I don't know why every year I still feel shocked when I see Holiday marketing in stores before Halloween, and 2017 was no exception!

On a recent mall trip, some of my favorite stores had "Holiday Party" outfits on the mannequins, but I honestly could not see myself wearing any of them!

If you're a busy mom like me, it's sometimes hard to picture ourselves in all-sequined mini dresses and 6 inch heels! Therefore, I wanted to put together 3 outfit ideas for a more casual holiday soiree- 3 ways to look fierce and trendy yet feel comfortable and cool!
