Whenever I'm getting ready to go out for the night, my plans usually come first and my outfit choice second. But every so often, it's the other way around.

From fresh takes on the classic LBD to crystal-embellished heels and a few items I'm calling "party basics," continue on to shop all the new items I'm eyeing to zhuzh up my going-out wardrobe.
