The holiday season is in full swing, which means that there are holiday parties to attend and plenty of opportunities to get dressed up.
However, when you’re on a budget, purchasing new attire for a holiday bash may seem overwhelming.
The costs of clothing, shoes, and accessories quickly add up, and before you know it, you’ve spent a small fortune on clothing to wear to a single event.
This year, don’t go overboard on spending! There are many options available to find beautiful apparel that will last you through the holidays and beyond. You can be stylish without bleeding your bank account dry!
The type of apparel you wear to an event varies, but two basic outfits work for most holiday parties:
A Cocktail Dress in Black, Red, Jewel Tones, Silver, or Gold. Choose a dress with a metallic finish or glitzy sequined details, and dress it up or down using accessories.
If you have several parties to attend, a basic black dress can serve you well and save money, as you can easily change the entire look with your accessories without appearing to “recycle” your party clothes.
A Nice Pair of Black Slacks Matched With a Close-Fitting Top. If you already have a pair of nice black pants, alternate wearing them with one or two tops with festive, shining details to really help you stand out.
