Holiday Party

Surprisingly, this week had gone by much faster than last week.  I feared for the opposite since this is my last week in the office before heading home for Christmas.  I think it was the combination of watching ELF during the day on Wednesday with staff and now today is the Holiday lunch.  My office does not do a "party" which I am glad for.  We seem to enjoy the lunch and then early release so we have the afternoon to ourselves.

Yesterday was also my annual review.  Always nice to go through the year and know how much I am appreciated for what I do at work.  Plus, the small salary increase is ALWAYS helpful.

Anyways, back to the holiday lunch.  My office has a big divide between the individuals that feel it is a HOLIDAY party and thus, holiday appropriate attire should be worn (that would be me - it might be a lunch but it is still our holiday party).  The other end is the group that feels that it is a lunch... on a Friday... and I'm already dressing casually so I will dress casually for this.  It caused actually quite an issue last year so this year they tried to implement a "door prize" for individuals who dress in festive attire (also up for debate on what is included in that description).  So, I am wearing my festive party attire.... regardless of what anyone else is wearing.  And yes, it includes sequins.

 *Sweater and top - Express, skirt- Jcrew, belt - Target, shoes - DV, nylons - Victorias Secret

I actually wrapped my hair up in the "sock bun" while I was putting on my makeup to give it a bit more uuumph.  We'll see how long that lasts.

Also, to add a little vintage to my look, I'm wearing my seamed nylons.  I tried to take a picture, but it is really hard to take a picture of the back of yourself without looking like you are trying to take a pin-up photo. :)

Sorry the photos are kind of blurry today... I was rushed.

Also - This post (and the rest of the Christmas music posts that I already scheduled) makes this my 300th post!  I'm pretty proud of myself for posting that often.  Just wanted to note this since I will probably add more posts over the next two weeks and will then pass by this.  Happy Friday!
