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. On occasions like this, I find myself invading the group chat to cook up some plans just so I can get the chance to step out in a new party-ready piece. Shopping for an occasion that's yet to be planned? Some might call it delusional, but I call it manifestation. And whether or not your weekend plans are already set, I need you to see these 42 finds.
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.
