Holiday Cocktail Dresses UNDER $20

 

Tis the season to be jolly- and spend a zillion dollars on holiday parties! Like really, by the time you bring a bottle of wine (are we too old to bring two buck chuck as host gifts?), homecooked holiday goodies (is it just me or do the grocery stores hike up the prices of baking goods at the holidays?), and wear your new dress with a new wrap, and a gift for the white elephant ($15 is a steep price limit when you have 5 white elephants to go to), I'm already dipping into my gifts budget for the year. 

Not to mention we're all friends and we all go to the same parties so there's no recycling party dresses womp womp. HOWEVER thanks to my favorite retailers it is going to be possible for me to dress myself this holiday season! And honestly just changing up the shoes/wrap/cardi, tights and accessories the same dress can look like 3 different dresses.

Here are my favorites:

• $17.95 Draped Dress from H&M: $17 AND you get sleeves! Will be wearing this with black tights and grey booties
• $17.80 Dainty Lace A-Line Dress from Forever21 : Love the lace cap sleeves, really love the lace back. Comes in red and black.
• $15.00 Women's Ponte Knit Tank Dress from Old Navy : Still all about the ponte knit- flattering and not too heavy (I haaate being that sweaty girl lingering by the food table..ugh). Comes in black, blue, berry, red, and twilight lagoon (i.e. light blue).
• $21 Attention Women's Lurex Dress from KMart: I really gotta give KMart some props. I really like back v-neckline and the pleated waste. I see you, KMart! 

Can't forget the accessories:

$16 Zermatt Wrap from KMart (super soft, comes in 26 colors)

 

$40 JustFab Booties

$7.00 Vera Wang Control Top Pattern Tights from Kohl's

 

$10 Bauble Necklaces from CharmingCharlie.com 6 colors available 

$6.80 Favorite Oval Ring from Forever 21
