Yes, the gift giving holidays might be over, but there is nothing to fret about. Now comes the real fun! Up next is one of the most celebrated events in the entire world, ringing in the new year. I suppose 2011 was wonderful, but let’s bring on 2012! I could not be more excited about being able to head out on the town with some dear friends to celebrate a year closing out and a new one starting up. On top of all the fun I will be having, I also have the most fabulous dress to wear out. What you choose to wear for New Year’s Eve should be given much thought especially in regards to how you will be ringing in the new year. If you are at a loss of what to wear, here are some helpful hints for you.
If you are partying:
At a friend’s house. House parties for New Year’s are super fun. Plus you don’t have to worry about grabbing a cab ride home if they are close friends, you can just crash on the couch. For this type of party, you can definitely rock some denim. Make sure that your jeans are dark wash and fit well. Since you know you will be sticking around indoors you can wear some strappy or toe revealing shoes. Cute! As for a top, the sparkly, the better. I love, love, love this sequin and sparkle trend, and you can find shiny tops at all sorts of retailers and stores.
Out and about. One of my favorite sayings is “go big or go home.” If you plan on being out in town when you are counting down to 2012, then dress up like you are a big shot. Plus, you never know what kind of party in town you could end up at and it is better to be overdressed than under dressed, right? Again, I choose sequins for this dress and some towering high shoes. Make sure you have a trench coat or wool coat to top it off for when you are party hopping.
At your house, on your couch. I have to say some of my fondest New Year’s celebrations involved me at home taking it easy. For this type of shindig (or un-shindig) grab some comfy (but cute) pj’s, warm socks, and maybe a snuggie and enjoy your night!
