New Year's Party Time

Now that Christmas is over, it is time to ring in the new year.  This means a long list of resolutions and dresses for midnight on January 1st.  I have never done the sparkly, big party New Years, but that does not mean my outfit has to sacrifice.  Life is a runway and who says I can't wear a sparkle number to a low key party?  I have compiled some dresses from Net-a-Porter that I have my heart set on.  If only I had the money!

The Haute Hippe Sequined Silk Dress $695 and the Tibi One Shoulder Sequined Silk Dress $935.  The Haute Hippie is one of my favorite dresses in this round-up.  I am partial to the loose fitting, subdued dress.  I like this because it is relaxing and the navy color makes the sparkles more of something in the background instead of in your face.  The Tibi dress incorporates two of my favorite fashion aspects.  I am loving the one shoulder.  As my idol Rachel Zoe says, the one shoulder is having a major moment.  I am also loving the black sequins.  They are dark enough to be categorized as black, but big enough to make a statement. 

 The Milly Metallic Lace Shift Dress at $400 and the Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti Sequin-embellished Crocheted Dress at $825 are nice examples of a more subdued New Years ensembles.  I enjoy the Milly because it is classy and gold.  Most lean towards the silver sparkles, but gold is a metallic too and worthy as a New Years Dress option.  The Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti combines New Years with cocktail.  Stripes don't work on everyone because sometimes the horizontal stripe is unflattering, but that aside I really love the alternating silver and black stripes.  Add a black tuxedo blazer and you are good to go for the night!

The Rebecca Taylor Strapless Silk Bustier Dress at $495 and the Alice + Olivia Maggie Sequined Georgette Dress are nice because they have a hint of sparkle.  Some do not like to go all out for the New Year, but still want that wow-factor sparkle.  The Rebecca Taylor is a nice option because whether you have a waste or not, this dress will accentuate it.  And I am always a fan of a fuller, girly skirt.  I have been a long time devotee to Alive + Olivia and I absolutely love this dress.  It has the hint of sparkle on top, but a draped skirt on the bottom.  Love.

So writing this post has made me even more excited for the big night.  Excited enough to online shop a little more? Oh yes.  Happy Early New Year Everyone!
