Holiday Party Fashion: 9 Pieces, 4 Outfits

by Kathryn Achenbach

So many holiday parties, so little time to shop for them.

Fortunately, with a handful of key pieces, you can mix and match to create several looks, taking you from family gatherings to office mixers.

Office Cocktail Party
Consider a sequined, metallic skirt your holiday fashion workhorse. For fancier affairs, pair it with a top in a similar shade and accessories with a pop of color.

Book Club Tea
Dress down a spangly skirt with a knit sweater, flats and a bright necklace. Black opaque tights will make the look even more casual and add warmth.

Girls’ Night Out
Make a statement while staying casually chic by pairing glittery gold with denim and a fabulous pair of heels.

Family Get-Together
A lightly embellished sweater, dark jeans and a hint of sparkly jewelry look festive but not too showy for more casual events
