Holiday Fashion
Holiday Dressing
I’ve started browsing online for ideas on what to wear to an office holiday party in December. I don’t mean to sound like a Miz Bah-Humbug but I am quite disappointed with what I’ve seen so far. Nothing really stands out this year from the major Canadian retailers. Maybe I am not looking in the right places? However, all is not loss because I found a few things that I sort-of liked.
These two tops from Smart Set will go well with a basic pencil skirt (or black pants) and add some glamour to a pant suit.
Ruffle Racer Back Top from Smart Set SALE $25
I guess the color violet is still pretty big. I wanted to wear something blue to the party but I can’t find anything decent. The pleated dress can do without the strap (it takes away from the pleats) and the second dress is quite lovely.
Pleated one shoulder dress from Smart Set $55
Satin Dress from Dynamite $39.90
The sequin trend is still in full swing. I like this dress because it adds a little something to a basic black dress. For some reason it reminds me of something that Kim Basinger might have worn in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Because the dress is somewhat flashy, I’d keep the entire look monochromatic with smokey eyes and nude lips. If I had blonde hair, I would so wear this dress.

I’ve also been looking for a dress to for the office dinner dance…
I’ve had no luck so far finding a sultry, but affordable dress..been looking everywhere for something with a sweetheart neckline, and a bright look-at-me colour…
You’re right there hasn’t been much choice. …why can’t BCBG be more affordable..

I was thinking the exact same thing! BCBG carries really pretty dresses but they’re pricey. I am glad that you’re choosing a “look-at-me” colour! Most people wear black (from my x-mas parties) and it is always nice to see people wearing different colours. I’ll let you know if I find a deal on dresses. XOXO
