Today I wanted to share with you a holiday party look that is office appropriate. It's hard to know what to wear to a work party - especially if you are in a hyper-male industry like I am. The best advice I ever received was to maintain the same level of 'coverage' as you would in your workplace.

This is obviously different for every woman. I am NOT here to tell others what is appropriate for them; but, if you are someone who would never wear a short skirt to work, don't wear one to the work party! Whatever is appropriate for you for work- stick with that for the work party. Once you have your general fit/coverage idea, look for more sparkly or fun fabrics to make your outfit party ready!

This look is from an outfit post I did last year - I wore this to last year's Holiday party! The shift style and slightly longer length of the dress meant I was covered as much as I am day-to-day;  but the feathery fringe and sequins made it Holiday ready! I also added this menswear style blazer... mostly for warmth! haha

Today is day 4 of our 12 Days of Giveaways (see original post here if you have missed the details!). Today's featured blogger is Jen from Fashionably Employed. Jen, like me, focuses a lot on making her work wear fashionable. She also focuses on finding companies with sustainable business practices - which is really cool to see.
Today's giveaway is in partnership with Bought Beautifully. You can read about their focus on sustainable practices that impacting positive change on their website. They will be giving away a canvas day bag created by Cause Gear. Below are a few of the other items I like from BB. Good luck!

Wednesday Wants - Holiday Items for YOU

must-have-festive-fashion

The Christmas season is almost upon us and I have seen so many great items coming up in stores that I think all you amazing, hard working, fashionista women need in your life. As I said the Elf Sweater is by far my favourite holiday item. It's actually a men's sweater, but I tried it on in stores and because of that it's longer and actually can be worn as a (short) tunic with leggings! I also think that a quality festive sweater (like this embellished mock neck one) is an essential element of every woman's work wardrobe.

Are you all getting in to the holiday spirit yet?! I must admit I started playing the Spotify Christmas music after work Monday night and am already dreaming of candy cane hot chocolate.

Two reminders before I leave you guys to dreams of the holiday season:

1) If you missed Monday's post about how you can get involved in a new work wear clothing line (that has such great pieces) check it out here!!


2) I have twitter now!! Be sure to follow me here to stay up to date on my LLB posts and fashion news. I also share my "Monday Must Read" every week! 

See you back here on Friday. Until then, have a great week!

I love a 20's-era dress paired with a menswear blazer. To me, this combination is the ultimate in chic; playing up femininity and strength. I also think this is the perfect way to do "cocktail attire" in the colder winter months.

Any fun plans for the weekend? Tonight I have a date at this awesome restaurant I have been wanting to try, so I am excited for that! I also just moved into a new apartment on Monday (not sure I have told you guys that yet!) so this weekend definitely holds a bunch of home decor/organization for me. I hope you all have a great weekend, catch ya on Monday!! xoxo
