This $50 Zara Dress Will Complete Your Holiday Wardrobe

It reached a high of 78 degrees in NYC today, hardly the crisp, autumnal atmosphere one expects to find in November. While I pulled out the only cotton dress left in my closet for the unusually warm weather and started my day, I had to remind myself that Thanksgiving is only two weeks away and Christmas is in less than two months — and I'm hardly prepared. I'm still in the process of finding a few key pieces to add to my winter wardrobe (still looking for that perfect pair of black platform boots!), and in need of fun, fanciful dresses (or jumpsuits) to wear for the upcoming festivities as my calendar fills up. From on-trend winter staples to at-home hair products to brighten up your locks, consider this your CliffsNotes to prepare you for the approaching holiday season.
