Ugly Sweater Party

It’s pretty much inevitable that you’ll be invited to an ugly sweater party (AKA a “Tacky Christmas Sweater Party”) sometime this winter break. Obviously, the whole point of the party is to showcase a totally tacky sweater, but that doesn’t mean the rest of your outfit has to be ugly!

What to Wear to an Ugly Sweater Party

Products: Christmas Sweater – Amazon, Skirt – Nordstrom, Boots – Lulu’s, Crossbody Bag – Amazon, Earrings – Amazon, Necklace – Nordstrom

If you have an ugly sweater party to go to, try wearing your ugly Christmas sweater with a cute high waisted skirt and over-the-knee boots. You’ll fulfill the theme requirement, but still look totally cute. Add a crossbody bag in a contrasting Christmassy hue. (If your sweater is green, wear a red bag; if your sweater is red, go green!) Finish with simple sparkly jewelry.

Dinner with the Boyfriend’s Parents

If you’re dating someone, the holidays are usually a time when you’ll be spending a bit of time with your significant other’s family. While you want to showcase your style and look great, these occasions usually call for outfits that are a bit more conservative or dressy than what you’d usually wear, especially if you’re meeting your boyfriend or girlfriend’s parents for the first time!
