It’s the holiday (party) season… if you’ve been following me for a bit, you know that I am always up for a festive party (bonus points if it has a theme 😉 ). I especially love the holiday party scene that picks up in December. Fresh garland on festive dining tables and Christmas music playlists, cocktails by the fireplace, mistletoe hanging in entryways… there’s something about a Christmas party that twinkles and is full of magic and pine scented candles (let’s be real). I’m attending a few holiday parities in the upcoming weeks as well as throwing my own, with my roommates, so I wanted to gather my holiday party outfit and decoration inspiration into one post.

The above outfit features this white bow sweater and this red ruffle plaid skirt. Both darling Christmas-y options for really any type of holiday party—from a work party to a family affair! The images below are a few inspiration shots I found via my “Merry Little Christmas” Pinterest board. This is the kind of look and feel we are going for our “Martinis & Mistletoe” themed party. How fun?!

Outfit Details: top: Draper James c/o // skirt: Draper James c/o // clutch: Kate Spade {sold out, but I also love this black Kate Spade bow clutch} // cable bracelets: David Yurman // shoes: ALDO {sold out, similar via Sole Society} 

Also, I linked a few holiday party decorations and favors, as well as additional party outfits, below—all of which I’m shopping and getting inspiration from for the festive get-together we’re throwing! I hope this post inspires you in some small way to pick out a party outfit or throw your own martinis and mistletoe-filled celebration! xx
