It’s every girl’s (and some boys’) dilemma: finding the perfect party dress for all those holiday parties that crop up every December. But you’re also on a budget — what to do? Hopefully I can help. Here are some of my favorites, from the ultra cheap chic to the less-cheap-but-won’t-necessarily-break-the-bank chic.

Fun, flirty party dresses: This H&M dress ($19.95) with a vintage-vibe print is super cute and super affordable. Looking for a little more sparkle? Try this Forever 21 black sequin dress ($24.80).

Work party dresses: Sure, you like fun and flirty, but maybe your boss doesn’t. Check out this Banana Republic silver silk drape dress ($150.00), which is still fun but a little less flirty than the others listed above. Need something more conservative? Try this Adrianna Papell dress ($138.00). It has movement but doesn’t reveal too much.

Sweet yet sexy dresses: Can’t decide on a dress because you want something fun but not too fun? You have class, right? Well, OK then. See this Club Monaco Amber dress ($189.00). Gorgeous, fun and classy. This Eliza J metallic dress ($138.00) is very cute and can be dressed up or down (love the pockets!).
