20 Sequined Dresses, Shoes, And Other Sparkly Things You Need For New Year's Eve
New Year's Eve is quickly approaching and if you don't already have an outfit planned, you only have a little bit of time to find something that will start 2015 off right. You probably already know what's coming, but I'm going to suggest it anyway: sequins.
Yes, it's a given, bordering on a cliche, that most women will wear sequins to celebrate New Year's Eve. But there's good reason for it! They go with everything, whether you want to wear jeans or a faux fur coat; they evoke the sparkle of the night, from bubbling champagne to fireworks; and even if you don't like to go all-out with a sequin dress, it's easy to add a touch of sequins with shoes or a clutch.
So in the spirit of sparkle, here are 20 items that will brighten up your New Year's Eve outfit. Whether you believe sequins are a neutral or you haven't bought a single sparkly thing in your life (such restraint!), there is something here for everyone.
