It’s the most wonderful time of the year and the question I get asked the most is always what is appropriate for holiday work parties. Well, it depends! Some companies go all out in which something along these lines might be more appropriate. My office always was a bit more casual when it came to holiday parties so I wanted to bring you two outfits that could work for a regular day at the office just a bit more festive 🙂
Both of these outfits would be appropriate for a work dinner party or casual party. My favorite way to “dress up” a sweater is to throw some party pants (or skirt) on with it! Easiest, most festive way to bring in some sequins, sparkle or festivity! See some more of my favorite party pants below.
And if you are looking for more options to wear with those party pants, don’t worry I’ve got you covered!
Lastly, if you are looking for gifts to give the boss lady, coworker, or employee in your life. I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite items that are a working girl’s necessity.

DAY 9: NBR HAIR EXTENSIONS FROM @amandakextensions
I think all of those PSL’s (pumpkin spice latte’s) have officially gone to my head considering I am now dressing like a human pumpkin without even realizing it! Nonetheless, I have always been a fan off too much color and Fall colors are always so pretty paired together.
We spent the day with my dad’s side of the family in Dallas, TX. It was the first year that all 3 sisters were not kicked out of bed and loaded up at 6 in the morning to “beat the traffic”. Since Lindsey (my middle sis) moved to Chicago and Kacey (the youngest) moved to Austin, our holiday plans have changed quite a bit. While I am so happy that we are all going out into the world and becoming strong, independent women, it is so weird not living out every year traditions. I’m not complaining about the extra leg room in the car, but change is always something I’ve never been the best at!
I want to point out that it wouldn’t be a normal Thanksgiving Day road trip in the Adams’ household if papa Adams didn’t refuse to stop the car for any sort of food, drink or potty break. Thankfully we convinced him to stop at McDonalds to kick off our calorie filled day. The rest of the day was filled with LOTS of food, vegging out on the couch, visiting our family’s new house and playing Spinner.
Days like today remind me how thankful I am for a family that can give each other crap but can also make you belly laugh for hours on end. I am thankful for family reunions that make you appreciate your time apart that much more. I am thankful for little things such as wine, board games, and sweet potatoes.
I also want to take a moment to say how thankful I am for all of YOU! Without your constant support, I would not be able to do what I do. I am so thankful that the more this blog grows, the more you all grow with me. I am so thankful that we can connect over a shared interest of fashion, wine and having a good time! Every like, comment and sweet message from you is what keeps me going and for that I am eternally grateful!
I hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving and if you are looking to beat the crowds at the shopping malls for Black Friday, please do not forget that I have an entire Black Friday Sale Listto make all of your shopping needs easier 🙂
