Itβs that time of year when fall weddings, events and parties start to fill the calendar. It’s also a year where I have several conferences that have formal nights and I needed some dresses! I scoured the internet at a ton of different retailers to find dresses that fit that formal cocktail vibe so here’s what I found.
