Holiday Cocktail Attire

The holidays are officially in full swing, which also means holiday parties are in full swing! The best part about holiday parties in my opinion is getting to dress up. Break out those sequins that have been sitting in your closet since New Year’s Eve last year. Dust off that cocktail dress you love but never have an excuse to wear. Put on that red lipstick you only wear on the occasional date night. I mean, heck, hrow on a sequin blazer over your cocktail dress with a red lip!! Whatever it may be I love getting a little more dressed up than usual for all the holiday gatherings! Last week we had J’s company Christmas Party, which was casino themed and cocktail attire. I panicked a little because I honestly don’t have that many nice dresses. He also sprang it on me VERY last minute. Luckily my friend rescued me and let me shop her closet. I picked out this LBD that is perfect for any holiday party you may be attending. The silhouette is super flattering and I love the little bit of lace at the bottom. Since it’s black you have a blank canvas for shoes, jewelry, makeup and coats. As you can see I paired mine with red lips and my favorite leopard coat. Total statement piece!!

I’ve linked this dress and a couple other pieces I think would be perfect for holiday parties. (I decided not to link any sequin pieces just yet. I’ll save all those bad boys for my NYE post.)

Dress: Lulu's (also love this, this, this, this & this) | Jacket: Old (very similar here, here, here & here) | Shoes: Steve Madden | Sunnies: Sonix old (similar here) | Lipstick: Sephora Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick in Always Red

Have y’all been to any holiday parties yet? If so, what did you wear? I’d love to hear all about it in the comments.
