Do you have plans for New Years Eve? Well, we have you covered!  It’s easy to add to your existing wardrobe with just one key piece to really make an entrance this holiday season.  Grab a new fun clutch, one sequin addition, or statement tights! Follow this easy budget friendly advice and you will go into the New Year a little more plush in the pocketbook and stylish to boot!

A clutch or smaller purse can be your best, most practical accessory. Pick a carry all that can be used year round.  A leather, satin, or sequin clutch comes out of the closet in any season.  Probably the most useful clutch is one that doubles as a wallet.  It can be thrown in your larger bag and you will be party ready in a flash when the time calls for a smaller tote. Whatever arm candy you choose this New Year’s don’t forget to include eye drops, camera, fashion tape, and loads of powder to look your best in those party pics!

You might be living under a rock if you missed the sequin train.  It’s ok.   Times are busy with life so we will fill you in.  SEQUINS!  We are not just talking black, gold, and silver.  Go ahead shine like a disco ball.  Slip into a funky pair of sequin heels to update that little black dress in your closet.  A flirty belt will update that blah blah black skirt.  You can never go wrong with a little sparkle cami under a blazer or cardi.  A little goes a long way……ALERT! Use sequins sparingly to still add a little class to the night.

The last easy addition to a New Year’s wardrobe with little effort or cost is updated leg wear.  We are talking tantalizing tights and hot hosiery!  Grab a pair of fishnet, sequined, sparkle or patterned hose and walk in style.  The key is to add them to a mildly understated dress so you don’t look over the top.  You can pull out the old standard nude, sheer black, or opaques but why? Add a bit to those legs you’ve been working at all year long and step up with sexy shimmery leg finery.  Looking fabulous will make the night a bazillion times more exciting, but don’t forget your best accessories are free! A great smile and loads of confidence will take you in to a happy, healthy, New Year!
