Pull out the bells and whistles ladies, the holiday season is finally here. With the exception of cheesy ornament pins and sweaters, the winter holidays are always a good reason to rev your party wardrobe up to high gear. Sporting your favorite jeans and stilettos to the office party would be like an Olympic swimmer jumping into the pool wearing a life jacket, puzzling. Forget about casual safety. Render them speechless. You've just completed another vigorous year in this erratic world, so why not show your strength?
With the flexible designs of this season, the shift between day, evening, and even after-hours in the same dress is uncomplicated. You won't be stressed out of commission. From the delicate chiffon dresses at YSL to the sparkly fitted tux at Roberto Cavalli, there is something special for every woman to wear.
No longer limited to the traditional green and red, the holiday color palette has now expanded to rich colors like royal blue, burgundy, silver, and gold. And winter white is always fun, so go wild. Says top fashion designer, Derek Lam, "be... comfortable so you're truly in the holiday spirit." The magic lives in the woman who can balance glamour and comfort with high-style.
So, when the Christmas office party or the New Year's Eve bash rolls around, skip coach and go first-class with your own personal style. Let your inner "show off" shine through. There's nothing wrong in jump starting the New Year dressed to conquer.
