1. Trendy Sequin Cocktail

Excellent for cocktail hour and other trendy gatherings, including home parties, this sparkling sequin shift dress is great for a variety of body types. This can be paired with a range of shoes and accessories — from over-the-knee boots to flats — and can be worn with your hair up or down. The choice is yours! If it’s extra chilly out, then pair this look with tights, ankle boots, and a warm faux fur coat. Priced at $300.

2. Sexy Dark Mini

Elegant and sexy, this dark mini dress is ideal for mysterious masquerades, late night mixers, and anywhere there’s a general club or party atmosphere. Pair this with black tights and suede stiletto booties, and other black accessories like a clutch and long coat for chilly departures from the car to the party. Pair this with a dark smoky eye, nude lip, and an upswept hairstyle in order to show off that beautiful collar. Priced at $250.

3. Shimmering Frost Dress

This beautiful maxi style dress features alternating panels of rich velvet and delicate lace, creating a striking balance of textures and monochromatic color. Dress this look up for formal events with silver or gold pumps, statement earrings, and a clutch. Wear your hair down in loose waves and opt for iridescent makeup, like silver, gold, or white eyeshadow with a frosty pink lip. Priced at $498.   

4. Swanky Silver Maxi

Perfect for trendy events, cocktail hours, and even formal home gatherings, this embroidered maxi catches light like no other. The v-neck and high front slit give this a sexy vibe without having to show a lot of skin, and would look great on a variety of shapes and sizes. Pair this with a solid belt for more figure flattering action, and take your pick from booties or heels — either style would look amazing. Priced at $444.00

5. Polished Sequin Shift

When it comes to party dresses, this gem is a perfect choice for the classic woman who likes to show a little leg without going over the top, and is recommended for home parties or cocktail hours that may involve family or coworkers. This would look great with tights and sleek ankle boots, or a simple black closed toe pump and a box clutch. Opt for a cat eye with black mascara and a bold red lip to add some ka-pow to this ensemble — just make sure it’s smudge-proof for that midnight kiss! Priced at $228.

The post 5 Gorgeous Party Dresses for a Sparkling NYE: Friday Finds appeared first on EcoSalon.

It’s party season! So, if you don’t have the ultimate dress that you can wear for cocktails out or at that special holiday party, it’s time to buckle down and go shopping. To help you start your search, we’ve rounded up 5 festive party dresses.

1. Duchess Babydoll Dress

This Victorian-inspired babydoll dress will wow anyone who looks in your direction. This dress features an allover floral texture, a straight hem, and ruching at the bust. And unlike a lot of seasonal party dresses, this dress has comfortable, warming sleeves for days. Dress it up with funky platforms, or down with a pair of knee-high boots. Priced at $250.

2. Velvet Alba Dress

And here’s yet another dress that screams, “I don’t have to show a lot of skin to be sexy.” This slim-fitting turtleneck dress is American made and is constructed with velvet. This piece also is amazing for women with long legs because it has an eye-grabbing slit. Wear with booties, similar to those pictured above. Priced at $260

3. Alberto Makali Cocktail Dress

Sparkle and shine in this glittery cocktail dress. This piece is in excellent condition (bonus), so you know you’ll be happy when you take it out of the package. While this dress would look amazing at any holiday party, we especially like it as a New Year’s Eve dress. Wear with simple, black velvet shoes and ring in the New Year! Priced at $52.49.

4. Bebe Cocktail Dress

Celebrate the holiday in a classy, green cocktail dress. We’d pair this frock with a pair of platform, gold glitter heels to really get in the seasonal spirit. Priced at $33.99.

5. BCBGMAXAZRIA Cocktail Dress

Glimmer and glisten like all the stars in the sky with this gold dress. I love its high front and shocking, plunging back. The best part about this dress is that it was originally priced at $338 but because it is sold at ThredUp, it’s going for $65.99. We suggest wearing this cute number with a pair of green pumps.
