from prosecco to plaid: sparkle, shimmer, and shine

With New Year's Eve being just a few days away (where did 2011 go? I don't know), the ladies are starting to put together their fabulous NYE ensemble. Depending on plans, it may be anywhere from comfortable clothes (if you're staying in the confines of your own home) to a dazzling dress (if you're heading to a party).

Of course, if your dress code for NYE is 'Sunday casual' you may think you can't really do this; oh but you can (and should). I, personally, love sequins (to a degree). If too many sequins or the wrong type of sequins, it will never work, but with the right amount, placement, and style - you're golden!
