(Forever 21 Sequin Racerback Dress, $34.80; Vera Wang Black Sequined Shift Dress, $537.00)

Sick of hunting for the perfect dress only to be stopped by the price? If you’re only planning on wearing a dress once or twice, sometimes it’s good to save and then spend just on the classics. If you need to grab a frock for a party, event, or vacation “thing,” these are fancy ones that can be had for much, much less! Look for pieces to pair with your pending invite to some of the bets parties around.

Pleated Satin Pieces

(Forever 21 Pleated Satin Dress, $24.80; A.B.S. Silver Strapless Satin Dress, $154.99)

Satin is a sure win, especially when it’s in a metallic. Silver here speaks volumes, and the affordable dress at left is deep in tone to complement touches of black and grey in your additional accessories. Although these two dresses have different overall looks, the Forever 21 version keeps the casual elements on par with your usual dressy must-haves.

Fun, Feminine Plaids

(Plaid Babydoll Dress, $22.00; La Rok Pink Checkered Satin Halter Top, $159.99)

Another completely look that scores points with the girly girls in all of us! You can slip on a happy plaid number with a deep neckline and an even flirtier hemline for a look that’s arresting and coy all at the same time. Yellow plaid is sunny and delicate, and we love that touch of rustling flounce and skinny halter. Go on, be a country girl for a day– for less.

One Night Out on the Town

(Pleated Buster Dress, $26.80; Norma Komali Black Jersey Pleated Bustier Dress, $159.99)

Ah, that oh-so-tempting LBD collection that every one of us has. If you’ve got a line of black dresses in your closet and you still have nothing to wear, then perhaps a true DealCrush is the right way to go. Get a bustier dress to boost you up in more ways than one– both in your wardrobe and with your bod.

Tip: Avoid wearing pearls with your bustier dress– beware the dreaded Madonna-’80s look, unless intentional.
