I’m normally an advocate of tucking tops into skirts (proof below). I think it’s usually much more flattering, at least on bodies of the non-supermodel variety. But every once in a while, the stars align and I find a long and/or loose top that doesn’t look frumpy hanging out over a flared skirt. This was one of those once in awhiles. This might just be a magical sweater, which is why I asked Santa to bring me one in every color. It’s crazy soft and drapes perfectly without looking bulky. With a skirt in a coordinating color, it kind of has the effect of a drop waist dress. So this is me dropping it like it’s hot.

But usually, I’m all about the tuck. It’s the Real Life Remix:

I love wearing contrasting colors. Blue/orange and purple/yellow combinations I can wear anytime, but red/green leaves me looking and feeling like a Christmas tree. Even when it’s more of a teal green. But you know when it’s perfectly acceptable to look and feel like a Christmas tree? At a Christmas party. Do not squander this short window of time when it is acceptable to wear red and green, folks!

I wore this to a holiday party at my friends’ house last weekend, and it didn’t really have a set dress code, so I mixed my fancy skirt with what is essentially just a structured t-shirt. The statement red shoes and mix of prints were my version of one of those tacky sweaters with 5 different themes going on. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good ugly Christmas sweater party, but given the option, I’ll always dress up!

And if you think this is fancy, just wait til this Saturday. It’s my black-tie office holiday party, and thanks to your votes, I’ll be wearing this Badgley Mischka sequin gown! I’ll put it up on the blog sometime next week, but you can see it in action this weekend if you follow me on Instagram. Anyone else going to a holiday party this weekend? Wearing anything awesome? Of course you are, you classy broad. Have fun.
