A Different take on the Classic Xmas Party Look

A couple of weeks ago, I attended my significant other's work Xmas party. I was GOING to behave and buy a nice, jewel-toned, classic dress and do sparkly, classic makeup with a nice berry/red lip. However, when I was at the store looking for a dress, the one that caught my eye first was a little bit different than what I was originally going for. I didn't have much time to go shopping for a new dress so I went to the Le Chateau outlet store to try to find a good deal. I actually found the dress for less than $40 and the shoes for less than $25 which was a lot less than you would pay at the actual Le Chateau store! SCORE! Since I was running short on time, I grabbed the first colourful and loudly patterned dress that I saw and tried it on and it fit! YES! Anyway, here is a look for an Xmas party that is a little bit louder and more colourful than one might see traditionally.

If I look superbly pissed off in these photos, it's because I was. I asked my other half what time I had to be ready by as others were picking us up to give us a ride. He misquoted them by HALF AN HOUR so I had to RUSH my makeup and hair and rush to take pictures as well. Then we came out late and it made ME look like an @$$hole even though I would have been ready on time for the time he told me!!! ARGH!!! MEN!!!!! Thank goodness there was an open bar at the party......
