as we inch our way towards christmas, and new years eve it’s always nice to have a few classic separates hanging in your closet at your beck and call. if a last-minute invite lands in your inbox you’ll be able to pull together a chic outfit in a matter of minutes! for today’s party ootd inspiration i chose an ivory silk blouse and black silk pants that’s perfect for any low-key soiree that comes your way. or maybe someone from the office has donated tickets to one of my all-time holiday favorites – the nutcracker. i’ve seen many different renditions of this classic production through the years, but i think san francisco just might be one of my favorite ballet companies. but back to our party ootd…a pair of metallic sandals, a glitzy clutch, and a fun necklace complete this look. throw in a cardigan with a fun pattern, and you’re party ready in no time without the stress of shopping for a new party dress.
