I’m Going to a Million Holiday Parties—Here’s the One Thing I’m Wearing to All of Them
But as much as I enjoy the social elements of the season, one thing I am not a fan of is in-person shopping. Online shopping? Sure. I have a close relationship with my doorman because I get everything—from shampoo to healthy groceries—delivered to my apartment. Shopping in crowded stores? No thank you.
That's why I was so thrilled when I discovered the wardrobe treasure that is this versatile-yet-statement-making skirt from Target. I saw my whole holiday season unfolding before my eyes: Nearly a dozen different parties, multiple outfit changes, and blessedly only one stress-free shopping trip (online, of course). Here's how I made it work, Project Runway style.
Scroll down to see how I turned one skirt into three holiday party outfits (with lots more possibilities).
The office party
The dress code at the Well+Good office spans from business casual to athleisure (#blessed), so for our holiday shindig I wanted to pull together something that complemented the chill vibe, with a classed-up twist—because it is a party, after all.
I went for a winter whites look with my newly beloved accordion-pleated skirt, a cable-knit sweater (I could write a whole other story about how I've been living in this sweater for occasions ranging from lounging on the couch to sipping cocktails in a New York City lounge), and hot pink heels—because who says holiday party outfits have to mean all red everything?

The dinner party
When I first saw The Skirt IRL, it was on a woman walking down Fifth Avenue wrapped in an equally luxe-looking fluffy coat—so naturally I had to try to replicate the look for my fanciest party of the season: a dinner party with my girlfriends.
Popping a faux fur jacket (which TBH looks way more expensive than it is) over my ensemble and sliding into my trusty NYC-style black booties made me wonder if I'd inspire anyone's fashion choices on my walk to the restaurant. Am I a style icon now?

The family party
For my annual family celebration back home in Virginia, I planned something a little more traditionally festive, but still with a chic edge. I paired the silky skirt with a velvet red long sleeve (shoutout to $10 t-shirts that pass for designer quality) and a black belt bag.
The best part about The Skirt? It has an elastic waistband so it's comfortable enough for a full day of visiting with my relatives—lots of homemade desserts included. Happy (fashionable) holidays to me.
