For those of you who worry about being overdressed this holiday season and bringing too much attention to yourself, Dianne Brill has one word. WHY? You’re going to a party. That’s the POINT of going to a party. Live a little! Peacock! Strut your stuff! Why wouldn’t you want to be the girl in the center of the room? And if by some reason you’re overdressed – say, in a ballgown at a punk club – and it just feels wrong, toss a little black denim jack over it and VOILA! The perfect high/low fashion mix. Watch Dianne break it down for you in her own inimitable style, below. God bless our fairygodbabe!

(Just an aside: My grandmother always used to advise us to overdress, “that way people will think you’re coming from someplace more fabulous.” Words to live by!)
