New Year's Eve

While most people end up celebrating NYE out on the town, I usually am spending the day working to create a memorable celebration- this year, the restaurant is hosting what will turn out to be a spectacular, black tie event. Which of course means we get to doll up as well! 

Knowing full well I will have to work what will be a long shift that night, followed by ringing in the New Year with many good friends after, I knew I would need an outfit that was both super chic and super comfortable. (With a change of heels, of course!) 

I didn't want to spend the money I normally would on such an event, so off to the discount shops I go! Here is what I came up with...


 

Sequined stretchy dress from Forever 21 ($35)

.925 Sterling Silver Classic CZ Art Deco Chandelier Earrings

Vintage Art deco earrings that were from my Grandma

I found a pair of great nude flats today for summer - the Steve Madden Heaven Flat, which I’ve had before and really liked.
Originally $50, got them for $17 at DSW today on the clearance rack!

ROBERTO CAVALLI - Platform sandals

Splurge alert! For after work, a beautiful pair of Roberto Cavalli sandals from Yoox - these shoes will make the inexpensive dress look like a million bucks($280)
