Last weekend officially kicked off Holiday Party Season.   And what does holiday party season require of you?  Why, holiday party shoes of course! Each day this week, I’ll feature a different type of holiday party and corresponding festive shoe.

The Office Christmas Party: Your bosses will be here, so you can’t look too out of control, but the cute guy from the cubicle across from yours will also be in attendance, so you’ve got to look as hot as professionally possible. If the party is after work, shed your cardigan post-office hours to reveal a sexy dress.  Then, change from your work shoes to a pair of sassy heals.  Everyone will see you in a whole new light.

Hot Party Tip: You are among your colleagues and higher-ups after all.  It can be socially stressful, so to avoid disaster, try to alternate cocktails with water.  You do want them to see you in a whole new light - you don’t want that light to be “the girl who tripped on the dance floor, bumped into a cater waiter, and spilled red wine on the CEO’s trophy wife.”

Enjoy!
