Let the Parties Begin!

Let the Parties Begin!

From office parties to neighborhood get-togethers, 'tis the season to get dressed up. I'm all about enjoying the holidays instead of getting stressed about what to wear, so that's why I recommend something versatile and easy like a cocktail dress, like this one pictured from Aidan Mattox

The cocktail dress -- which is really just a dressy, after-five, short (which means anything but floor-length) dress -- comes in all sorts of fabrics (silk, jersey, beaded) and colors (Little Black Dress, red, metallics, etc.) It goes to everything from actual cocktail parties to formal weddings.
