With less than 3 weeks until Christmas (WHAT?!), the holiday parties are stacking up! I love this time of year and getting to spend it celebrating with friends, families, and really anyone you come in contact with haha. It’s also that busy season for ILY and the blog and a lot of industries so typically I’m running straight from work to parties. It’s all about picking pieces that work for both. Below are 5 pieces that can take you from work to any holiday party.

A Neutral Statement Top: Who says you have to wear red and green to every party this season? White is a timeless option and a little bit of detailing adds the perfect touch for the holidays. I got this ruffled top – the detail makes it look really high end but I actually got it for under $40 from Last Call Neiman Marcus. They had so many pretty detailed tops at good price points – I also love this similar style under $40 and this pretty lace-up ruffled top. Also obsessed with the neck detailing on this blouse!

Pretty Pumps: I wish pretty pumps were always synonymous with comfy pumps but let’s be real, that’s just not that case. I just got this illusion pair (under $100!) and they are SO comfortable and the heel height is really easy to be in all day.

A Good Clutch: Packing a pretty clutch for the night is probably the easiest and most effective accessory to transition your look from 9-to-5 to festive. I’m obsessed with the swan embellishment on this one (under $40)! It’s a statement piece that will spice up your look and it’s also a great chance to bring some color into your look.

A Festive Red Lip: What’s a holiday party look without a bold red lip!? Add a swipe of your favorite shade of lipstick for a more festive feel – plus after a long day at the office, who couldn’t use a little lipstick for an instant beauty refresher?

A Versatile Layer: I am OBSESSED with this puffer jacket. I love the casual vibe with the quilted texture but the length and pretty cowl neck means it can pass for dressier occasions too, so it’s a great versatile layer that can work for the office or holiday parties and anywhere in between.

Last Call has so many great pieces with such good details that can work for holiday festivities or just everyday. Below are a few more of my favorites and you can also see my holiday dressing guide for 4 different festive occasions here.
