Five Ways to Jazz Up Your Holiday Party Outfit 

Just when you thought you weren’t invited, you found the invite buried in a stack of mail mixed with holiday cards and credit card offers…or unopened in your inbox. Whoops. And you have nothing to wear! Never fear, Meghan and I checked in with our local style gurus, Megan Podolsky and Katie Coslov on how to get holiday-party ready quickly. Hint: It includes dropping into Mint Condition on S. Royal Street.

Dr. Shara, Megan and Katie celebrate the holidays with friends at Mount Vernon Country Club.

Five Ways to Jazz Up Your Holiday Outfit:

Add some sparkle. One accent piece will instantly add holiday flair to any outfit. This can be a top, a skirt, or even a simple accessory, like sparkly tights. 

Give Yourself a Lift. Although we’ve all become very comfortable post-pandemic wearing our flats and dirty designer sneakers – a heel provides instant party-ready vibes and elevates you to another level.

A Killer Bag. Shoes aren’t the only accessory that turns heads. 

Statement Earrings. As you greet and kiss friends hello, these will draw attention to your face and finish your look.

The Jacket. Make an impression upon arrival, and as you depart…unless you’re pulling a ghost departure, and then you can just impress the valet.

Drop by Mint Condition at 122 A S. Royal Street and get holiday party-ready – quickly! New Year’s Eve is on the horizon. And follow them on Instagram so you’re always in the know on new arrivals.
