Tis the season for holiday parties and gift-giving! I’ve already started receiving holiday party invites, and so it seemed natural to start planning festive looks so you can be well prepared (and inspired) for any upcoming festivities you may have. And Today I’m excited to share my first holiday party outfit idea – a festive mini skirt!

I hope to do a few different looks this season that will hopefully help you get dressed for your events – wether it be a cocktail party, white-elephant gift exchange with your friends, office holiday party or what have you.

And speaking of different “types”/attires of holiday parties, let me know if you have any specific questions (or suggestions for blog content) because I’m shooting more Holiday looks on Thursday. I’m happy to try and cater to your needs if you’ve already got an idea of what kind of look you’ll need. As of now, I plan on shooting fancy-ish looks for cocktail-esque holiday parties and dinners.

Okay so now I’ll get to THIS outfit – how cute is this red and black high-waisted skirt?! I love the look of the oversized tweed and how vibrant the red is – it’s seriously SO perfect for this time of year. Given the event, I feel like I could easily dress it up or down. For instance, I’d dress it up for a work party (or even dinner with friends) with a statement necklace and heels (or with tall boots like above) and I’d dress it down with black tights and flats (or riding boots) for something more casual.
