So I was casually reading my December 2011 issue of
Lucky Magazine this morning and I must say that this issue was really fun to read.
Highlights from the publication: the "How to Dress for a Party" article. The article is exactly as it sounds, how you dress *appropriately* for specific holiday occasions (i.e. cocktail hour, dinner party, drinks with friends at the bar).
Not only does the article suggest valuable information on how to construct the perfect holiday outfit, but it suggests tips which prepare you to be on your best game for your big night out.
Some valuable highlights being: how to transition from day to night in a flash, pros and cons to carrying clutches vs. shoulder bags, quick fixes in case you show up to an event either under or over dressed, easy hair up-dos, holiday event going emergency kits and how to rock the seasons most trendsetting fashions without going overboard. Again, all relevant and highly useful information.
What to do if you are...
Overdressed
Pull a few strands out of your updo and mess up the hair around your hairline
Wipe off your lipstick and any heavy eyeshadow
Take off anything flashy like earrings
Push up or roll up your sleeves to the elbow
Underdressed
Go into the bathroom, dampen your hands and slick you hair straight back
Dab red wine on your bottom lip for a quick lip stain
Show more skin by undoing the top few buttons of your blouse
Keep your overcoat on
Bring on the festivities! It's time to party!
