I love an excuse to get dressed up, so I think this outfit should consist of:
A printed, or bold dress
A long, dressy cardigan (because it's cold, and you're with your co-workers, let not get racy here)
A skinny belt around the outside of the cardigan
A statement necklace (my favorite of accessories)
A statement bracelet (get blingy, it's a party)
Thick Tights (as in, not "see-through")
HEELS (preferably metallic or patent leather)
Here are some examples: (note that the first option of each article of clothing will be for the budget-less, and then the second option will be for women who need to get more creative with the budget, and convincing their husbands into the necessity of holiday outfits! :)
