This. Simple, chic and pure class. This was another one of our favorites. And at it’s sale price, you can’t say no. We are dying over the stripes, which give it a polished, festive feel. This would be an adorable outfit all the way from Thanksgiving to New Year’s.

Foiled High Neck Dress
One Clothing
$19.99
———————————-
We love this color! The perfect berry shade is a match for all of Fall and Winter (think Thanksgiving all the way to Valentine’s Day), but the color is bright enough that that you can also get away with wearing it to outings during the warmer months as well. Win-win.
Eyelash Trim Lace Dress, Fuchsia
Jump Apparel

Dark background florals are on trend and the perfect way to pull of florals in Fall and Winter. The long sleeves on this dress make it season appropriate as well. Pair with black or bright heels and you’re all set.

This sleek dress has a cozy, yet sexy, yet sophisticated feel. Pretty ruching is always flattering and forgiving. The festive cranberry shade is very pretty. The dress also comes in black.
Scrunched Asymetrical Dress

Another fun little sparkly mini dress. These are so fun for any dressy party or a fancy night out. They are also versatile and can even be dressed down a little for a weekend night on the town, making your purchase even more worth it’s weight.
———————————-
We are loving the lace. The red color, little sleeves and simple scoop neck line take this dress from ordinary to adorable. Red is so perfect in December and January. This would make a very cute Valentine’s date night dress as well.
Floral A-Line Lace Dress, Red
Forever 21
$24.90

Love, love, love. The contrast lace makes this dress. How gorgeous would this be for Thanksgiving? We are loving this Eggplant shade, and you can also get this in Red.
Lace Shantung Dress
Taylor

If separates are more your thing, you can’t go wrong with a classic skirt. This lacey embroidered pencil skirt can be worn to a variety of events and will always look dressy and polished.
WOW!!! These are great finds!! They’re both stylish and affordable – two of my favorite things.
My New Years Resolution it to stop buying cheaper make-up that doesn’t work well and makes me break out and splurge and search for something that maybe a little pricier, but will last longer, have more pigment, and not make me break out.
Floral A-Line Lace Dress in red is my favorite! Awesome collection!
The Danica Sosie dress is so beautiful, I can’t stand it!
I cant pick!! But i definitely need a few of these…

The Forever 21 Floral Embroidered Skirt looks amazing!!
These are super adorable but sadly i’m still on a thrift store budget.
I hear ya Katie. My name is Ann and I read your comment about the holiday dresses. I too am on a thrift store budget. However,you can look super cute on our budget too. I haven’t bought a dress in years. They are all really great outfits. When I do my clothes shopping I do not spend a lot of money. I go for a classic look that you can either dress down or dress up. I own a lot of solid print shirts and accessorize with a cute scarf or necklace. Shoes and pocketbooks do wonders for transforming a plain everyday outfit to something really great. The classics will always be in. That’s why they are called classics because no matter what their look always stands the test of time. I do get nice compliments about my outfits and I don’t spend a lot of money on them. Believe me my money situation sucks but I’m always looking for a great deal and thrift stores are a great place to shop. Also,I never turn down hand-me-downs. I’m not too proud to get stuff for free. If you can try to invest in some shoes so you can change the look of an outfit. I bought two pairs of these cute flats.One brown and one black,different styles of course and I got them on sale for $9.99 each. Yes I love a great bargain. Very rarely do I buy anything that is not on sale. Just wanted to let you know you are not the only one in your position. I am too. Oh and if you wear makeup, elf is a great low price cosmetics company and their products are superb for the price. Hope you have a great 2016 and keep your chin up it does get better.
