During the holiday season (timeout:  I can’t believe it’s the holiday season), one of my favorite things to do is search for the perfect party dress.  That’s not to say that I go to a ton of holiday parties, but the 1 or 2 that I do attend, it’s always fun to glam up in a holiday frock.

From classic silhouettes to sparkly metallics, here are some of my favorite looks that I hope to sport this season (read: I’ll be sitting on my couch all winter but these purty dresses sure are nice to look at).
