Major maxi
A maxi skirt is a dramatic but polished way to pull together an outfit. This fabulous Alexander Wang velvet skirt is on sale for $128 and will last you for years to come. The best thing about this look is that you can pair it with a simple white button-down shirt that you already own, add some sparkly accessories, and you’re done!
Glitter gal
Nothing says holiday more than sequins! OK, fruit cake might, but besides that, sequins are it! I love the idea of pairing this gold pencil skirt with a plaid shirt to wear to an office party for a more wearable look!
Fancy pants
Sometimes you just need to wear a pair of pants, and if that’s the case, make ‘em fancy! There are endless options this season with jacquard prints being all the rage. I love this pair because they have metallic detailing to make them feel a little more special. Pair them with a silk cami, blazer and sparkly earrings for a nighttime look!
Chic sequins
OK, OK, you simply cannot talk holiday parties without a full-fledged sparkly dress! It’s a lot of look, so to keep it chic, choose one with a higher neckline and keep your jewelry simple. You may even want to try pulling your hair up into a top-knot to keep the focus on the dress. This inexpensive Zara find could work for Christmas, New Year's or both!
