Holiday Party Outfits Ideas ft. Urban Outfitters

The holiday season is upon us! That means shopping for presents, singing carols every chance I get, and holiday parties. I’m going to be honest: I can count on one hand how many holiday parties I’ve been to in my adult life (#IntrovertProbs). Despite that, I’m all about styling outfits for the holiday season and I know some of you social butterflies will be dressing up for holiday party after holiday party.

Sweater weather is here, and as much as I’m going to miss the sunny summer days, I’ve decided to embrace the change of seasons with open arms.

Dressing Up a Band Tee & GMO Answers

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of GMO Answers for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. Growing up, I was never overly adventurous with my fashion. I was known for sending group texts that went something along the line of, “SOS, what are you wearing?!?!” in order to be sure I wouldn’t be too overdressed or underdressed.   And on the day to day, my outfit was generally the same.
