know that the holiday season is loaded with chances for fashion disasters. With a little help and preparation, you can learn how to avoid common holiday fashion mistakes and look fabulous this year.
Tips to help you glitter — tastefully — this season
Avoid jewelry with a sparkly top
A teeny pair of stud earrings and one simple bangle are plenty to make a look shine. In fact, I would skip the jewelry entirely when wearing a very sparkly top. You don’t want to distract from the sparkly piece with more sparkly pieces.
Create balance with something stark
If you’re going for a sparkly top or pants, pair them with a white blouse; a glittering top looks even more fab against crisp denim.
Add metallic shoes
Gold, silver or bronze are all ideal neutrals for the winter months, and they’ll accent the shine without overwhelming it. Opt for something with a lot of naked foot, like a Stella McCartney strappy sandal.
Shine like a diamond
The reason you’re wearing sparkles is so the world knows how fabulous you are. So go ahead and be the most attention-getting thing in the room.
What not to wear to an office party
Cut-out dress
It doesn’t matter how hard you’ve been working on your abs at the gym — your co-workers never need to see your bare midsection. Save a sexy number like this for your neighbor’s cocktail fiesta.
Anything with a political message
You’re there to spread some cheer and bond with your co-workers, not air your grievances about the upcoming elections.
Visible skivvies
Do we adore the sheer trend? You better believe it. Do we endorse letting Raymond from accounting ogle your exposed bra all night? Not so fast, sister.
A Bandage Skirt
Tugging at your hemline all night isn’t just unladylike, it’s unprofessional. Save the micro-minis for the club and opt for a polished pencil skirt instead.
Body glitter
Step away from the skin sparkles and leave them in the 90s.
Shoes you can’t walk in
How are you going to schmooze with the VP of that department you’ve been dying to break into if you can’t even hang by the punchbowl without a colleague to lean on?
Too much perfume
I always splash on a more intense fragrance for evening events, but coming on too strong is a no-no for a work function.
The holiday season is so fun and joyful, and there are so many events to attend. If you’re like me, you want to look great for the holidays without spending a lot of time getting ready. I have found that these fashion tips keep me looking great during the holidays and are easy enough that I am not getting dressed for hours.
I wish each and every one of you a wonderful Holiday Season and remember, “People will stare. Make it worth their while.” — Harry Winston.
