But, just because the party is casual doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be festive! These are actually the most fun outfits to come up with because you can take casual up a few notches and wear festive pieces that are a little trickier to style the rest of the year.I found these two-tone leather leggings at Nordstrom a few weeks ago and had to have them. I own a pair of full leather leggings, but the two-tone makes them a little easier to wear for every day. I wanted something festive since we’re going to a holiday party after all, so I paired them with a green plaid top. It’s subtly festive with the stripes of red and green, but can easily be worn after Christmas…and it’s only $44!By itself, the leather leggings and plaid top creates a fun and festive look, but the outfit just needed something else to make it special. I chose this killer faux fur infinity scarf (that’s under $30!), but if fur is not your thing, try a big sparkly statement necklace, like this one.
Then I topped off the whole outfit with red lips and a casual but sleek ankle boot. A pair of heels would make the outfit too dressy, so ankle boots or a pair of slightly dressier flats are your best option.
