Looking for the perfect outfit to wear to a holiday party can be a real challenge so seeing that you’re one of the most stylish guests will really give you that sense of accomplishment. If you’re on a rather tight budget, don’t worry. There are still lots of ways to stylize an outfit without spending a ton of money or maxing out your credit card. Here are some tips on how to be the most stylish guest at holiday parties, whether it be back home, at the office, with friends or wherever.

This means that you shouldn’t be wearing loads of bling in too many places. Layering your necklaces to create a statement? Keep your bracelets to a minimum so you don’t have too much going on. At the same time, go for a simple and classic style of earrings so that the focus remains on your layered necklaces. This will ensure that you look is chic and not tacky.

  • BLING ALTERNATIVES – not a fan of bling? That’s fine. Not everyone is. But that doesn’t mean you can forgo adding a little bit of shimmer and shine to your look. It is a party, after all, and a holiday one at that so a little bit of
