Holiday parties are usually one of our favorite excuses to go out and buy a new dress—but with less cash in the coffer at the moment, we’re finding it’s less of a guilty pleasure than it used to be. We don’t have to go without however, as long as we do the footwork and find a super budget-friendly option that will keep us looking festive and leave a little in the gift fund, like this ensemble for under $80:
Ruffle Neck Dress, $64.00, Asos.com
Jeweled Earrings, $4.80, Forever 21.com
George D’Orsay Pumps, $10.00, WalMart
Total Outfit Cost (Before Tax): $78.80

It’s all about the accessories. It’s often better to go for a simple dress that won’t blow your whole budget and jazz it all up with the right earrings, necklace, shoes and handbag.
