The most wonderful time of the year is supposed to be about spreading joy — gathering with families and friends, embracing festivities and customs, and, of course, dressing up for all those magical nights. Naturally, we can’t help but stress about all that! From party prep to outfit planning, sometimes the holiday season also has us feeling overwhelmed and our wallets overstretched. We’re all about generosity this time of year and showing up for others, but sometimes we need a reminder that it’s okay to treat ourselves, too. After all, there’s nothing like walking into that holiday party in a sparkly, brand new outfit to give you a serious serotonin boost when you need it most.
With your holiday wardrobe top of mind, we’re spilling on our favorite fashion girl hack for saving this season. Enter Ibotta, a new app for earning real cash back, not just points.

Seriously, you could plan your entire wardrobe this season and actually save with Ibotta, which is exactly what we’ve done for you. Forget the stress and focus on the holiday fun this year — knowing the money truly will come back.
What To Wear To Friendsgiving & Thanksgiving
A good sweater dress will take you easily through fall, Friendsgiving and Thanksgiving included, but a good statement boot will get you all the way through winter. Consider this comfy but cute combination the best investment you can make at the start of the holiday season (especially considering that boost of cash back you can put toward the rest of your wardrobe!).

What To Wear To The Holiday Office Party
Whether you’re finally catching up with your remote work bestie or heading straight from the office to happy hour, strike the perfect balance of polished yet party-ready by pairing one occasion piece with a more casual compliment. Tie it together with a trendy pair of bow heels or flats, depending on the formality of your office.

What To Wear To The Community Event
Gathering with your community for the greater good is one of the most wholesome ways to spend the holidays, and while you may not need a formal ‘fit, you should show up with a festive touch. For hosting and volunteering, a textured tweed-inspired jacket is classy and cool, making it easy to wear with some fabulous accessories to keep things fun.
