Pretty Ugly Sweaters

Pretty Ugly Sweaters
1 2 3 4 5 6

Tell me...would you wear any of these sweaters?!

Believe it or not...the once joke of finding mom's old Christmas sweater from the 90's has quickly become a real trend...and a high fashion trend at that!  These sweaters range from $78 up to $1,430!!!  That's no joke!  I personally can't imagine spending that kind of money on a sweater like this {makes me wish I held onto some of my mom's sweaters though!}...but maybe I'll be eating my words one day?

For those that are faced with an "Ugly Sweater" Christmas Party this year...have no fear.  I still think you can rock the look and still look chic!


Pretty Ugly Sweater Party



Instead of a sweater, why not rock a sweater dress?!  This one, while still pricey, is kind of artsy and fun as opposed to over-the-top tacky and obnoxious. 

Of course it's all about the accessories!  These wedge boots are pretty fabulous...I love the metallic detail.  As well as the gold cuff bracelet.  And the little snowflake earrings are perfect for the season.

I adore this fluffy fur handbag...or if you prefer a clutch, this Top Shop one does the trick.  Last, I would LOVE this Kate Spade iPhone cover...it's so glittery and girlie!

So...do you have any fun parties this weekend?  An ugly sweater party perhaps?!

PS...want another fun holiday attire party idea?!   Head on over to the girl in the red shoes to see what I whipped up for Julie!

    I love festive outfits! especially the one you did for Julie. Some of those ugly sweaters above aren't too bad, but I def wouldn't pay $200 for them. Yikes.

    I agree - I would never pay a lot of an "ugly sweater" although I will admit, some of them are super cute (in a dorky kind of way). xoxo

    Hilarious. I JUST told ryan last night he should rock an ugly christmas sweater at the Hospital. I think it would be hilarious. He didn't. Love those wedge boots. Sadly, we had to cancel our own party because of our leak but we are all headed to the spectrum Saturday night for fun! xoxo

    $1k for an ugly sweater?!? Insanity. No ugly sweater parties for me this year, but if I did, that outfit you picked out would be my inspiration!

    I know! Can you believe that the ugly Christmas sweater is back in fashion! 5 years ago I wouldn't have believed it if someone told me! ha

    Love the look you put together - I think I could totally wear it to an ugly christmas sweater party without looking completely ridiculous!
