The Solution....... One Dress for Three very different Holiday Parties
The Little Black Dress
and this particular dress works for a number of reasons...
One, the dress is black, you can't get more versatile than that. (oh look I rhymed, I'm like Dr. Seuss for fashionistas).
Two, the dress looks like it is made up of two separate pieces. This will be helpful, when trying to where it multiple times. The appearance of two pieces will conceal the fact that you are just repeating the same dress (hopefully with enough time to get it dry cleaned in-between).
Three, the form fitting skirt can really work on many different body types, because the skirt can become its own spanx too, sucking in all the finger foods you have been sneaking in between catching up with people at the parties.
Fourth, the jersey fabric allows for both evening and casual wear.
and it's just the right enough of sexy!
Friend's Holiday Party
Since it's your friend's holiday party you can be a little more funky, edgy, try out a new style, or just be your individual self. This party is neither dressy nor casual, basically what you would wear out on the town.
Outfit 1: Friends Holiday Party by styledbyroz featuring a knot ring
Get the Look-
Fun statement red lips - remember when it comes to make-up stick to either highlighting your lips (as in red lipstick) or highlighting your eyes (i.e. smoky eye make-up) BUT don't do both! So with the statement lipstick wear natural eye shadow, you can still wear dark eye-liner etc but just remember the lips are your focal point.
Top-knot hair - a great solution to dirty hair that won't cooperate. I love the top-knot bun and wear it 75% of the time, I am really becoming a master of the Disheveled look!

After Work Party (or Work Holiday Party)
Tone the sexy down with a cardigan and/or add a belt for a more work friendly look. This is the outfit you wear on the day you know you have lots of meetings and then straight from work you have to go to a Holiday networking party.
