Even though I go to a few holiday parties each year, I REALLY resent buying dress-up clothes that can only be worn a time or two. But when my hubby sprang the news that his company holiday party is THIS weekend (thanks for the warning!), I had to run out and find something to wear. What a perfect opportunity to take the Payday Pretty challenge to create a $20 holiday look. Thanks hubs!
So naturally I set out to my favorite inexpensive dress store, Ross. They always have a great selection and it’s pretty easy to find something under $20 that doesn’t look cheap or sleezy. Of which I’d prefer to look neither. But if I had to pick one, it would be cheap…I think. 🙂
I wasn’t too far into the dress rack when I stumbled across this awesome LBD for just $19.99. And who couldn’t use another LBD? I tried it on and it fit like a glove. Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
This sweet bow back detail is what really sealed the deal!

Usually I post my Payday Pretty outfit pics on Wednesday but this week I’m going to hold off until next Monday. Then I can post pics taken before the actual event on Saturday.
And here’s some affordable LBD inspiration!
