Ugly Sweater parties are all the rage for the holidays. If you're lucky enough to nab an invite, here's how to style a hideous Christmas sweater and remain (reasonably) chic. If you don't want to spend more than a few bucks on your ugly sweater, check out your local Goodwill or Salvation Army. Otherwise, here are a few websites that sell some of the ugliest of uglies:

What to Wear: to a Casual Holiday Party

Holiday parties are going to start full-swing next week, so this week, I'm putting together some outfits for any type of party, from casual to super-fancy. Today, I styled this look for a very casual holiday party - maybe at a pub, or a tree trimming party at someone's house. Leather-look leggings give the outfit an edge, but a cozy turtleneck is perfect for a winter evening. Have fun!

What I'm Wearing: Casually Gilded

I wore this outfit last week when I went out to dinner with a friend. I was in the mood to wear some sparkle, but didn't really feel like getting dressed up for a casual dinner, so I dressed my sequins down by layering it over a button-down shirt (with some bling of its own), skinny jeans, and flat loafers.

Sequin Shirt: J. Crew from last year (similar here, here) // Button-down: Target (similar here) // Jeans: J. Brand from a few years ago (similar here, here) // Shoes: ShoeDazzle (similar here) // Necklace: Forever 21 (similar here) // Glasses: Coach c/o Lenscrafters (similar here) // Bag: Foley + Corinna via eBay (similar here, here)

Roundup: Faux Fur

It's full-blown chilly out now, so let's wrap ourselves in some luxurious faux fur to stay warm.

Vest $55 // Hat $30 // Cardigan $45 // Boots $33 // Scarf $44 // Bag $58

Celebrity Look for Less: Sienna Miller Style

Get Sienna's orange sweater, red bag, and leopard shoes for a steal!

Sweater $28 // Jeans $60 // Shoes $40 // Bag $21 // Sunglasses $8

Guy Style: Kellan Lutz

I love a dude who can accessorize, so I'm really digging Kellan's casual look here.

P.S. It's a lot harder to find decent full-length candids of male celebs (the paparazzi doesn't care about them as much as the ladies), so if you find any outfits you'd like me to reproduce, email them to whatthefrockblog@gmail.com, please!

Jacket $40 // Sweater $20 // Jeans $25 // Belt $18 // Shoes $75 // Scarf $8 // Hat $34 // Sunglasses $10

Celebrity Look for Less: Miranda Kerr Style

If only I could look as stunning going to a business meeting as Miranda Kerr does right here. The closest match I found for Miranda's stunning white dress was almost $150, so I included some cheaper but less accurate options as well.

Dress $148 (cheaper here, here, here) // Shoes $45 // Belt $24 // Bag $90 // Sunglasses $19

Black Friday and Cyber Monday Fashion Deals

Source

Happy Black Friday! 

In case you missed it, I put together a long list of fashion-related Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping deals. These deals, sales, and coupon codes will be ending soon (some end today!) so don't miss out.

What to Wear: For Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope that everyone gets the chance to spend their day with loved ones, stuffing their faces with yummy food. Posting is going to be light for the next couple of days, but I'll be back full swing on Monday.

It's too late to go shopping for an outfit to wear for dinner tonight, but I hope you can use this post as inspiration to put together an outfit from your own closet. Because no matter what type of Thanksgiving dinner you're attending - dressy or casual - you're going to want to be comfortable. It's an eating holiday, so stretchiness is key! A knit dress and loose cardigan is a stylish, practical solution.

Dress $25 // Cardigan $23 // Tights $7 // Boots $35 // Bag $35
