MOD
I'm having a holiday party in two weeks. I haven't really set a specific dress code or anything but I was wondering what you think I should wear? Also, how should I do my hair and makeup?
So far there are 14 girls coming, were all about 15-16 years old, I am not sure what they are planning on wearing. I don't want to be to formal and totally overdress but I don't want to be to casual either. I was thinking of wearing a black skirt, but do you think I should wear tights or nylons under it? Its pretty cold were I live and there is tons of snow so I don't want to get too cold, but would it look ok with the skirt?
Thanks (:




Hey girlie,

The holidays are a great excuse to dress up, so I'd probably wear a cute cocktail dress in a holiday color/with lots of shimmer! Maybe this silver dress that we featured in our Style section? It's your party so, as the hostess, you can always look a little more dressy than everyone else Smile But if you think that's too much, try a mini skirt with a tee or tank tucked in. Same rules apply though- holiday colors, gem tones, and/or sparkle are a must! Smile Tights under it, whether it's a dress or skirt, are a great idea. As for hair and makeup, try a high pitched ponytail with a fun blue smokey eye, topped off by some plain lip gloss. Have fun!!!!
