Okay, here’s the deal. We all have stuff to go to during the holidays. You might be going to your very first work holiday party. Maybe you’re taking your serious boyfriend home to meet your parents. Maybe, even more stressfully, he’s taking YOU home to meet HIS parents.
There are a million things to dress up for, but I never ever want to spend a billion dollars on what I call “festive-wear”. I know that I’ll wear festive-wear mainly during the holidays (mostly because I like to keep things ultra festive!). I’m all about the red, green, and sparkly.
Here are the main reasons it’s a great idea to have a go-to dress for the holidays:
- you never know when your boyfriend (or husband!) might want to take you somewhere fancy
- dressing up makes dark holiday nights much brighter
- taking a few minutes to make things special makes the whole season even more magical
- a dress takes approximately 10000% less time to put on than putting together an outfit of separates
- office party. going to grandmas. nights out.
- wear with tights, a cardi, and flats to dress down. easy!
- wear with a leather jacket, chunky jewelry, and hot heels to dress up. easy, too!
I started looking at thredUP for holiday clothing last night, because I wanted to make sure I snagged the cutest dress. I didn’t want all the holiday party goers grabbing up all the good stuff before I got a change. ;)
And, because I like you so much (I really do!!), I found you some of the best options on thredUP. This is HANDS DOWN the best way to buy items you only wear a few times. Plus, you could even resell the dress back to thredUP when you’re done! I almost always resell my dressy clothes, because I hate having them junk up my closet while I wait for the next fancy occasion. Also, isn’t it always fun to dress shop for a fun night out?
you must be a first time thredUP customer, credit will appear in your shopping cart!
