Holiday Party Styles
The Shop Girl says: Goodbye turkey, hello holiday parties!
Goodbye turkey, hello holiday parties. The party circuit is upon us, and that means it's time to dress to impress.
The little black dress is always in style but this season we are seeing white as well. Fashion has loosened up quite a bit from just five years ago. For example, you used to have wear a heel with a dress, period. Now there are so many options for footwear, like peep-toe booties and high-calf boots. No matter your choice in footwear, remember it's always better to dress up than down. That way, if you make a fool out of yourself at your company party, they won't really notice anything but your dress.
Dress up, and drink up the season.

- Miriam ribbed compact dress
A.L.C. Miriam Ribbed Compact Dress, $495 Joli, 1635 Redstone Center, Park City, 435-901-5064
This long-sleeve ribbed knit dress has a flared skirt, round neck, A-line silhouette. It is even more beautiful in person. White may not seem like an obvious choice for winter, but the rules have changed, and this simple dress has "holiday" written all over it. Joli is a women's boutique that was formerly in Sugar House. The boutique moved to Redstone Shopping Center in Kimball Junction (next to Splendor). With expanded clothing lines from Nicole Miller, A.L.C. and Misha Nonoo, this shop is well worth a trip to Park City. New store manager Jennifer Francis is skilled and professional at helping pick out just the right dress for you.
