Comfort and Style: New Year's Eve outfit 2016 - Boohoo Embellished Dress

We're less than a week away from 2016. Let that sink in for a minute or two.

This time around, I have no idea what I'm doing to ring in the New Year - I've had a few pretty good invitations, but I'm working until 5.30pm that day so don't want to travel to Brisbane or the Gold Coast. I will definitely enjoy a few drinks, but where and who with... yet to be decided. If you are having a rip-roaring party in the vicinity of my house (ideally walking distance), maybe I could come to yours, hehe? I'll bring the rosé.

New Year's Eve is nothing if not the night of sparkly, sequined dresses. NYE is the night I dress unashamedly like a fashion magpie. If it’s sparkly, shiny and/or covered in glitz, I’m wearing it. Because if you can’t sparkle like a Dancing with the Stars contestant on the first and last night of the year, when can you?

I've even taken my love of the NYE bling on camping trips - really. One year, we were on Fraser Island for NYE, and while everyone else was in swimmers, tank tops and shorts all day and night, I stepped it up with a black ruffly cotton frock and a giant Swarovski necklace so sparkly that I could signal ships with it. And of course, a glass or three of champagne.

This blinged-up embellished chiffon number from Boohoo is going to be the perfect frock for whatever I get up to this year - easily dressed up with nude heels and a muted gold leather clutch, or I could dial it down a little with flat sandals and a crossbody bag to enjoy a more casual night out at a friend's place.
