4 Stylish Outfits for Holiday Parties

I LOVE any chance I can get to dress up!! Growing up, I remember moving our giant living room rug a few times a week to create a “stage” and model clothes from my dress up box. We should have known back then that I was going to do something fashion related 🤣 As the holidays rapidly approach (and the deals keep pouring in online), I wanted to show you some of the cute pieces I found for any festive occasion! Keep scrolling to see what I got…

For some reason, I have become HUGE on sweater dresses!! I love this brown option from Apricot Boutique, it’s so cozy and fluffy! The material is so stinking soft and it reminds me of a giant teddy bear… Another plus of this dress is how easily you can dress it up or down! I think it would be so cute to wear this on Christmas with some high socks or wear it casually with sneakers and a jean jacket. As for parties, I think this dress is ideal for small gatherings like Gingerbread House Decorating or drinks with some friends.

Okay so this may or may not be my Christmas dress… I am in love with this piece!! I was totally influenced by Bre Sheppard to try out this website and I’m so glad I did!! I love online boutiques; they allow me to dress on trend but I never feel like I’m wearing the same thing as everyone else. I also love this color! I rarely wear anything this bold, but I thought the red would be a fun change for the holidays. Another upside to this dress is it’s not too revealing, it’ll be perfect for a more formal dinner or church!! Plus, the poofy sleeve is just too fun 🤪

Another solid option for holiday parties is a nice sweater dress like this one! I love the ribbed material and the turtleneck is such a fun addition!! I like to cuff the sleeves too since the arms are ever so slightly short for me. When I cuff sleeves, its easier for me to check a watch or wear some bracelets! Dresses like this one are also perfect for a more casual occasion but are easily dressed up with over the knee boots or a great pair of heels. If you live somewhere cold, you can always add a pair of tights underneath! The midsection of the dress is pretty roomy and perfect for eating all of the snacks 😋

Yeah so I am insanely obsessed with this skirt! I love its silky material and the midi length! Plus, the print is so fun and gives me all the animal vibes without being over the top 🤣 Dress this skirt up with a silky tank or go more casual with a graphic tee! I think skirts are a fun option for the holidays because you can get really creative with them!! If you love the skirt above, my favorite boutique Boutique Bleu just restocked it 💕 Pick them up now for the new year!

I hope you enjoyed my outfit ideas for this holiday season!! I love dressing up for these special occasions and I can’t wait to show you more on my Instagram!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays,
