"Let me guess: Your office holiday party is just around the corner, and you&amp;#x27;re kinda stressing over what to wear. To help narrow down your options, we&amp;#x27;ve created this handy list of stuff your boss and colleagues should never, ever see you in. It may be a festive event, but the office holiday party still has the word &amp;quot;office&amp;quot; in it--ie, maintaining professionalism is of the utmost importance (that goes for champagne consumption, too!).

Uncomfortable shoes aren&amp;#x27;t cool at any party, but they&amp;#x27;ll make you seem like an especially impractical person in front of people you&amp;#x27;re trying to appear just the opposite to. Source: femenic.com via Yvette on Pinterest TOO MUCH PERFUME: I always splash on a more intense fragrance for evening events, but coming on too strong is a no-no for a work function. You want to overwhelm them with your together-ness, not your scent! What are your personal Don&amp;#x27;ts for the office holiday party? Do you know what you&amp;#x27;ll be wearing yet?
