Nothing To Wear To Tonight's Holiday Parties? GofG Has You Covered (In Sequins And Fur)

This time of year is like the social Olympic season - hopping from one company dinner to the next year-end bash without so much as a tear in one's (bedazzled) tights. In fact we'd be surprised if there are enough LBDs and reindeer-pattered rep ties in all of New York to dress this busy readership. Anyway with tonight's slate of media parties in mind, I whipped up this little What-To-Wear for easy inspiration. Year-end bonus not included.

Correct me if I'm wrong but holiday parties seem like the only truly appropriate time to wear sequins in a corporate setting. Not that tonight's cocktail-fueled soirees will seem too corporate. Which is why you can get away with sequins (and taffeta and skin). Stand out from the sparkling pack in a moody palette - mature enough for Slate's and the Daily News' parties but with enough glitter to survive at Time Out's fete. Things are looking up for 2011 so more is more is more is more, and I can see all the new media girls swanning around the bar in these silver and fur and currant pieces (although that Blackberry would probably be an iPhone if we were going to get technical).
