A few weeks ago, my work had our annual holiday party at the beautiful Crystal Tea Room. It’s always a glamourous affair that some people like to call our holiday “prom.” Everyone gets dolled up and enjoys cocktails, mingling and dancing. This year, I was completely unprepared. I waited till the last minute to get together my outfit but sometimes, I work best under pressure! I had Recently purchased this great pleated black skirt from Zara so that was an easy piece to start with. I didn’t want to go overly fancy but wanted something fun and still very work appropriate. I loved the idea of staying all black and white so I pulled out this polka dotted blouse also. This wasn’t complete to me though. I sat in front of my closet trying to figure out how I could spice up this simple skirt and blouse when all of a sudden I realized I had totally forgotten this blazer I bought on sale a while back. I knew it would be just the classic final touch. And I wouldn’t be cold at the party! Double whammy. So my holiday look was born. It’s funny how you can always push the things you have when your forced to make it happen! Have you been in this situation before? No time to shop and needed to put something together fast?
Love how this turned out. Hope that everyone is enjoying their holidays. I’m looking forward to my venture up north to visit my dear Morgan for play time at the beach! I’ll be posting per usual this week so make sure to stop by 😉
