So you weren't quite ready to jump forward into 2008, were you? Take more than a few steps back in time with the Sabrina Dress from ModCloth. The vintage-style dress is made of a thickly woven tweed with a metallic sheen in a palette of shades of gray. The scoop neck is lined with contrasting black grosgrain, and has flattering darts just above the bust. WIth a swing-y coat and a pair of black rubber rain boots, the Sabrina works well for January, and can take you straight into Spring when you switch your shoes to black patent heels with a sweet rounded-toe.

Available from Modcloth for $39.99

Saturday? Oh, honey, we are going out tonight! And we're not going just anywhere -- we're going there. Yes, there. That means you can't rely on a reliable standard outfit. You can't go with just any ol' outfit. You need to put on your A-game, and nothing says "Champion" than the Split Back Mini Dress by Rachel Pally.

The Split Back Mini Dress is made of a super soft black jersey that is 92% modal cotton and 8% Spandex to give you that fitted stretch. There's pleating at the back, and the sexiest feature of this dress that makes oh-so-Saturday-night is the split back. The dress is sleeveless and falls 32" so don't wear this baby out if you're feeling shy. My choice of acessories? What else? Sky high patent leather black stiletto heels and a teeny tiny black patent clutch. All gold-metal jewelry, naturally.

Rachel Pally's Black Split Back Mini Dress is available from Pink Mascara for $190.

The dress, friends, is not cheap. Marc Jacobs' Grace Paisley Hammered Satin Dress is $428!

But it is no wonder? The 100% silk satin sleeveless dress features a high rolled neck with pleating at the bust and tie on a scooped back. One-and-a-half inch banding circles the dropped waist before the skirt hits at the lower thigh. The dress even has vertical welt pockets at the hip!

Thankfully, the Grace Paisley Hammered Satin Dress, which comes in Rinsed Out Raisin and Carbon Blue (color shown), is on sale over at ShopBop for $299.60.

As if your gorgeous face really needed any help in turning heads when you walk into a room, right? Still, don't let that be a reason for passing up Rachel Roy's Jouve sleeveless dress.

The Jouve dress is made of sparkling khaki silk taffeta, with a sheer tulle detail around the collar. The fabric gathers at the bust to create some flattering "enhancement," and gathers again at the hem. The skirt falls 36", giving you plenty of room to show off those legs, and includes a leather belt to cinch your waist into the teeny tiny diameter that it is.

Don't bother getting brand new shoes; just stick with whatever black stiletto pump you have. Besides, you can't afford new shoes because the dress is $1,980 at ShopBop.
