This year a friend invited me out and I decided to take her up on the offer.  It has been several years since I’ve been out on New Year’s Eve.  I was really excited but eventually the anxiety set in!  You know the usual, “What am I going to wear?” or “Am I going to find anything that is comfortable and looks fabulous?”

You know how it goes when you start the mental review of your closet and realize you don’t have a halfway decent scrap of clothing to wear.  I have several dresses, a few I had never worn but was quite certain they no longer um fit.  I started to recall all the Starbucks and other questionable food choices I’d made over the past few months…

  My Thursday morning habit…**sigh**

So I began my online perusal for an affordable yet chic dress.  After a few misses I decided to check Lane Bryant.

I found this classic, simple but chic Sequin Panel Sheath Dress and it was on sale (SCORE!!!)

I decided on the lovely Chloe + Isabel Deco Crystal Cluster Drama Necklace.  Can you say dazzling dramatic statement maker?!  This versatile #candi is gorgeous in shiny rhodium and silver ox-plate with clear crystal and hand-woven grey thread.

The angular lines of the Deco Drama necklace complements the square neckline of the Sequin Panel Sheath Dress.  I got tons of compliments on this gorgeous number, it fit perfectly!

By the way, we had a great time bringing in 2016!  Happy New Year!!!
