12 days of holiday parties: black, white & grey

Only a couple days left of the 12 Days of Holiday Parties outfit series! If you want to catch up before the finale, past posts can be found here. 

The outfit:
A white lace long sleeve tee is worn untucked (to show off the scalloped edge detail) over a zebra patterned wool skirt. A grey dolman sleeve cardigan with satin tie is layered over the tee and the red necklace adds an accent color. Finish with tights and black wedges or ballet flats.

Where to wear it:
This is a great New Year's Eve outfit if you are going to a party at a friend's house (or anywhere else where it won't be so crowded that people will spill their drinks on your white top). I also love this outfit as a wintertime Sunday brunch look.

Why it works:
The color palette is subdued, but the individual pieces have a lot of interesting details. The fabrics feel seasonal (which is always a plus for creating a holiday party look) and the textures make the outfit look cozy, but still chic.
