Party season is just beginning, and the annual online-only Click Frenzy sale is on today, so I'm taking both these notes as signs to stock up on party dresses. So far I haven't got many actual parties to go to, but there are so many beautiful dresses in the sales today that I'm coming up with excuses as to why I need them all. Friday night dinners at the pub are just so much more fun when you're wearing ruffles and silk, right?
Below, I've rounded up the best party dresses in the Click Frenzy sales today from The Iconic, Forever New, and more, so you don't have to worry about blowing your budget. Dress them up with heels and statement earrings for a wedding or your work Christmas party, or wear them to the market (as I'll be doing) with sneakers and a tee—the choice if yours.
