Sequin Dress // Clutch (similar) // Shoes (similar) // Lip Gloss in Naked

On a typical New Year’s Eve, you can find us ringing in the New Year at home with the girls and family friends.  My birthday is the 30th and we don’t often go out both nights anymore.  Thinking about what to wear New Year’s Eve takes on a new meaning this year though.  Some of our close friends have invited us to their daughter’s black tie wedding on NYE and I’m so excited.

This sparkling dress caught my eye online and I have to say it exceeded my expectations!  I love the slim fit and ombre coloring.  I typically wear an XS but the S fit best so I definitely recommend going up a size.  Because I am always cold, the 3/4 sleeves will be great in the church and at the reception.  Why is the a/c always on full blast at events?!?!  One of the best things about this dress is that is it only $128.  Love when I find a lot of look for a little $.

I’ll be adding one of my favorite beauty products to my ensemble.  This rose neroli shimmer oil adds the best glow to pale winter skin…or a summer glow, too.  I don’t leave home without the Lustro Shimmer Oil especially in the winter.

The boutique I’ve curated boutique below of the best dresses to sparkle away in for NYE and each of them is under $300.  I’d love to know your choice for what to wear New Year’s Eve.  Will it be one of these?
