Almost as big a question as what you’re going to do on New Year’s Eve is, what are you going to wear? Of course, you can always forego your tired wardrobe buy something new, and we found the perfect items in which you can ring in the New Year — dresses that are chic yet still affordable (well, there’s one splurge in there).
This lace wrap dress is sexy and comfortable at the same time, making for the perfect evening out look and feel. You’ll also feel smart – find it at vintage Boerum Hill shop Re/Dress NYC for $49, marked down from the original $249!
Re/Dress NYC [109 Boerum Pl. between Pacific and Dean streets in Cobble Hill, (718) 522-7962].
All eyes will be on you in this sequined Stefani mini dress ($68). Thanks to its relaxed A-line shape, it’s an easy fit, but it won’t take much to look stunning in this shimmery showstopper by Tulle. Find it at Fred Flare in Greenpoint.

It didn’t take long to find this silk stunner at Cobble Hill’s Diane T., a go-to shop for party cocktail dresses. This light, peek-a-boo sequined stunner by Rebecca Taylor ($475) creates the perfect silhouette for a night out, has a sweet strapless sweetheart neckline, so you can dress it up even more with a necklace, and a banded waist for a nice fit. The pleated A-line skirt also adds flirty movement.
You can’t go wrong with this sateen skirt combo ($42) by Fashion to Figure, a trendy, contemporary plus-size women’s apparel chain for sizes 12-26 that recently opened in Kings Plaza Shopping Mall. The strapless piece creates a classic yet edgy look that you can pair with heels and hoop earrings. And it has pockets, which is always a plus.
