It's that time of year again—which means invitations are clogging your inbox because Holiday Party season is in full swing! I've made a conscious effort not to purchase any new clothes in 2017. So, I've been 'shopping my closet' a lot lately and getting re-acquainted with some vintage duds—which I admit—has been a nice change of pace. But quite honestly, I'm so over it. I yearn for the feeling of new fabric gliding across my skin (gosh, I sound like I belong at a shoppers anonymous meeting). But before you judge me, I'm not one of those compulsive shoppers who trawl for treasures knowing I can't afford them: my name is Stapha, I love to shop (mostly online), but I love a bargain even more.

Without further adieu, here are a few festive frocks I've been eyeing for the holiday party season.

This slinky sequin mini from Nordstrom


This slimming ruched sheath dress from WHBM


This soft but sexy kimono-inspired dress from Cami NYC



This off-the-shoulder velvet dress from Dillards
