My husband’s work holiday party is coming up in a couple of weeks and we always have the BEST time when we go. It’s typically at a local hotel and we all get rooms and spend the night and most of the next day celebrating with friends (and a zillion kids between is all.) There is babysitting provided and an indoor water park to visit and the occasion to dress up is always one I love to participate in. Spoiler! I LOVE getting dressed up. Being able to wear a fun dress and heels, sparking jewelry and fun makeup…it is perhaps one of my favorite things. (Behind reading, obviously;)

This year I plan to wear this French Connection dress above. It is faux leather, with a fit and flair shape, and it has juuuuust the right amount of sexiness for a work related party. I really like that I can make it look any way I want it too! With tights and ankle boots it can go to a low key dinner out (which it did, two weeks ago!), and with strappy heels and a bold lip (and maybe a great pair of drop earrings?) it can be really dressy and just plain gorgeous. I plan to go the second route for the party, because I never get to do that, and why not just go for it when I can. Sometimes a girls gotta dress up for her man and knock his socks off sometimes, hmmmm? 😉
