You could go to that New Year's Eve Cocktail Party in one of the many Little Black Dresses lining your closet and blend right in with everyone else in their LBDs, strappy black sandals, carrying black beaded clutches.

Or you can put on Carolina Herrera's absolutely deliciously gorgeous "Faille" dress in a vivid green called "clover," slip into a pair of skyhigh gold stiletto-heeled sandals, and forget the purse because thi dress has oh-so-functional (but not really) side pockets with button tabs, and be the belle of the ball.

You decide.

The Faille dress has a flattering scoop neckline, modest tabbed shoulder straps, and crisscross box pleats on side. Since the dress is 100% polyester, you won't feel too horrible when you spill a little Champagne on it at midnight.

Then again, you might feel horrible because the dress is $2,590 at Neiman Marcus.
