Not every holiday party may have the same dress code, but that doesn’t mean you have to buy a separate outfit for each occasion. With some strategic accessorizing, one frock can fit for every major holiday party this season. We’ve shown you how to get away with wearing the same floral dress and the same LBD to three different holiday parties. This time around we’re applying the same treatment to the festive mini dress. Scroll down to see how we make it work for your BFF’s shindig, a family function, and your colleague’s yearly event.
#CASUAL DINNER PARTY
