With the holiday season in full swing, you are in need of the perfect party dress. While this is just one option when it comes to the making a big impression at the company party or catching the eye of the guy you've been after, this is the foundation for one of the best choices when it comes to party wear. From Banana Republic, this Paillette Shift dress in black puts a whole new spin on the term "little black dress." Staying elegant while having a little fun is easy in this LBD. It's the detail that makes this dress something special. Pair it with a pair of jaw-dropping earrings, a bracelet and a knockout pair of colored heels and you'll have an outfit to remember. Whether you decide on this one or another LBD, remember that if you're heading out to a company party or getting ready for New Year's Eve, you can never go wrong with a little back dress!
