Our favorite gluttonous day is upon us, and many of you will be headed to your own family's house, or that of your friend's, significant other's, or possibly the Chinese restaurant down the street if holidays just aren't your cup of tea. In any case, you're going to need something to wear. And rather than resort to the conservative, bland color palette of last year, why not spice things up with a touch of color at the dinner table?
We've already heard that dressing up during these tough economic times is now considered chic, so jump on the bandwagon and opt for a festive dress in rich red. Make it cozy with a warm grey cardigan (you are, technically, staying in) and pair with some trendy patterned tights and vintage-esque oxford pumps. Finally, top off the ensemble with a powerful necklace that complements the dress.
