There’s something to be said for mixing it up. While my first instinct is always to go for a dress, when it came time to tackle Office Holiday Parties – I thought, why not try something different? What I love about this look is that it’s completely standout while also completely workplace appropriate. No worrying about whether your dress is too short or your top too flashy. It’s festive and cool but not over the top. Which is probably exactly how you want to appear when drinking with your co-workers, right? To be honest I’ve never really been quite sure how to style this vest before now, but when I paired it with these velvet leggings (as dreamy as you’d imagine), a silky white button down and sleek metallic and grey accents it was suddenly exactly what I wanted. Black tie with a twist. After all, they always say dress for the job you want, not the one you have – and I most certainly want a job that calls for a tinsel-worthy take on a tux.Old Navy Coat – on major sale! // H&M Tuxedo Vest – similar here // F21 Shirt – similar here // K.Bell Velvet Leggings c/o // Vintage Clutch – similar here // Vintage YSL Heels – similar here on sale!

This is such a classy look! I love the necklace too.
I never wear this necklace quite as much as I mean too – but it was the perfect amount of sparkle here 🙂
Love, love, love this look! So cute 🙂
