Style Tips On What To Wear To Your Office Party

Picking out the perfect outfit for an office party can be a bit of a mission. Unlike other parties, this party is two-sided. You have to look casual and professional at the same time. You need to create a good balance between the the two. Most of the time, women save themselves the worry and frustration by sticking to their favorite LBD. I used to do that, but I realized I needed to change my style a bit. In the end, I felt I made the right decision. So here are some of my tips on how you can spice up your wardrobe.

Choose a dress or top that's not black! Wear a dress with a nice, vibrant color- a teal-colored dress, for example. Your top or dress can be your statement item. Since you already have a vibrant colored statement item, the rest of your wardrobe should be a bit more subdued in color. You can wear a black or navy blue blazer just in case most of your coworkers are on the conservative side. You can find a lot of beautiful tops and dresses at Warehouse.You can find the teal-colored dress I just mentioned at that store, actually. If you want to get great value for your money, find some Warehouse discount codes online.

Choose a dress or skirt that's not too short. By wearing a skirt with the right length, you create a good balance between looking professional and casual. You might also be interested in pencil skirts, too. They're making a comeback this year and are so versatile. Wear it with a slim belt and a statement blouse.

Wear the right shoes. You're not required to wear high heels for the party, so don't worry. You can wear flats and still look nice. Just make sure to choose flats with some character to it. Flats with a great design in the front would be a good choice. If you're planning to wear high heels, don't go over the top with sky-high heels. You don't want people to think you're wearing "stripper heels".

Wear accessories. Leave your pearl earrings at home and go out with loop or drop earrings. If you don't like wearing too many accessories, you can pick one statement accessory. It could be a bib necklace or a gold bangle.

If you're still thinking of wearing your good old LBD, you might want to up it a bit with accessories or an attention-grabbing jacket. A metallic jacket is great for a black dress. It's classy and edgy. I bought one at Warehouse the other day and I'm wearing it to my office party this weekend.

Tips On How To Wear Comfy Heels

Wearing gorgeous heels is the easiest way to looking fabulous and stylish. Wearing heels also has its benefits. First, they make your legs look longer and sexier. Second, heels actually improves posture. Most importantly, wearing heels boosts confidence and self-esteem. Unfortunately, heels can also be painful. This only happens when you choose the wrong shoes. So, what are the things we should take into consideration when buying heels? Here are some useful tips:

1. Heel Height. The maximum heel height for comfortable heels is about 3 inches or 7 centimeters. With this height, your legs look longer and you can still walk in them with ease. Wearing heels also make your legs look shapelier and toned. I myself wear 3-inch heels to work. I wear them not only because they make me look good but most of all, they give me more confidence.

2 Choose thick, sturdy heels. If you want to survive an 8-hour workday wearing heels, go for thick, sturdy heels. Don't wear 5-inch stilettos as they are only going to give you discomfort the whole day. Wedges are also a great choice as they also give you plenty of support and balance.

3. Cushioning. Finding the style you like is a piece of cake. Finding shoes with the right cushioning however, can be a mission. Remember to choose shoes that have enough cushioning right under the ball of your foot so as to make you feet more comfy.

4. Test-drive the shoe on hard ground. Have you ever wondered why most shoe stores have carpeted floors? It's because the carpet makes it easy for your feet to walk on it. So the next time you try on shoes, walk them on concrete floors to truly assess how comfortable they are.

5. Choose round-toed shoes. Pointy shoes can warp your toes and hurt your feet so if you think you cant survive a whole day in them, don't wear them. Save them for your next brunch with your girl friends. Opt for round-toed shoes as they allow enough room for your toes to wiggle and sprain naturally.
