Any girl who has been Broke & Beautiful for more than one season knows that party dresses are on double-duty. Not only do they have to be perfect for holiday parties, but they have to be versatile enough to work into your existing wardrobe without too much work.

There is a difference between a fancy corporate company party and the party of a private dental practice – both are equally awesome, but may have different dress codes! Also, you have to take location into account. Are you and your workmates headed to a bar? You might want to grab a mid-length sweater dress to keep in line with the casual feel of the  Are you going bowling or something? Maybe a little skater dress is the best way to go – despite the fact that it’s a little “young” for a company party. I like to think that all of the dresses in this post would kick ass in any holiday situation.

Use your own discretion, and all that. I don’t have to tell you how to pick a dress. If you didn’t know good dresses you wouldn’t be here, right? Right.
