When I worked at my law firm, we had a huge Christmas party annually. If memory serves, we alternated between having it at a big hotel and utilizing our own gorgeous reception/ break area (it was HUGE). My second Christmas working there, it was the hotel year. I took a friend of mine from college and we both wore velvet in Christmas colors. I felt incredibly elegant and had a total blast cutting a rug with my buddy and some of the higher-ups from the firm. The night ended with a bouncer at the Front Page begging me to please put my heels back on. A night well spent, if I do say so myself.
My new office is much smaller, a satellite office, if you will. Our sister office in Toronto joins in for celebrations but even with that, it’s less than 20 of us. Our holiday party this year is a dinner at our director’s home in DuPont Circle, which will be lovely, but I do miss the holiday party atmosphere of 350+ people who actually all act like a family- it truly was like working at a small high school.
The guys I work with now know I have a bit of a quirky streak in me. My Betsey Johnson shoe collection certainly has been commented on, but I don’t feel like I can totally let loose and wave my style flag around as much as I’d like to. I do love my leopard print, so I came up with two leopard styles for the holidays- one that I’d want to rock, and the other more subdued to match the environment where I work. The good news is these both also work for New Year’s Eve! Plus, you can definitely mix and match pieces from the two looks!
I’ve also realized this is now my third leopard-two-ways-post. You can catch the other ones here and here.
