You could say these photos are dark and grainy, but I like to think they’re lit gently by the twinkling Christmas tree and covered in an aura of holiday cheer. I went to a Christmas party on Saturday and I’ve been dying to share my festive look. You might have noticed a few skipped days recently, and a lot of very casual outfits. Needless to say, this clotheshorse jumped on the chance to dress up.

You’ve seen this dress before in a more casual look, but I think it’s pulling off this whole fancy thing pretty well. Personally, I don’t think a dress has to be tight or showy to be a little bit sexy. The bold tights and great heels draw attention to my legs (which are like 2 feet long but I work with what I got), and with some great waves and a little sassy makeup…not gonna lie, I felt pretty fabulous. Shout out to my friend Lauren and her roommate for throwing a fun party!

Has anyone else been to a holiday party yet? If you blog, leave me a link in the comments – I’d love to see what you wore!

I know I said I don’t wear sweats in public, but this is pretty darn close. Sometimes, though, a sweatshirt and leggings can be OK outside the house if (1) you’re doing something super casual, (2) there is no velour anywhere on your body, (3) there are no words or symbols across your butt, (4) you cover your bits and pieces, (5) you play with fun colors or otherwise add visual interest, and (6) you wear something other than sneakers or flip-flops on your feet.

As you can see, it’s a complex rule, but I am clearly following it. If the fashion police issue a citation, I will be prepared with my defense. For the record, I know this is not exactly my usual pulled together look, but I wanted to be true to my blog’s raison d’etre and show you what I really wear. This was another exam-taking outfit so comfort was the name of the game. I’ll be back to real outfits soon, I swear! (But if you want to see how I styled this same top with real pants, see here and here.)

Sweatshirt: Madewell, sold out online (similar here)

Boots: Madden Girl, old (similar here and here)

P.S. Howdya like that little dance move at the end? Why, thank you. I’m classically trained. No…really.
