As the days get shorter, the nights get longer — which means the fall social whirl is in full swirl! With jam-packed calendars, we don’t have any extra minutes to think about what we’re wearing, which is why we came up with a foolproof outfit for every occasion.

Start with a twirly-girly party dress; A full skirt is flattering on almost anyone, and nothing signals festive faster. Whether you are an LBD kind of girl or are bold with color, you have a solid base for your outfit. Now, add on a fun clutch with plenty of glitter, stones and embellishment. Even if you leave it at your table when you hit the dance floor, it still leaves a touch of style behind.

Sexy shoes are a must, and make the most out of the fall temperatures with high-heel sandals (no stockings allowed!). Crystal jewelry goes with every dress, so you can keep rotating your dresses without having to re-plan your jewels. A lightweight wrap or cardigan is the perfect finishing touch for evening breezes.

Now, all you need is to keep your calendar up-to-date and you are set! Shop The Perfect Outfit: The Party Dress, The Embellished Clutch & More on Gilt.com/stylecaster, starting at 9 pm on September 19.
