Ugh, can we talk about how much I hate this whole "dressing up" thing? Like, who thought it was a good idea to wear clothes just because it's Christmas?
Back in the day, you'd be lucky if people even noticed what you were wearing. Nowadays, everyone's all about making a statement and showing off their outfit on social media... I mean, who needs that much attention?
And don't even get me started on shoes. Like, shoes-off at someone's home? What's next?
"Please take off your socks before sitting down"... no thanks.
I swear, the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that these new "rules" are just a way to make people feel uncomfortable and awkward. And what's wrong with being comfortable and wearing whatever makes you happy? Can't we just dial it back a notch and enjoy the holiday season without all this fuss?
I think the most important thing is to not overthink it, ya know? It's Christmas, and it's supposed to be fun! 
Don't feel like you have to follow every single rule or go all out. Just find a vibe that makes you happy and confident, and rock it! 
I mean, who says you can't wear a plain outfit and still look great? It's all about adding some personality with accessories or shoes. And if someone does say "shoes-off" at their place, just roll with it, you know? 
. All these new etiquette guidelines about buying vintage or repurposing old pieces are just code for affordable fashion accessibility, right? And what's with the shoes-off rule at someone's home? Sounds like a middle-class trap to me 
. We need more inclusive holiday dressing rules that cater to all income levels and lifestyles, not just the party-going elite
