LOOKING GOOD

New Year’s Eve in New York City can take many shapes and forms.
For some it’s a romantic dinner for two, and for others a night at Le Bain --- or maybe
you prefer a dive bar night at McSorley’s (if they let you in), or another NYC watering hole. Regardless of where you’ll be this year on the big night,
you’ll want to look your best.
Not all of us see NYE as an opportunity to wear
as many sequins as possible, and depending on your choice of party venue, it may
not be appropriate. So we’ve got you covered with a variety of chic, fashion-forward ensembles to suit your taste and match your plans to ring in the New Year.
If you’re looking forward to a New Year’s Eve with the one and only one you love, you may be looking for something comfortably sexy
that still celebrates this annual special occasion. The Cleo Funnelneck Dress by Milly has got
you covered. The form-fitting sleeveless bodice and flirty pleated skirt, all
in a metallic tweed is the perfect answer to a romantic NYE at a fab
restaurant.
If you’re more of a pants kind of girl, pair the Zara Peplum
Jumpsuit with a statement necklace like the Candy Turnlock from Marc by Marc Jacobs.

For the single ladies out there who will welcome the new
year with a night of dancing (and then some more dancing), the night represents the
perfect opportunity to go all out. Other than Halloween, New Year’s Eve is (in
my mind), the one other night of the year when an over-the-top amount of
embellishment is not only acceptable, but welcome. So if glitter suits your personality, then glitter it up!
Candela’s ‘Paige Dress is
chic and celebratory, with glossy sequins and an illusion neckline. If sequins
and scoop-necks aren’t enough for you, add some color-blocking and go with this
Colorblock Sequin Dress from Madewell.
Now if neither of the above sound like your kind of night,
let alone your kind of New Year’s Eve celebration, maybe you’ll find yourself
getting down and dirty in a local dive bar. And if that’s the case, sequin
dresses may not be what you’re looking for. These [BLANKNYC] Coated SkinnyJeans in jagermeister (the color, not the beverage), paired with this Beloved
Top with Sequined Sleeves from ASOS, is the perfect edgy, fun combo.

Care to splurge a bit? Go for this Alexander Wang croc-embossed leather mini-skirt and feminize your look with this Metallic Lace Top from Velvet by Graham & Spencer.
Regardless of where or how you choose to ring in the New
Year, it's most important that you’re surrounded by the ones you love, and that
you're dressed stylishly, of course. If you feel good, you look good. You'll surely be the envy of other New York party-goers, and your date will stick by your side through the midnight hour and long after the music stops playing. Happy New Year to all!

I am having a sweatpants party at my place this year. Bunch of friends decided to ditch the bar scene and go casual.
Great suggestions here.
Happy New Years!
The sweatpants party sounds perfect to me--how fun. I think we are going to cook dinner and then hit a local pub for the ball drop. Nothing major this year either. Happy New Year!
I love the pants!
