Make a New Year's resolution to never wait until the last minute to decide what you are going to wear. The countdown to 2010 has begun and you are experiencing some serious fashion frustration. A frantic, last minute shopping trip for the ideal frock will not help you beat the ticking clothing clock. You will either end up spending too much mullah on something that is so-so or even worse find nada! Turn to your own closet for comfort as your loyal LBD will be there waiting to ring in the New Year. This option is not a bore; it is what all the little black dress hype is all about! Use this basic black to create a rocking New Year's Eve ensemble. Here are some stunning LBD ideas to ring in the New Year in style.
1. A Laced Up Look
Pair your LBD with this seasons' hottest ticket, textured tights. Opt for a lacy pair and make it the focal point of your outfit. Keep everything else simple and let the tights make all noise. This combo works best when worn with white. Wrap on a white patent leather belt and decorate your lobes with black & white chandeliers. Another option is to throw on tons of trendy pearls and black fabric accented jewelry. Grab a dark, subtly textured clutch and slip on a pair of pumped up black platforms with sky scraping heels. Prep yourself for your midnight kiss with crimson lipstick which will also give your getup its finishing touch.
2. Leopard, Sequins, and Gold…OH MY
Say goodbye to 2009 cloaked in a sexy sequin jacket, leopard peep-toe pumps, and chunky gold jewelry. It makes sense to snazz up your LBD for NYE with a festive sequin piece. Try a toned down colored sequin instead of black for ball dropping fun. Leopard pumps will help you cut the rug while the animal print breaks up your outfit. Leopard, red, and gold is my favorite magical medley. Make this mixture yours by adding gobs of gold jewelry and a red clutch to your lucky LBD. Paint your nails and the town red!
3. DECOrate Yourself
Dress up your LBD for a more elegant affair. Transform your threads by pinning an art deco brooch to the center of your neckline, at your waist, or on one of your dress straps. This breathes new life into your black basic with a fanciful flair. Work in some color with an eye grabbing accent shoe. I chose blue; inspired by Carrie's "engagement" shoe. Throw some of your heels' hue sparingly into your jewelry choices to make your outfit pop when the ball drops. A blinged out bag, smoke show eyes, and old Hollywood curls will top off this number for the upcoming countdown.
Now that you have escaped a dressing disaster, party like it's 2010.
