It may not happen every year, but there still will be times when you will need to go to a holiday party. So being prepared with an outfit or two planned out in advance will help relieve your last minute stress of what to wear.
Quote of the day: “There is as much greatness of mind in acknowledging a good turn as in doing it.” Seneca
My goal in this series of blogs is to help you bring together items you presumably already have in your closet in order to look festive for your season’s gala! Let’s get started thinking about it now because you may need to beg or borrow an item from your friend or daughter!!! The easiest way to dress for a holiday party is to just throw on a skirt and add some kind of twinkle!
50’s Holiday Party Outfit:
This skirt was actually found in my mother’s basement…it was part of her dress from the 1950s and the bodice was falling apart. So, I had her sew on a waistband and voila, I call it my holiday skirt! You may have something like this in your basement? For the top half, I was inspired by the classic holiday song “Silver & Gold.”

60’s Holiday Party Outfit:
I’m sure everyone has a basic black skirt! A sparkly jacket with a velvet tank underneath makes the black skirt dressy and festive!

70’s Holiday Party Outfit:
Another basic that is popular for those holiday festivities is the red dress. Accessorize it by wearing your sparkly black cardigan over it, combined with some fabulous shoes and you are good to go!
