With the holiday season comes festive parties. Evenings filled with holiday tunes, Christmas lights and decorations, endless champagne and tasty hor d’oeuvres. It is a time to dress up and have fun with friends and family. Holiday parties are one of my favorite parts of the season. I will take any excuse to dress up, and what better excuse than the season of joy. Like always I start planning my outfits a head of time–even before I am invited to or make plans to attend any parties. I want to be prepared early so I am not running around last minute looking for the perfect dress. I have rounded up my top 10 contenders that will suffice a casual or cocktail attire event.
