PIPM: Pretty in Pink Megan: O Holy Holiday Par-tay!

O Holy Holiday Par-tay!

So this time of the year I get several emails asking for wardrobe assistance for Holiday Parties. Judging from what several of you all are writing, it sounds like you really don't want to spend a lot on a Holiday dress that you will wear one time. I totally agree!

I have definitely come to the realization lately that it's stupid to waste 300 dollars on a sequin dress that you are going to wear one time a year. It's taken me a while to come to this epiphany, but I am glad that I will no longer be wasting my money on said dresses.

So, this is my solution- either rent a dress from Rent-The-Runway (click here to sign up), or get a versatile dress and jazz it up with festive accessories to give a "Holiday" feel and then re-wear the dress to work, outings, etc.

In the category of "versatile" dresses, we shall start here with a basic solid color dress:

{Urban Outfitters Quail Silk Dress}

Here it is for a holiday party:


Here it is for working 9-5:


See what I mean? There is no sense to waste money on a snazzy dress when you can snazz up a basic dress and wear it again numerous times.

I completely agree with your stance on the $300 sequin dress. It's more fun to think creatively when putting together an outfit from what you can wear again, anyway!
