I think that a small black dress is an essential item in every woman's wardrobe, but admit it, when going to a party there's nothing worse than being dressed similarly like, oh, dozen other ladies. You do want to get noticed, especially if it's company's Christmas cocktail party.

As someone once said, you're going to a party, so don't dress for a funeral! Today I present you with my favorite party dresses in gold (we'll continue with purple, so fashionable this winter!). Remember gals, dark or pure black pantyhose are never a good choice when wearing golden clothing! Go for tan, or even skin color, sheer is a must!

	Vivienne Tam Velvet-Trim Jacquard Dress is a rather classy and yet adorable item. Made of a gorgeous fabric with a subtle print and a wide velvet belt. Available at Saks for $520
	Nicole Miller chartreuse metallic strapless lace dress should satisfy all the hopelessly romantic among us. Available at Bluefly for $246
	Stella McCartney Camel Dress with Gold Sequins makes me think of all those 90s divas of the little TV screen. Back to the past, with so much glamour! Available at Satin Boutique for $1499
	Dosa Silk Chemise will make you look out of this world. The dress is festive, but a bit on the aristocratic side - crimpled up and looking great without trying hard. Available at Barney's for $380
	Karen Zambos Vintage Couture Tube Dress is certainly one of the prettiest tube dresses I've seen. The photo is too small to show, but it has the most incredible sparkle detail. Available at Shopbop for $352
