Every year in my office at Christmastime, there’s people who dress with
a bit too much holiday spirit. I’m talking blinking reindeer antler headbands
(seriously), immense amounts of red sequins, ornament shaped earrings, or
non-ironic ugly Christmas sweaters. It’s
fine to get excited about the holidays, but I tend to think the office is a place
of restraint.
I usually opt for a black and white outfit with pops of red in my shoes
or accessories. I also love a classic pencil skirt and button down in a festive
color, or a professional wrap dress in a deep red or evergreen. If you go with
something in a festive color (like red, green, or metallic), pick one and stick
to it. Don’t pair your green dress with red shoes. And please, please, please avoid sequins.
And while I’m being bossy, watch the booze too!! I learned this the
hard way when an old boss delivered a pitcher of Alabama Slammer shots to our
table…at 11:45 am. Whoops. Stick to wine, it’s classiest.
