Stay Glossing During… New Year’s Eve

Ah, New Year’s Eve. If you’re anything like me, you probably don’t know what you’re doing or what you’re wearing yet. (But we do know what party favor to bring to the pre-game, don’t we? Keep scrolling. #popfizzclink)

I love any excuse to get dolled up and drink champagne, but New Year’s Eve in the city is, well, expensive.

Once you factor in a fresh mani, cab fare, party packages, drink specials and the like, you’d probably rather not shell out for a brand new dress that you can’t repurpose time-and-time again. Or is that just me?

This is a basic Topshop dress I picked up over the summer. I’ve taken it through the seasons by layering, but tonight (remember, we’re pretending it’s NYE), I wanted to transform my otherwise basic LBD, so I reached for this fun-and-flirty sequined blazer, and accessorized with a few pops of color: jade earrings, berry lips, orange bag.

Now, a night like this calls for lots of gloss and a sultry stare. I used my crease-resistent Glam’Eyes trio, starting with a neutral shadow on my eyelids and a darker beige in the creases for definition. Then, I used a liquid liner and applied two coats of volumizing mascara.

A berry lip is the holiday season’s makeup must-have, so on my way out the door, I layered these three shades of Stay Glossy for an ultra-sleek sheen.

On an un-related note, I’d like to point out that this is my first outfit post of the season with tights. *Sigh.* Style blogging is much more challenging in the winter — and for obvious reasons. What you don’t see here is my down-infused parka cast atop my sibling photog’s shoulders… (I got her gloves for Christmas!)

  1. LOVE this look! You’re so right, it’s such an expensive holiday, and everyone’s too tipsy to pay attention to whether you bought a new dress or not! Plus, you’ll definitely wear a sequin jacket again, but maybe not that full-on sequined, feathered, and shiny dress! xo Lacey
