It is the best excuse all year to dress up, try something new and get downright creative with your look. New Year’s Eve is right around the corner! So whether you’re gearing up for a girls’ night out, a quiet evening in or something in between, these outfit ideas will put an end to the dreaded what-to-wear dilemma on the biggest party night of the year.

Update your little black party dress with silver and gold. Every girl has one in her closet and while wearing something “brand new” feels good, you know that your little black dress always looks great. Make yours new again with festive silver or gold accessories that you can wear throughout the year.

Experiment with texture and prints. Alexa Chung proves that a printed white leather dress and a textured coat look fabulous together with the right styling features.

Match your pants to your shoes. The newest styling trick of matching your pants to your shoes is also a secret leg-lengthening wardrobe weapon. Try it with everything from a turtleneck for parties at home to a sparkly tank for a night out. It also looks amazing when you continue the whole color story to your top and match all three items.

You can never go wrong with sparkles and sequins. When in “outfit doubt”, add something sparkly! I love the way a sequin black dress looks with pumps. You can also spice it up with a printed jacket or some fun heels!

Cheers to a New Year and another chance for us to get it right.
