Mama’s Holiday Party Style

December 22, 2011
Last Friday night my company had it’s Holiday party.  My company is super casual and normally our parties are not much more then a Happy Hour.  This year they pulled out the stops and we had a Casino themed party and they wanted us to dress the part.

I am wearing a French Connection dress. I wore this dress for my bachlorette party over 4 years ago!  These STUNNING earrings are from Pretty Girl Glam!

Mister and I.

NO! That is NOT a baby bump! Bad lighting, LOL!  And yes, I did wear tights with Jeffrey Campbell open toe shoes.  This is a big debate issue.  I think if you are wearing thick or opaque tights it can work.  Don’t do it with panty hose!  I also suggest not to wear them with sling backs shoes.  But that’s my opinion.

Where do you stand on the tight or panty hose with open toe shoes?

    Love those earrings.
    I reject pantyhose and open toed shoes. I just can’t get with it. I’d rather look crazy with no tights in the winter – I just throw on some leg warmers 🙂

    Hot outfit! Love this look it is chic and sexy all at once. I was totally against open toed shoes with tights or but currently I have worn opened toed shoes with thick tights and I like it.

    Wow you look fabulous girl! Love the dress, the color is beautiful and I agree tights are ok with open toe shoes but I truly detest pantyhose with anything open toe.

    You look Cute Girl! Love those earrings. As far as stockings, I prefer not to wear them with opened toed shoes.

    Work it girl! I agree with you tights ok with open toed shoes. Pantyhose – not so much. They end up looking granny like.

    I Hate Pantyhose but I Love Opaque tights! I think you have to have the confidence to pull them off and you are Killing em right now lol. I wore slingbacks w/ mine last weekend I will email you the pic.

    When it comes to open toed shoes and wearing tights or panthose with them, I say to each her own. Fashion is about having fun. Everything in life can’t be taken so seriously.

    Anyways, you certainly pulled off the look. Love the dress and the earrings!

    You look great Trina. I love your earrings..they are the perfect complement to your outfit. As far as tights with open toe shoes, I think it perfectly okay! Just like you said, you have to wear opaque tights, not stockings.

    I wear opaque tights with sandals or open toe shoes. It’s cold here and sometimes the open shoe is just the right shoe.

    I do make sure the toe seam is nicely tucked. 🙂

    I love your outfit. The dress is such a pretty color.
