Nyc fashion blogger Kathleen Harper's holiday party outfit ideas
Looking for a last-minute party outfit you can easily throw on and head out the door in? Spare yourself from looking like a hot mess with a no-fail combo that's both polished and effortless.

I've had this cropped red sweater forever, and party season after party season, it's been a go-to for me when I'm in a pinch. I usually pair it with high-waisted jeans or pants teamed with a heeled bootie, but here, I'm dressing it up a bit more with a flirty skirt in a graphic leopard print. Leopard skirts have been one of the biggest trends of 2018, and they're only picking up speed heading into the new year. Shop some of my favorite styles below!

You know I'm all about accessories. And while this look is simple, the extras truly complete it and help it look that much more festive. I've especially been loving layered gold necklaces lately, and this initial bauble is one of the newest pieces to hit my collection. I've pretty much been wearing it nonstop. Ps. It makes a fab stocking suffer!

These photos were taken this past Sunday when it was pouring down rain in New York City. Cursing myself for leaving my last Christmas-inspired post to the last minute, I knew I had to get creative. Brookfield Place immediately came to mind due to its abundant natural lighting, beautiful holiday decor, and, most importantly, indoor facilities — crisis officially averted! 

While it was too wet to wear this look out and about over the weekend, it makes a perfect outfit for any last-minute parties you may have coming up. Festive, chic, and totally on-trend, it can easily work from nine to wine!
