Looking Fab on NYE

Dressing for New Year's Eve is my absolute favorite part of the year. There are some rules of thumb that are so easy to follow to look amazing and festive this NYE.

Some rules of thumb:

Color:
Deep red, white, black, and gold. Can't go wrong.

Textile:
Velvet, sequin, mesh, sweater, metallic (on occasion).

Cut:
Scoop neck, peter pan collar, deep V, skater, bodycon, maxi, babydoll (I'm trying to convince myself that this is coming back).

The touch:
Whatever you do, make sure to add a little element of sparkle and shine, like sequined pumps or a gold necklace.

Oh! And it's cold so don't forget to wear tights or fuzzy socks.


Here's what I mean:
