Every woman knows that the right pair of shoes can make or break an outfit. This is especially true for Christmas parties. Women must dress to impress as there are bound to be countless old friends and acquaintances in attendance. And let’s face it, we want other women to envy our style.
There are several factors to keep in mind when selecting a pair of shoes for a holiday party. The first thing to consider is the time of day. Is the party to take place during the day or in the evening? A daytime party is often less formal and may not require the same calibre of attire as would an evening party.

Yes ladies, I’m still slightly sequin obsessed this week! You might recall yesterday I posted about 10 party perfect plus size sequin dresses. But you might not want to, or need to, wear an all over sequin dress. Perhaps the party you need a new outfit for is a little more toned down, and doesn’t call for a super glamorous outfit. However, you can still add a touch of festive sparkle to your holiday party outfit, by choosing to wear a sequin embellished top.
You can wear any of the 10 tops I’m highlighting below with you favorite pair of denim jeans or classic black trousers. You can also wear a simply shrug or waterfall cardigan over many of these to help tone down you outfit even further and keep you warm, whilst still obtaining that fun festive look.
So there today I’m suggesting 16 plus size sequin tops and blouses, ideal for any Christmas do, and even office parties!

The office Christmas party must surely have been responsible over the years for more damaged and destroyed reputations than any single other event. Maybe it is all those emotions which have been pent up throughout the course of the year and simply have to be expressed before the New Year comes over the horizon, or perhaps it is simply the only opportunity to be entertained at the company’s expense in the course of each twelve months, but whichever is the case, all too often it sees ordinarily respectable individuals acting totally out of character.
In many cases, it is a combination of things which lead people to cross boundaries which would normally stay firmly in place. Alcohol, or rather too much alcohol, undoubtedly has much to answer for in terms of provoking inappropriate behavior, and probably the mere informality of the whole event causes many to forget themselves. Ultimately though, office Christmas parties frequently cause people to disgrace themselves by their actions, as well as by the way that they look.
