It’s New Year’s Eve! Tonight, I’m going out with my friends to celebrate in a gorgeous outfit it took me some time to find.

Story time!

I really had not planned on buying something new for New Year’s, because until maybe two weeks ago I had no definitive plans. My best friend suggested a club, and I found a really good deal on tickets for us to go and celebrate.

$40 for open bar til 1, free snacks, champagne toast, AND  free breakfast? Win!

So last week, I decided to order a new dress for the new year. I figured I’d just pay for the rush shipping so it would be here in time. And then I had a problem. Which dress?

Here were the top three:

From Eloquii.

You’ll remember this dress from my Holiday Look Book. So pretty, and simple.

From ASOS.

Now, I have to wear black every day at work, so I don’t like to wear it when I go out. But I love the length of this dress because I love my legs. 🙂

From ASOS.

This was the final contender, and I love it because it had elements from the previous two: sparkle and short. And I don’t own any white dresses, so of course, this look won! Look at the detail around the collar:

I like this because now I don’t need a necklace and I can add all of the bangles and rings I want to dress it up.

So, after all of that, I finally order, pay for the rush shipping, and pray it makes it here on time. When I get my order confirmation, I hit the tracking button.

It’s going to make it here today. Problem is, I’m working late shift and won’t be here to get it. And I won’t have time to come home and change, so I’m changing at work.

*sad trombone*

Now I need a plan B. But I always have a plan B, and I’m gonna look great tonight despite not having my original dress I ordered.

You’ll see that look Friday! 🙂

Have a safe and happy New Year!
