11 Sparkly Fashion Items You Never Knew You Needed in Your Wardrobe — For New Year's Eve and Beyond
If you're anything like me, you know the value of a good sparkle. So since you'll be rocking the sequins and glitter to ring in the new year, why stop there? Sure, glimmering skirts and embellished shoes aren't acceptable in every setting (it is perhaps best to leave those at home during traditionally professional occasions). But when you're going out, grabbing dinner, or heading to a party, a tasteful sparkle is more than welcome. The following eye-catching wardrobe items are guaranteed to make 2015 a shimmering year from start to finish.
Charming Booties
Why not start at the bottom, with a pair of booties covered in party glitter. With any hope, that ravishing looker you spotted at a party will be able to trace you down because of the trail of glitter you left in your wake. That’s not a terrible way to be remembered, now, is it? You can thank me later.
