If there is ever a time to have fun with your wardrobe, it's the holiday season. Sequins, velvet, feathers, bow motifs, red hues—all not only appropriate but encouraged. I always look forward to this time of year since I love to get all dressed up and celebrate, and I seldom meet a sequin outfit I don't like. With Halloween in the rearview mirror, all of my focus has shifted to full-on holiday mode. What better time than now to round up some affordable holiday-party-ready picks for all the upcoming festivities? I'm going to let you in on a little secret. When it comes to holiday party dressing, I turn to Zara and Reformation first. Neither of these retailers is playing around with its holiday 2023 pieces. I'm talking gorgeous velvet dresses, fun sparkly bags, sequin blazers, and bow-detailed shoes, just to name a few. These 30 picks from both Reformation and Zara caught my attention, and I absolutely had to share them with you.
