IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE GUIDE
Holiday party invitations always seem to come with the most contradictory and confusing dress codes; everything from “formal optional” to “snappy casual.” We have even found ourselves in quite a predicament hours before an event with our beds covered with sequins, feathers, and ugly sweaters as we try to decipher just how to dress for the evening. While we can’t save you from the awkward moment when a coworker drunkenly hits on you at the office party or your mom lets it a little too loose on the dance floor, we can help you be the best dressed in the room! See outfits for every holiday occasion below that will be sure to get you invited again to observe all the shenanigans next year.

Stay warm and look cool with this outfit that will have you looking like you just got down the mountain after skiing black diamonds all day long and are now ready for your first Old Fashioned of the night.
The marshmallow world
apres ski / cold weather outfit
We have been dreaming of wearing this look since seeing our mother don her (faux) fur jacket and mini dress for our father’s office Christmas party back when we still believed in Santa. She was the epitome of class and sophistication in our eyes and we wanted nothing more than to look like her when we grew up. This year, our dreams are coming true. This will be the exact outfit we wear this holiday season, no matter what holiday party we are going to. Although, it is the perfect look for a weekend away at a ski resort or an apres ski party.
