The Rose Alley: Outfit Post: Company Holiday Party

Hey all! Hope everyone is having a great holiday season so far! We've had a relatively mild 'winter' so far in NYC but it's become rather cold these past few days. I wanted to make an outfit post because I was particularly happy with my ensemble for the company holiday party where I work. Now obviously black is the NYC staple and is almost always occasion appropriate. Usually I have an issue with corporate events because I find my wardrobe to either be very dressy (or at least a definite look), or very casual. I'm not one to wear all over sequins or tons of embellishments, though I love it on other girls! I needed something that was funky, slightly festive, yet (fashion forward) office appropriate.

Jacket, Collection B. Dress with embellished collar, H&M. Leopard Rhinestone Necklace, a random jewelry shop in NYC. Gold studs, Jewelmint. Tights, H&M. Shoes, Woodies by Jeffrey Campbell. Lipstick, Rasberry Bright by Revlon.

This is what I put together! I actually really love this look and will use it again I'm sure. The necklace and collar of my dress were really sparkly under the lighting at the party and offered just the right amount of festive feel for me. This jacket I love and wear almost all the time. I have to wear layers always. Check out a very similar one here (It's also half off, which is so great). I'm a fiend for a good deal.
This is also the first official image on my blog of my dreadlocks. They're about 2 weeks old. I love them, and will be doing a post on them shortly. Don't freak out too much! Haha.

Here are three pretty items that can't go wrong as part of any festive look. Just don't wear them all together!
