We all get super fussy around this time of year- this looks like something Ozzy Osborne would dress his puppy in, that looks like something your mum would wear to work- until it gets to the point where you're not even looking forward to going out anymore because there's too much stress involved, and honestly, at this point even you don't know what it is you're looking for. If this is your issue every build-up to New Year then why not follow my mantra of the 3 S's: Sequins, Sparkles and Smiles.
- Sequins-
People tend to shy away from the ferocity of sequin garments (partly due to the snag factor) but if there is ever a time for sequins it is definitely New Year's Eve. For once, don't fret over whether you look like a canape consuming glitter ball as the light bounces off you and draws attention. Instead, embrace the sequiny splendour of literally outshining everyone.

- Sparkles-
The same rules for sequins applies here, more or less. But come on, sparkly outfits are just so magical, and nowhere near as threatening as sequins. I dare any girl to say they don't feel powerful wearing something sparkly or shiny (I know I sound stupid, I also know that I'm right.)

- Smiles-
This isn't a type of outfit I'm afraid, more of a state of mind. It is crucial that you wear something you feel, as well as look, great in on New Year's Eve. How are you supposed to fully celebrate the first moments of a fresh year if you're smiling through the pain of your boob-crushing, soul-destroying dress. Trust me, we can all tell the difference between a genuinely relaxed smile and a grimace-to-get-it-over-with type smile (think Katherine Heigl at the L.A. wedding in 27 Dresses.)
