As much as I love to dress up, I hate to admit that leggings are my go-to threads when I'm having a casual day. From black to brown to lime green, I have them in every color. They're ultra comfy and pair well with a chunky sweater or layered shirts.
But leggings can also be kind of blah and boring. Or at least that's what I thought until I came across a pair of Union Jack leggings.
It was love at first sight when I saw them online at Delia's.

shop your closet
It's the start of a new year and maybe you've set a few resolutions to make your life easier and more fulfilled. In addition to career and personal goals, why not have some fashion goals as well? It's pretty tough to get dressed when your closet is a mess and the top of 2013 is the perfect time to declutter and revamp your closet.

A good heel, specifically a patent pump, is a must in every woman's wardrobe. But you know what a fall/winter footwear essential is? The flat boot. When it comes to versatility, there's nothing better than this gem. Rock it with skinny jeans or a fitted dress and it's suitable for a night out or an afternoon of running errands.I wanted to wear the Free People dress I picked up on my recent trip to TJ Maxx but since the frock is short and form fitting, I toned it down a bit with my trusty flat boots from Deb Shops.

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.
