Tis the season for holiday parties and at least one co-worker overindulging on cheap wine. My company party is in just a few short weeks and I always struggle with what to wear each year. Even though my work party is fairly casual, I still want to show up in something festive. I don't want to spend a lot of money, though. Last year I was smart enough to buy a cute beaded top on clearance at Belk and I've already worn it to a wedding.
Thankfully there are a lot of great choices out there and many of them are priced under $25! Many of these finds could be paired with classic black pants or a black skirt, which is a staple for most working moms.
I love this beaded charmeuse blouse from Walmart's George line. I think this would look great with silver ballet flats and slim black pants.

The George line also features this satin dress in a gorgeous jewel tone.

I love this festive red tuxedo blouse from JC Penney.

This sassy red ruffle top from Sears would also look great paired with black pants.
Here's another option in red in a more classic style from Kohls.
Are you attending any holiday office parties this year? What are you wearing?

Great finds, any of these will look nice at a company party while still maintaining a professional image and keeping your budget intact.
