What I’d wear…for a (formal) holiday party

It’s that time of year again!  Cheer, warm cider, and laughing children fill the season.  Holiday parties also help ensure that the spirit of joy and too much awesome-going-to-regret-it-in-the-morning food will be happily consumed.

I’m getting pretty excited about our trip to Asia.  It will be my first time spending the holidays in a warm climate.  But if I can break out skirts and sandals, I can definitely deal.

So what will you wear to your holiday party (parties)?
It all begins with the dress of course.  Now if you wanted to be really different how cool would it be to have a custom made dress from a vintage pattern (I’d probably do a black and cream combo)?   Ladies in LA, I bet Lindsey could work some wonders.  I’ve seen her custom dresses – um awesome.  I need to be friends with more couturiers and tailors.

Then of course the accessories.  While gloves are optional (I mean what if this is to a nice family dinner after all, kids are totally pouring gravy all over the gloves), jewelry is key.

Hello J. Crew as reintroduced to me by fab Kelly.
First this gold and black rhinestone necklace.  Um wow.
