It Is More Than Certainly That Time of Year: The Holiday Dress

We're pretty sure we could do posts on holiday dresses every day for the next month and still we would not have enough. Because. Holiday parties. There are millions. Er, actually, now that we're thinking about it, we've only been invited to two so far, and they're both in cities in which we do not currently reside. Harrumph.

Topshop has the most spectacular collection of holiday party dresses we've ever seen. In fact, it cracked our stony little heart, because we needed to buy a dress there recently, but one without a single sparkle or sequin (you can imagine: heart breaking) and we left empty-handed. What can we say, we like the sparkly things. This is just one of like thousands. Sequin racer back dress, about $120

This looks much, much less a giant, shiny sausage casing in person. We swear. Frill sleeve belted dress, about $90

Fancy! But sometimes fancy is what you need. Foley + Corinna cocktail dress, $473

We're usually even more excited about Reiss party dresses, but the more we look at this one, the more enthusiastic about it we become. Maybe someone else will figure out how to purchase this online, from what they call their "online shop." If you do, please let us know, because we're baffled.

This almost qualifies as stately from Forever 21, no? F21 Athena dress, $19.80

We love this dress, especially considering the extreme-sale factor. Vivienne Tam dress, was $435, now $187.89

But what to wear over the dresses?

I'm loving all the dresses you're posting for holiday parties, but nothing makes me feel more silly (and cold) than showing up someplace in winter with bare arms. May I suggest something I just bought that is relatively warm--probably warmest with tights? http://www.lulusfashionlounge.com/products/Miss+Me+Collection+Art+Phase+Mini+Dress/7378.html
I feel confident it'll pass for both the upcoming house and office parties. It's even more shapely than it looks, and I was really impressed by the quality of the fabric. I plan to wear black tights and probably black booties with it.

Hey, the Reiss website has been updated and now you can buy stuff. That dress is 195 pounds though.
