Ever wonder how you made it to the mall determined and ready to purchase things on your “Need” list, only to leave with shopping bags filled with items from your invisible, undisclosed, never-knew-existed “I’ve Gotta Have This” list?  With all the beautiful store windows, decorated boutiques and bold red letters shouting “SALE” and “ADDITIONAL 50% OFF”, it can be hard to walk past the stunning watch that caught your eye last month, or the boots that make you feel like you’re on top of the world, and the necklace or ring that you had on your Christmas list, but never got, and don’t forget the winter coat that’ll keep you warm through the cold season.

Of course, the deals were all worth your while.  You’ve had an amazing day of shopping.  You bought things at up to 80%, maybe even 90% off.  Through your exhaustion, you find a way to make it through the crowd of shoppers and get home only to discover that you’ve completely disregarded your list, including finding that knock-out dress for New Years Eve party.   Well, that’s okay, because we’ve got you covered.  Here are your last minute party dresses that’ll be perfect for toasting to 2013 and ringing in 2014.
