Two weeks ago I launched Merrick’s Guide to the Holidays. I’ve been sharing DIY projects, party ideas, gifts guides, holiday style and more, each pertaining to a theme of the week. This week is Husband and Wife week, so I’ll be sharing a few holiday ideas for both men and women throughout the week. But today let’s talk about what to wear to a company holiday party.

Every year my husband’s work throws a holiday party, and it’s always a little tricky getting dressed for this event. I often opt for a little black dress, since it’s easy and classic, but this year I wanted to go for something a little more eye catching and festive — how about a little red dress??

This one instantly caught my eye with it’s gorgeous detail, and although it’s non-maternity, I was able to squeeze my bump into it (although I’m already looking forward to wearing it sans-bump next year).

It keeps selling out and being restocked, but I found a bunch of other gorgeous little red lace dress options that I rounded up in the widget below. They’re all different price points so you can find one that fits your budget. I’m in love with this one that’s a bit pricier, but I’m also loving this one that’s only $34! This one and this one are both simple and chic, and perfect for dressing up with a statement necklace or some big glam earrings.
