I rarely wait till the last minute for an outfit, but with all of the gifts I've been shopping for and the overall chaotic nature of the holiday season, I have found myself without any pieces to wear to the upcoming holiday parties I have on my calendar. With little to no time to spare, I knew Zara and H&M would come to the rescue. To my delight, but not my surprise, I found pieces that not only work but also I love. From the perfect faux-fur jacket to sparkly accessories to gorgeous party dresses, I picked out 30 holiday-party-ready pieces that will make me look like I didn't wait till the last minute. Not to mention all of these options are on the affordable side, making my holiday party outfit dreams come true and keeping me on budget.
