It’s office holiday party time! Ahhh, yes. Tis the season to have uneasy conversations with coworkers you hardly know over a glass of bubbly. To aid in your mental preparation, I’ve come up with the following list of topics to help fill awkward silences when forced to make conversation with the person in bookkeeping that has a odd affinity for porcelain figurines. Discuss the following:
the weather
all of the porcelain figurines at his desk
how cold it is outside
how cold it is inside
whether he expects to receive a lot more porcelain figurines for Hanukkah/Christmas
this weather though…
Voilà! holiday party conquered.

Oh, and I’ve also set up the below guides to help you dress for the occasion. Whether your office party is a casual gathering over lunch, a service formal gathering in your building, or a swanky cocktail party at a local venue, the following will hopefully help spark some ideas.
It’s always a bit hard to strike the ideal balance between festive and proper at these types of work events. A sequined pencil skirt would certainly be odd for a party in your office where a lot of are in service attire, but if it’s a formal cocktail party at an upscale bar or lounge, it may be just the ideal mix of not-too-revealing yet still very festive. Thus, the following guide is organized into three general categories: casual office party, service formal office party, and professional cocktail party. keep in mind that lots of of the pieces in each category could crossover, depending on how you wear them, so take a gander and then go ahead and amp up your seasonal sweater/sequined skirt/sparkly slacks game. Tis the freakin’ season yo.
