11 NYE Accessories That Will Make Any Outfit Shine
Every year I buy a sequin dress for New Year's Eve, and every year it sits in my closet collecting dust. While I love a little shine, especially during the holidays, it just doesn't fit in with my workday wardrobe. So this year, I've decided to invest in New Year's Eve accessories. What are New Year's Eve accessories, you ask? Anything and everything sparkly, of course.
While Bianca Jagger's head-to-toe red sequin outfit might be my ideal New Year's Eve ensemble, I've decided to forego the idea of looking like a glorified disco ball and opt for a more practical outfit to reign in 2016. Instead of buying a glamorous dress that will never be worn again, I've decided to purchase some glamorous accessories that can and most definitely will be worn again. A few of my must-have items for this New Year's Eve are a shiny purse that I will use year-round to take my look from day-to-night, a pair of metallic flats that will elevate my work wardrobe, and sparkly jewelry that will come in handy, well, always.
If you are hoping to be festive without being frivolous, look no further! Scroll down to shop some of my favorite New Year's Eve-inspired accessories.
