A Business Casual Christmas

'Tis the season for celebration, which begs the eternal question: "What do I wear to my holiday party?" I always struggle with this question, especially when the holiday party is a work event. This year my workplace was the host of the party, which meant I was there to work rather than have fun. While party goers were dressed in their festive best, I was on my feet, running around all evening.

It pained me to wear pants to such an occasion, but I knew I had to be practical. I decided to go boring business casual, but wear a sparkly pair of shoes. I'd normally consider my Crushed Glitter Wedges from J.Crew to be a tad too summery for December, but my pants covered all but the fun, glittery part of the shoe!
The outfit turned out to be the perfect choice for the event. I was comfortable from the moment I arrived for setup, down to the final guest departing for the evening.

  1. Comfortable is always a good choice and I love the unexpected shoe because the glitter is perfect.
    I don't have a go-to holiday outfit, so I'm usually stressing myself out with what to wear.
