Holiday party style guide

'Tis the season of the holiday shindig. With weekends booking up like it's nobody's business, you're going to want some different options. Most have a bit of fanciness to them, I mean come on, it is the holidays after all, but all of them could easily be toned down. Plus the last option is SUPER comfortable. 

Which look is your favorite? Do tell. 

Option 1
This look is a little 50s inspired party girl - you'll be ready to schmooze with the execs in your office and flirt with the cute guy from finance in this adorable LBD. 
Wear to: Your office holiday party
Drink: A dirty martini

Wear to: A party with your girls
Drink: Champs - All. Night. Long.

Outfit 4
This outfit looks so cozy I just want to cuddle up on the couch with a fuzzy blanket and mug of hot cocoa. Smoking slippers will keep you feeling nice an comfortable and the little bow bracelet is so stinking adorable. Keep the look luxurious with some oxblood accents (lips, nails and clutch.)
Wear to: An intimate dinner party with your nearest and dearest
Drink: Eggnog with rum

Outfit 5
A loose fitting little black dress is the perfect ensemble for an evening full of delicious foods. You can indulge without worrying about how you look! Now that's my kind of dress! Pair it with a chic leopard jacket and some black and gold accessories and a bright lip and your ready to hit the town. 
Wear to: A foodie soiree
Drink: Holiday punch

Outfit 6
If you're not in the mood for a dress or skirt I've got a glam pant outfit for you, pair leather leggings with a red peplum top and black blazer to be functional but still fancy. 
Wear to: A swanky loft party
Drink: Bourbon on the rocks (you look like a bad ass, now you've got to act like a bad ass)

Outfit 7
You'll likely be invited to one of these "ugly sweater" parties and then be in a panic to find the most hideous sweater around. Head over to Goodwill and try your chances or pick up one of these gems in advance! I've even included some tacky accessories to complete your look. 
Wear to: An ugly sweater themed party only
Drink: Anything and everything
