Amanda Talks Fashion: New Year's Dresses that Won't Break the Bank!

Not too long ago, I introduced you all to Lady Gray's newest member - our style editor Amanda. Now she's here to present you with her first fashion post, so read on to learn how to ring in 2010 with some serious style...

Finding the perfect outfit for Christmas parties is enough of a task, but then there’s that other holiday just around the corner: New Year’s.

But have no fear, there are plenty of festive, frugal frocks to be found. I’ve put together six 2010-worthy dresses - all under $75. This year, when the clock strikes midnight, you’ll be in style and in the black!
