There may not be the overwhelming slew of holiday parties invitations this season, so pick up a sensible dress that will be in style way after the last tick of 2008.

And this T-Bags Tuxedo Dress can be roughed up for every day wear with a motorcycle jacket or cocktail party ready with a pair of dangling earrings and sky high jeweled heels.

Either way, at $179 down from $224 at Owl’s Lab, the frock won’t break the bank.
