The key here is multi-functional; wardrobe staples that you can dress up or down to suit the occasion. Let's start with a figure flattering just-above-the-knee LBD. In all honesty it doesn't have to be black but the colour says put together and yet blends seamlessly with a variety of looks.
For instance, if you choose a cobalt blue stand-out, it will have to be a one show only to avoid the ego shattering comments such as, "That dress looked even better on you last week when you paired it with those motorcycle boots I love." Busted.
Now slipping into your little black dress should make you feel absolutely fantastic. This baby is so versatile you will get a ton of use out of it so it must be a love affair. I picture a sleeveless A-line scoop neck dress with a structured look.
For your tree trimming party you need comfort and class. You'll be hanging ornaments and mixing rum and egg nog. Wear the dress over a white blouse with a longer chain necklace hanging from inside the collar, some sheer printed tights and a comfortable heel or ballerina flat ( if children are invited avoid piercing their little hand with your stiletto as their parents may frown upon it).
Christmas shopping requires a fashionista fit for endurance. Take the same LBD, pull on some opaque tights, slip on a colored cardigan and belt it at the waist. Step into slim knee high boots with a comfortable stilt heel fit for trodding and simple accessories to avoid over doing it.
Your office xmas party is a perfect venue to showcase your fashion flavour and yet keep the respect of your colleagues. That's right ladies put on the same LBD. Now office parties are not a venue to show off cleavage so if your girls are competing for the spotlight, slip on a lacy cami under your dress. To avoid feeling like a total prude, choose a colour like champagne or red. Because the dress is knee length and the boobs are covered, it's a perfect opportunity to innocently showcase your gams. Sheer hose and the highest heel you can walk in, (very important) will stir up your Christmas spice and cause Santa to take a second look.
It's only just begun......
