Dresses that Go Everywhere

Hear are some of the hottest looks to get your party started. Begin with the classic little black dress. Jones New York's V-Neck Sleeveless dress sizzles. Available in Macy's stores or through their website in sizes 4 through 16, the dress has been rated 4.9 stars out of 5 by 44 reviewers all of whom would buy this dress again. Add a few strands of pearls, some gold or silver bangles or chains and your good to go in any club, party or restaurant from the most elegant to the cutting edge. Pair this with a tailored black jacket or shawl to tone it down for the office and then watch it ignite the night. At under a hundred dollars, this dress leaves you plenty of cash to fill Santa's Sleigh.

Another absolute steal on the Macys site is the lovely French Connection Lockheart Linen Spaghetti-Strap Dress marked down from $148.00 to an eye-popping $27.74. Regrettably, only size 4 is now available, but this is a gift for a younger cash-strapped buyer. A fab outfit for less than the cost of shoes. Add a smoking pair of pumps and head out into the night. This is a lightweight dress that can segue-way into summer so don't forget the wrap if you wear it into the office and be prepared to pair this one with a lightweight wool coat or warm limo as barhopping accessories.

Buying the perfect frock is a real challenge for us big gals. Don't they know that we want to look pretty too? Ruby Rox to the rescue with Ruby Rox Plus Size Sequined-Empire-Waist Dress that kicks major you know what. This is a sweet number that shows ample busom so invest in a low cut bra. Add a nice Jet string of beads or sterling silver pendent to adorn the neckline and you are good to go. This refreshingly bold dress comes in sizes 14 W through 20 W for women who want to get on the dance floor and just shake it. And at mere $79.00 it leaves plenty of shekels for the after-party. Let someone else hold up the wall.

For those who are shy and retiring like me (NOT!), Macy's offers the perfect solution. One of the top-rated dresses, featured in their customer favorite's section is the Love Squared Plus Size Pleated Empire-Waist Sleeveless Dress available in Navy or a Christmasy red and in sizes 1X through 3X. Customers cited the excellent fit, comfort and versatility of the dress and several bemoaned not buying both colors. And at a winningly priced $50.36 you can do both. A terrific find that will make its way to office, church and party when paired with the right accessories. This one is like its buyer-it never stays home.

Spense Petite Dress, Lantern Sleeve is a yuletide gift for the petite shopper. Available in both the classic little black dress and a lovely cherry red in a generous range of sizes 2P through 14P this is a kicky number that works the office and party circuit with equal aplomb. This one would look great with gold or an emerald choker, real or otherwise.

Ruby Rox Off-the-Shoulder Dress with Rose is a junior size little black dress in sizes 3 to 13 for the woman who refuses to let "junior" spell unsophisticated. This is a customer favorite rated 4.4 out of 5 and 86% would recommend this to their friends. The excellent fit was cited by all. At a deeply discounted $53.99 it is a perfect dress for parties or weddings.

So get your shopping shoes on and hit the racks. Chestnuts won't be the only thing smoking this Christmas.
