sequin dress
Once holiday shopping is done, the next hurdle is what to wear for New Year's Eve. Whether you're hitting the town with friends or having a get together indoors, you want to ring in 2013 looking your flyest. But of course you're not trying to spend a ton of cash on an outfit and you don't have to.
A dress is the easiest way to go as it's just one piece to slide in to versus coordinating a top and bottom. Though you'll inevitably take a ton of pictures in your beautiful dress on NYE, don't feel the need to ditch your frock after the clock strikes midnight.
Continue to get tons of wear out of it by dressing it down with the one item every woman has {or should have!} in her closet: a black blazer. Or layer a fitted long sleeve shirt over the dress and belt it to give it a new look.
Check out the gallery below for a dozen New Year's Eve dresses for all sizes. They range from glittery sequins to figure flattering wraps and they're all less than $100.

This past week has made one thing clear: Fall is here! I woke up on Saturday morning and temps were in the 40s. The 40s!! I have quite a few coats and jackets thanks to last year's Salvation Army coat sale {I bought 5 coats and jackets for $100} ** so I just threw on my fave leather jacket and a tribal print scarf.

But after stepping outside, I realized this weather has some folks confused. I saw some people in heavy parkas while others were just in sweaters. And it's hard not to be confused when it's in the 40s one day and the next the mercury is in the low 70s.
Luckily, there are quite a few jackets on the market that will keep you warm {but not too warm}, are stylish and less than $100.
