Hi! Its been a while! I've been lurking regularly but haven't posted in a while (can no longer read at work).
I have this jcrew sequin skirt that I hope to wear to a NYE party:
I need help styling it! I am wearing it to a party where most of the people will be wearing cocktail/fun party dresses. My boyfriend is wearing a suit with a bowtie : ) I was thinking of either wearing it with a cardigan (longer length) or a white button down. Here are two pictures with ideas:
Also unsure of shoes...I have these two heels - first is satin printed shoes and the next pair are black patent leather/brown suede. I also have a pair of brown flat boots. I have quite a few other shoes options (brown heels, blue suede heels, gold strappy heels, etc) but these are the ones I thought might work best.
I like the second shoes a lot, with the white shirt untucked and a wide belt if that works with it, plus collar-length blingy necklace and your hair up.
My other suggestion is fitted black fine-knit top of some kind, black tights, black heels and funky jewelry - theatrical black so the skirt really stands out.
Or ivory silk or satin tank under a plain ivory shrunken cardigan with the gold heels and gold jewelry. I don't like the above sweater with it, I think it's too "officey."
I think you need something more than just the white shirt (although I like it as an outfit. But you might need to up the ante if everyone else is in cocktail wear.) I like Su's idea of ivory & gold with the skirt. It is NYE after all.
I could also see a great blue color going with the skirt. I'd make the neckline interesting to keep it from looking too office-like. tucked in with a wide belt
or top it with a delicate cami, a tux blaze, black tights and booties.

Ditto this - if BF is in a tux, you need to make the outfit more formal. I love the idea of satin cami and blazer or even tights and booties with a different top.
When I started reading your post, I thought of a white blouse. But the one you' re wearing on the pic is too corporate, so, maybe a more "artist" white blouse ( if you own one, of course). Can be another color blouse - light blue? black? Or cardigan looks lovely. Also - LOVED the shoes with peep toe! Happy new Year!
