Smashonistas, are you wondering what to wear to your office Christmas party or any other unofficial Festuvus parties. Oh what you're not having one because the economy stinks? So sad. Well for those of us who are, here are a few not so humble suggestions. The little black dress for women may seem a little boring but it is always a sure bet. For a nice trendy twist try a little black dress made of lace. If you want to throw in some color a nice jewel tone dress may be your bet. May I suggest emerald? Red is nice but always overdone at Christmas. Now ladies as always don't overdo it. If you are going to go with big hair, leave the Dolly Parton makeup and fingernails at home. Believe me, we all have someone in our office who ALWAYS has this look covered, ALWAYS. If you are going to do smoky eyes go for a nude gloss on the lips. If you are wearing a strapless dress make sure the hemline skims your knee and not your hinee. If your dress is giving your Christmas tree competition with all the bedazzle steer clear of your jewelery box. And if you don't heed any of this advice just please, please leave the pants for the guys to wear. Now for the gents. Unless the invitation specifies black tie, please save the tuxedo for your "coming out party". A black solid suit with a white shirt will do with a solid color satiny tie. Try a Brooks Brothers plain white dress shirt. These shirts seem to hold up nicely even after a few drinks and don't denigrate the look. And if your dress shoe soles look like mini tractor trailer tires and could be potentially used in a John Deere ad, just plan on staying home. You are unlovable. No, I don't care how comfortable you claim they are. No, no, no. Run don't walk to your nearest men's shoe department and get yourself a decent pair of shoes. And ladies be on high alert that creepy office guy (yes that one) only get's creepier when placed in social situations involving alcohol. Oh your Christmas Party will not be serving alcohol. Poor you. Back to the creepy guy, may I suggest some mace? Merry Christmas Smashonistas.
