My mom can't look better than me!

Help!!!! lol

I'm going to the Venezuelan Society Christmas Party in 2 weeks and I went dress shopping with my mom last weekend. I was just going to wear something I already have and bought the dress for the wedding instead. (see older post) My mom bought an amazing dress for the party. Its knee length with a faux wrap with a fitted top that has 1 long flowy sleeve with beading. She looks smoking hot in it!

I started looking through my closet for something to wear last night and I have nothing! I mean, I have dresses, but nothing that is a formal cocktail dress that is tasteful but sexy. (Venezuelans have no qualms about being too sexy lol) so I need serious help! I need a dress that is about knee length, somewhat fitted and semi formal (but not prom-ish) and preferably not one sleeve so I don't match my mom, but I can't really spend more than $50. I know its a tall order, but you ladies are so awesome at stuff like this!

TIA sooooo much! I just can't be out-done by my mom! lol

The pink with sequins is super fun, but OMG that draped fringe is amazing and only $40!!!!  I will have to go by H&M tonight!

ETA: Hope I like that last one too! I wonder where a Deb is near me...

CCO - What size do you wear? I'm thinking we should have a NEY dress-loaning service. I'm happy to send you one if you think it will work. It looks like this:

It's a White House Black Market size 4. So it was a little snug on top but the bottom has lots of give. Let me know what you think!

Do you have a Burlington nearby? They had a bunch of cute cocktail dresses the other day, and they usually run around $40. I got a purple one from there back in July that I just love.

Tiger, I love that dress! But, I'm a 6 up top and a 10 on bottom.

 Leia, I do have one near, though I've never been. I'll have to check it out though!
