HOLIDAY PARTY

Who doesn’t love a good holiday party? One filled with food, drinks and of course the stylish guests! Even though I technically “worked” at the holiday party, it still was an enjoyable experience. One were I got to network with individuals in the fashion industry and witness all the dazzling party ensembles (which was totally my favorite part!). I currently intern at a personal styling company and helped with their annual Christmas party. My job was to “man the door” or check the guest list, which I was totally down for because I would get the chance to meet everyone who entered the party.

My outfit for the party was so last minute, only because an outfit I ordered online two weeks ago did not arrive on time! So, this outfit came together in a manner of three hours the night before the party. The golden satin dress was the standout of course, but I found it difficult to find the right pieces to pair with it; however, this steal of a velvet blazer I found in Macy’s helped structure the look and keep it formal. I accessorized with earrings and shoes I already had in my closet, due to time, but was pleased with how it came together. There is nothing like utilizing and revisiting items in your wardrobe when you least expect to. Despite this not being my first choice or ideal holiday party look, I received a few compliments during the party that made my night! Was there ever a time when you had to put together a last minute or rushed look? How did your look turn out?
