The leaves are changing colors, the air is crisp, and pumpkin spice flavors line every coffee shop. While we couldn't be happier to pull out our fall wardrobes, we can't help but wonder what lies ahead. As MC's fashion reps, we're always looking to the future, with holiday parties and winter weddings coming up in November. It's never too early to start planning. Thankfully, at Neiman Marcus, now is the time.

From now until October 16, Neiman Marcus is offering 25% off all sale items. With designer items available for hundreds of dollars off the original price, it would be too good to pass up this sale at a time when occasion wear tends to be expensive. We found 14 outstanding party dresses, heels, and bags from brands like Stuart Weitzman, Proenza Schooler, Michael Kors, and Zac Posen to jump-start your holiday shopping.
