I love buying really special pieces when I’m invited to a holiday party or dinner, but I’m notorious for leaving them in my closet after I’ve worn it once. Whether you shimmied the night away in a sequins, velvet or lace, you deserve to wear this special piece again and again. Here are four of my favorite ways to dress down a bold, holiday skirt.



AE Favorite Flannel Shirt, $29.99 at American Eagle
 
1. Plaid. Tired of pairing your flannel with jeans day after day? Spice up your shopping outfit by tucking your plaid button-down into your most festive skirt. Throw on a brown leather jacket and your favorite boots to stay warm! 


Honeycomb Cable Sweater, $54.99 at J.Crew

2. Sweater. Have a comfy cable-knit sweater you just opened and can’t seem to wear enough? Leave the leggings-as-pants at home and slip on your party skirt for a fun back-to-the-office outfit. Complete the look with a statement necklace and metallic flats.


Women’s Western Chambray Shirt, $26.94 at Old Navy

3. Chambray. Chambray shirts were everywhere as we transitioned from summer into fall. Roll down your sleeves and button it over a skirt or roll the sleeves up and tie the ends over a dress for a couple of easy, put-together looks.

Essential Striped Pullover w/ Hood, $14.50 at Forever 21

4. Hoodie. Hanging out with the guys, but still want to get someone’s attention? A pullover sweater is a great way to toughen up an ultra-feminine piece. Converse and tights have never felt so classy as when paired with a shiny skirt and your quirkiest hoodie.


What did you wear to your holiday party? Do you plan on wearing it again?
