This past weekend was my work holiday party. It was a semi-formal event held at an upscale hotel (the InterContinental) in a ritzier area of Kansas City called the Country Club Plaza. This was an ideal location since this area has an pretty amazing Christmas light display. The venue was beautiful, which was to be expected. The jazz band was excellent - good music and not too loud. And the service was also great. Unfortunately, the food was only so-so. With the InterContinental's reputation, my husband and I were expecting a bit more. Needless to say, it was a nice evening. It did run over a little bit with the executive speeches, but a few of us still managed to make it out on the Plaza for a few cocktails post-party.
Here is a look at what I wore to the event:
{Outfit Details}
Dress: Banana Republic
Necklace: JC Penny (discussed here a year ago}
Tights: Ralph Lauren (TJ Maxx)
Pumps: Aldo
Originally, I had hoped to borrow a very festive dress from Jess. When that didn't work out, I searched for something in a holiday color that wasn't too fancy, but had a little intrigue. The external zipper down the back was just enough visual interest and complimented the necklace I chose quite well. Having 3/4 sleeves was also nice since it ended up being fairly cold that night. I wore a Calvin Klein faux fur shrug over the top with a pair of black leather gloves.
Love the dress LL, very classy!
