NYE Outfits Under $100

Thursday, December 22, 2011

Whether you're having dinner with friends, attending a house party, or doing it up big and hitting the town, New Year's Eve is one of the most exciting holidays to dress for.


But that doesn't mean you need to spend an arm and a leg on a killer outfit. Below are my budget-friendly options for every NYE situation. All under $100! (And coincidentally, all from Piperlime's amazing sale going on right now.)


A Nice Dinner
A cute cocktail dress with a little bit of sparkle is the perfect option. I like this Lucca Couture number. It's on sale at Piperlime right now for $41! Add some black pumps and simple bangles and you're good to go!



A House Party
From my experience, New Year's Eve house parties tend to be more laid back and less dressy than a night out. That doesn't mean you can't have any fun with your outfit! Incorporate some sparkle by wearing a sequin top or these sequin shorts! The drawstring waistband makes them more casual. Pair them with a black blouse or sweater and some black tights.



A Night Out
Use this occasion to wear something you would never normally wear. Head-to-toe sequins? Feathers? Almost anything goes on New Year's Eve. I could see myself dancing the night away in either one of these fun dresses. The first is a MICHAEL Michael Kors sequin wrap dress on sale for $98 and the second is a Greylin Jacquard Dress on sale for $90.




What are your plans for New Year's Eve? Would you wear one of these outfits?

Friday Sparkle

Friday, December 9, 2011

Do you ever have those days where you just really don't want to get out of bed? Today was one of those days for me. It was cold and dark and I needed something to give me a little extra hop in my step. Luckily (for the sake of my co-workers and anyone who has to come in contact with me today) a disasterous mood was averted when I remembered I had a brand new shimmery sweater to wear. Instantly, my depressing frown was turned upsidedown. See what adding a little sparkle can do?
