Ugly Sweater Party Style

'Tis the season for Secret Santas', cookie exchanges, shopping sprees, and rocking ugly Christmas sweaters.  The Ugly Sweater Party has been trending for a few years now and doesn't look like it's going away any time soon.  Chances are, you've been invited to at least one this Christmas season.  Here's a few looks that prove just because you've donned a tacky top doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style.

Time to throw some tinsel in your hair and spread the cheer for a tack-tastic season!

My "Ugly Sweater" (that I unashamedly actually sort of love) go to is this merry and bright vintage sequin vest from my mother's closet and a green tinsel headband from Target's dollar section.

Since ugly sweaters are in such high demand these days, it can be difficult to track one down at thrift stores.  In case you're getting your tinsel in a twist over the hunt, here are some great Christmas sweater and accessory DIY's that'll put an end to the search:
