Never an easy task! You need to be prepared and assess the situation. You can't dress the same for every single event! You need options so here is how you chose:
Work Christmas Party: Depending on where you go, this is the time to sparkle! Make sure to wear you highest heels and your brightest lipstick and just be a show-off! Your co-workers never get to see you like this to take this opportunity to live in the moment and rock your best holiday outfit! Here's a example: Gold is always a good holiday color because it looks like glitter! Adding a nice accent necklace will add drama and I would put on my usual red lipstick. Gorgeous!
Last day at the office: This is like the ultimate Friday TGIF outfit with a touch of the holidays! This is probably the day where there will be a potluck and you all get to socialize. So make it cute! I'd recommend wearing a cute little dress with a cardi on top! Just to look a little cheerful yet comfortable. I will probably wear this red peplum dress with black sheer tights and a black cardigan! A bit a flare to say goodbye to your coworkers for a few days!
Friend's gift exchange: Obviously, this is a tricky one because it depends what theme your party is! If it's casual, wear something comfortable like leggings and a cute sweater. Your stretchy pants, as Joey would call them. Give yourself some "give" so you can eat till you roll. Ugly Christmas sweaters are always fun too! I would wear a stripped sweater with a big scarf, glasses and a sock bun. Super cute for pictures! I have yet to find my ugly sweater!
Church and Dinner with you family: For this, you should dress up a bit more than the friend's exchange, but a bit less than the work party! It's a comfortable classy look where you should take the opportunity to add sparkle! You know, so you look cute when you open presents! Navy blue with sequins is always a Christmas-y look so that's the skirt I would wear with gray long sleeve. Add some bling too!
New Years Eve: DO IT RIGHT! This is the night that requires THE MOST GLAM of the year! If you can afford it, find something cute on Boxing Day. If not, recycle an old dress Kate Middleton style. Hey! If the future Queen of England can recycle her clothes, damn it, so can you! I would avoid the red lips though; you don't want to get it all over your man. On second thought... Anyway! Heres what I would do (recycled from last new years!):
