Top Pick: Nanette Lepore Baila Tango Dress

'Tis the season for more holiday parties than you can shake a stick at. We know how this plays out. At first the promise of all of those parties sounds like so much fun. Then, about half way through your calendar of merry-making, you decide that all the festiveness isn't quite what it's cracked up to be. You're tired, bloated and out of clothes. That's when you pull out this dress.

The Nanette Lepore Baila Tango Dress is the perfect festive dress for those occasions that call for a slightly more modest version of the traditional party frock. This slim-fitting, yet fully covered up dress is ideal for work parties or get-togethers that involve grandparents or in-laws. The body conscious fit keeps this dress from feeling too dowdy, while the super fun color adds a ton of spice.

To make a party-worthy splash, wear this dress with lots of sparkle. Try a crystal-heavy cuff like the one Kim wrote about last week. There's no need to drop a ton on your bling -- try hitting up daily online sample sales to score festive baubles at a fraction of the retail price. You can easily convert this dress to daytime appropriate by adding a neutral cardigan to tone down the color and chic work flats.
