I love to mark the new year with celebration, but I am not typically a big party goer on New Year’s Eve. However, I do like to get dressed up a bit and go out to dinner, or attend a small party at a friend’s house. At this time of year, there are so fun party dresses that hit the stores. Cocktail dresses filled with sequins and baubles are everywhere you turn. Although I do love these looks, I know that I will never actually wear them as I will likely be overdressed and cold, even in LA. The fact is that I am a 40 year old mom of a 1 year old with a fiance who hates big crowded parties. Sequin dresses are not my life right now, and actually, they never really were.
In this post, I have pulled together several ideas for a more quiet New Year’s Eve that may not require the full sequin dress. I have included small elements of glam such as velvet, satin, jewels, pearls, faux fur, and metallic finish. Personally I enjoyed putting together this post for myself. I now have several go to outfits that I can wear throughout the winter months when I want to feel a little glamorous, for any reason.
All of these looks are great for any party, date night, or nice dinner at any time and not just New Year’s Eve. Yes, that means you can wear these outfits again! Many of the pieces are paired with denim or leggings that are likely already in your closet. By adding just one piece for that touch of glam, you are ready to go. Most of the looks featured are available now in stores or online, and with expedited shipping, could be at your door before Sunday the 31st.
