It feels like a million o’clock and I’m just posting for the day. Is it a million o’clock yet? Can I go to bed anytime soon?
I’ve had a few ideas up my sleeve for a while for party outfits. So much fun to think about the zillions of possibilities for holiday party wear. Is it a super fancy holiday party? Whip out some sequins! Casual? Go crazy and throw on some peep toe pumps.
Here are a couple party outfit ideas for you:
1. Rhinestone Ring $4.80 Forever 21 2. Sequin Tank $39.90 Express 3. Pencil Skirt $89.50 Banana Republic 4. Peep Toe Booties $34.99 Target
1.Cardigan $59.50 Ann Taylor Loft 2. Straight Pants $49.50 GAP 3. Bib Necklace & Earrings $59.95 Fantasy Jewelry Box 4. Patent Heels $119 Piperlime
What do you wear for holiday parties? Do you even attend holiday parties? If you tell me you wear jeans & a t-shirt to your holiday office party, you’re going to have some splainin’ to do.

Hello there! I'm Allison Czarnecki, founder + editor of Petit Elefant, a blog all about style on a budget for every part of your life: style / home / travel / family. I do a lot of how-to beauty + style tutorials, travel posts, easy recipes, home remodel projects, and cool DIY crafts you totally want to try. I'm super happily married (to a hot Polish immigrant) and am the mother of two kids, a daughter and son, all of whom are featured here on the regular. We live in the country but we're a little bit rock + roll. Welcome!
I really like those pants from the Gap. I might just have to buy me some…
They’re pretty foxy, right?
I don’t work and husband doesn’t have holiday parties (stupid health department) but my friend had a party last week at her house, just casual. I wore my wide leg black pants from the Gap, a Loft long-sleeve black shirt (yep, t-shirt and regular pants!) but fancied it up with a cute gray & black scarf from target–I even watched your “how to wear a scarf” before we left–and my killer peep-toes from piperlime. Not too bad, but nothing fancy. I wish I had a fancy party to go to.
We have zero parties in our future, outside of our annual church party which just isn’t fancy at all.
I did put on some sparkly jewelry for a friend party I hosted though, that counts for something.
NICE JOB on the scarf & the peep toes, that’s my girl!
my hubby is a construction foreman and this year for holiday party they decided to go a little more casual than we have in past years, so it’s karaoke at a local restaurant/bar. My husband told me he told his boss he is dressing like a lumberjack (inside joke I assume?) and I’m to dress like a lumberjack’s wife. I’m like, “I’m sorry… WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?!”
I’m indulging him a little … I’ll wear dark denim leggings from Reitmans, I’ll see if I can find a cute tunic-length dressy top in a plaid, and I’ll wear my cute tall boots with fur on the top. Plus some shinies and a one month old baby girl dressed in something sweet. You can’t really go wrong when you’re wearing a baby girl dressed in something toothache-inducing.
The best part is that my husband honest to gravy wants to go shopping so he can have a nice new plaid shirt to wear. My hero.
He’s my hero too. My husband just sassed himself up with two new flannel plaid shirts.
*sigh*
In my dreams I live in Manhattan and my husband wears suits from D&G.
I suddenly feel 17 again.
Oh no! In a bad way? Please tell me not in a bad way…..
I wear black pumps, skinny jeans, and a tuxedo jacket pretty much any time we have a “grown-up” event. It’s my party uniform.
That is a GREAT party uniform. I can totally see it, actually. And I think I need a tuxedo jacket posthaste.
This is what I wore to one work holiday party:

I’m posting what I wore to work holiday party #2 tomorrow. Are you on the edge of your seat?? Ha.
I’m waiting, face perched in hands, on my chair.
Those tights made the outfit complete.
