Happy Wednesday! I asked on my Instagram stories what you wanted to see heading into the holiday season. I thought I would get requests for gift guides but surprisingly a lot of you had questions about what I thought was appropriate for a work party or what I was going to be wearing! To be honest I hadn’t thought much about work parties yet but I knew there were many to come. I wanted to get the ball rolling for so you all could be prepared as well:)
Earlier this week I stopped into the Francesca’s store right down the road from me to look at their Northern Lights Collection. I had seen how gorgeous their dresses were online but wanted to try some on. I was looking for a classy work holiday party look. As soon as my eyes met this darling sequin dress I knew it was fate! Being the person that I am, I had to grab a couple other pieces from the collection to try on as well. (If you want to check out everything I tried on, I did a full try on session HERE.)
Narrowing down my options from the Northern Lights Collection was rather challenging! But when thinking about what is appropriate for a holiday work party, I always keep the following things in mind. What is the length of the dress, how tight fitted is the dress, and how much does the dress cover in certain areas. For me this Francesca’s dress checked all the right boxes while still giving that element of holiday fun! The length fell just above the knee, the dress wasn’t skintight and it came all the way up to my collarbone. All things I wanted to keep the look classy and chic☺️
I fell in love with the openness on the back of the sequin dress but my personal preference wouldn’t be to wear something so open at work events. To make sure my back wasn’t too exposed, I threw on this beautifully cut Francesca’s black blazer! I thought it added just a nice touch of business to the fun sequins?
While I was on the hunt at Francesca’s for a darling work appropriate dress, I also wanted to make sure it was functional for other holiday parties as well! They had so many different options that would have worked so well. I wish I could have taken them all haha.
Hope you find this helpful for searching for a chic holiday work party look! Be sure to check out Francesca’s Northern Lights collection either in stores or online?
Thank you Francesca’s for sponsoring this post!
