Steamy slits and lace are in and Rosamund Pike can justify this. Even if you do not have a formal occasion on your calendar as of yet, it is worth purchasing this hot number for only $57 (extra 15% off with coupon code below!). This fitted dress is comprised of two layers – one that is short and one lace maxi overlay. Although the neckline is modest, the thigh-high slit sure isn’t! Pair this beauty with some nude pump and stun every time you wear it.

Pale pink is becoming a staple and it is not just for spring anymore. From pink sequined leggings, to pink jackets, to pink dresses, it is everywhere. Gwyneth Paltrow showed us how to rock it in her gorgeous gown last Sunday night. Check out this pretty pink jumpsuit, featuring a “mock collar,” cutouts at the waist and back, and wide leg pants. Perfect for date night or an evening with the gals, add this item to your wardrobe wishlist.

More drama, the better. Whether that may be over-sized sashes, or decorative flowers, dare to be bold. This off-the-shoulder black top will help you accomplish just that. With an exaggerated pleated ruffle around the neckline you will get noticed. Wear this fun top with some black leather pants, or lighten the mood in white denim bottoms.

Speaking of drama, how about statement necklaces?! Scarlett Johansson took a simple emerald green dress to a whole new level by incorporating an eye-catching choker into the mix. You can never have enough necklaces for that reason alone. Have a look at this one from Baublebar. Throw it on over a t-shirt, slip on a blazer and jeans, and you’re good to go.

Finally, you can never go wrong with old-fashioned black and white. Reese Witherspoon reminded us of this, looking classy as ever in her black and white Tom Ford gown. How cute is this box-pleated plaid skirt?! I love it with a black crop top, but a fitted off-the-shoulder top would look pretty stellar as well. The choice is yours.

When planning a special occasion outfit, I always recommend starting with one essential piece, and then designing the outfit around that one piece. That one piece could be a dramatic pair of earrings, a statement necklace, a blinged out top or jacket, or a pair of fancy bottoms. Well, since fashion is cyclical and sequins have been “in” for the last decade, I am starting out my New Year’s Eve wishlist with a pair of rose gold Dena Snake-Sequined Leggings (pictured to the left)! These “hot pants” will definitely get heads turning.

Now on to the top. I chose the Nalia Short-Sleeve Blocked Top (pictured to the right) in “Bare Pink.” Since the leggings are the essential element to this outfit, I chose a plain top to balance out all that is going on below the waistline. Not only does this top tone down the sequins just a tad, but it’s an ideal top to wear with leggings. Its boxy silhouette compliments the skin-tight leggings, while the high-low hemline provides just enough back coverage. Whether or not you decide to add another layer, throw on your go to pair of nude pumps and Voila! You’re ready to ring in the new year in style.

I decided to complete this look with BCBGMaxazria’s Upas Cape (pictured to the left) because winter white is one of my favorite hues. Not only does it match everything, but just when you’re tired of your grays, blacks, and browns, incorporating winter white to your cold-weather ensemble will undoubtedly jazz up your look. Holding true to its name, this sleeveless cape simply covers your shoulders while giving off the appearance of a classic blazer.

To buy or not to buy?! That is the question!
