It's
that time of year again when we all need a pretty dress to wear to a Christmas
party or two or three. Personally, I don't like spending a lot on special
occasion dresses because once the occasion is over, the dress will hang in my
closet for a long time, if not forever, or at least until I donate it to a
charitable organization. It took me a while, but I finally figured out that the
smartest thing I could do when looking for a Christmas party dress was to spend
a very modest amount of money and also to buy something that I might actually
wear to
They
can be worn more than once even when you are with the same group of people. You
can just jazz the dress up with new jewelry, a belt or a scarf.
I like shopping on line
and in stores. There is definitely more to choose from on line but there is
still something to be said for going into a store, trying on a few dresses and
looking in the mirror to see if you like the way you look in them. The
following are a few of my favorite dresses that I've seen this season. They are
all reasonably priced and very stylish.
The
first dress is from Newport-News.com. I found the dress on their
website. You can also get their catalog delivered to you in the mail. The dress
is a "One Shoulder Shirred Dress". The dress is off the shoulder on
one side and is black. It is form fitting and really accentuates your curves.
The fabric is a Rayon/spandex jersey knit so it is soft and comfortable. The
dress is machine washable which is definitely a plus. The price of this dress
on line is $39.00.
Another
great looking dress is one that I found on line at JCPenny.com website.
You can find JC Penny's merchandise in their stores as well. This dress is
called "Bisou, Bisou". It is an off the shoulder dress on one side
and has a sleeve on the other side. The color of the dress is black and the
fabric is polyester/spandex. This dress is machine washable and is priced at
$49.00.
Another
dress that I love on the NewportNews.com website is an
"Embellished Jersey Knit dress. This dress has an off the shoulder collar
with a scoop neckline and has a dazzling gemstone on the front center part of
the collar. The dress accentuates your feminine shape and falls at or a little
above the knee depending on how tall you are. The fabric is rayon/spandex. You
can get the dress in black or scarlet. The price of this dress is $49.
I
found a really great dress on the Victoria'sSecret.com website. It
is a "cotton ribbed sleeveless turtleneck sweater dress". This dress
if form fitting and very flattering. You could definitely wear this at an
afternoon Christmas party or an evening cocktail party. The fabric is imported
cotton and nylon. It comes in four colors, heather gray, sangria red, winter
white and black. It looks fabulous with a pair of strappy heals. The sale price
of this dress is $35.
The
last dress is one that I adore. It's call the "Worthington Short Sleeve
two-fer dress' and I found it on the JCPenny.com website. The dress
offers the best of both worlds. The top portion of the dress looks like a white
blouse with short capped sleeves and the bottom part looks like a black flared
skirt. You could wear it to an afternoon holiday party at the
office or just glam it up by adding a beautiful necklace and some dangle
earrings. A nice pair of pumps and your set to go. The dress is all one piece
and very classic looking. The sale price for this dress if $24.99, also added Cindy
E. Thomas.
