If you let the holidays approach without getting a festive gold skirt, then you’re making a huge tactical error! You’ve got half your party gear ready to roll with this under your belt. For work gatherings, keep it classy with a tight black sweater, but for a night out on the town, sex it up with a top that’s borderline dangerous. But make sure you keep it classy, choose one that’s either short or tight, but not both. And if you want a metallic top, only wear it if it’s a solid color – you don’t want people trying to stick you on the tree like a shiny ornament!
