What should you wear this holiday season?

It is hard to believe it is time to think about holiday parties again, but it is. To avoid the stressful last minute rush, start early. Shop now! Get it over with, and just smile when your friends tell you the horror story of how she had to leave work early, rush to the mall, fight for a parking spot, wait in line for a dressing room, and ended up buying a dress she less than loves, knowing that you did it from the quiet comfort of your own home, sitting in your pajamas with a cup of sugar free hot chocolate, listening to your ipod (instead of that crazy chrismas music that eventually makes you go insane) on-line at back-in-style.com. Not only was it a more plesant experience, but you also got a dress that makes you look incredible, and that you are certain no one else will have, at a much cheaper price than she did, leaving you extra money to buy a new tie or shirt to ensure that your date looks as good as you do.

So now that I have told you how to shop, what should you shop for?
Just want to buy one thing, or aren't sure what the occassion calls for?
Go black! Black is back, and it is classic and simple. If you have a lot of parties to go to, you can wear the same dress to each one, just change the accesories. Also, if you are not sure what the dress code for the party is, a black cocktail length dress is always the best way to go. It can be dressy or casual with the change of your attitude and hairstyle.

Don't feel like wearing a cocktail dress? Try a pencil skirt. Sexy but demure the 1940's style pencil skirt has a strong presence this season, and it is easy to dress up for the holidays. Feeling trendy, wear it with a wide belt. Feeling classic, tuck in a satin button down or tie neck blouse. Feeling cold, add an embellished feminine shrug. The pencil skirt is also a great alternative if you are coming from work. Wear it to work with a blazer, suit style. Then for evening, switch your office pumps to sexy metallic ankle strap shoes, and your tote back to a clutch. Add some extra jewelry, long necklaces, or long dangle earrings, and you are cocktail ready.

Red and green not your colors? Choose gold. It is very rich and warm and still holiday-esque. Brocade and velvet are also a very festive and wintery fabrics that are always holiday appropriate. Also try mixing textures and fabrics. Wear a satin blouse with a velvet skirt, or or a brocade dress with a soft sweater. Combining textures adds depth, and keeps an outfit from being to expected and ordinary.
