You can take advantage of the current 35% off Labor Day sale at Banana Republic to pick up these options, which are great for parties hosted in your office right after work.
Dress 1:
This one from the Mad Men collection was too large on me (tip: size down from your usual BR size). The material quality and silhouette are worth the price. I think this dress would look great with pearls and can even double as a bride's maid dress ;)

This is another dress that would look great with pearls. I added the gold belt so that you could see the separation of the 'skirt' and 'top' of the dress.
How to dress for your office holiday party:
Although holiday parties bring about a more relaxed atmosphere, do not sacrifice your professional image for a party dress. A business party dress is not like shopping for prom.
Things to keep in mind when holiday dress shopping for an office party:
- buy pieces that you can wear to more places than a holiday party
- choosing dresses of good quality with a muted palette like the 2 above will allow you to change looks with different accessories
- to stand out, do not opt for the traditional holiday colors
- it is better to go with what flatters your skin tone
- play with textures
- festive dresses do not have to have glitter or metallic colors
- rather than looking like a piece of foil, leave the fun glitz for your accessories, here is where you can play up your jewelry and shoe choices
- do not show too much skin
- if you opt for a short skirt: your top should have long sleeves and you should wear opaque stockings
- if you opt for a sleeveless look with a high neck you can do your usual office skirt length
- if you go with a lower cut neck line you should opt for a longer dress hem and wear a shorter necklace to not add attention to your breasts
- go for a classy and polished look

I checked out the madmen dresses at BR as well but also had similar fit issues so I ultimately walked out of that store empty handed that day! You gave some great tips on dressing for the holiday party for work!

ReplyDeleteAdults usually go to great lengths to look good for any occasion. The fuss is even more when attending parties. We all want to dress nicely majorly to be the cynosure of all eyes and to be complimented on how great we look.
