Help me style this J Crew sequin pencil skirt!

Alegria · Kate Spade

I love it with the cardigan.

Metric · Gucci

I love it with the white shirt. I'd wear some high heels and undo another button. It's NYE, you can strut your stuff a little!

Suasoria · Chanel

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.

You all rock! Thanks so much for the input. I'll post the final outfit later.

I found this shirt at AT Loft that is a little bit snugger (and very slightly sheer) that I think I'll wear instead of the blouse in the picture:

I have a fun, blingy necklace. I was thinking about a belt like this but would it be too much with the skirt?

And if I don't wear a belt like the jcrew one above, I may wear these shoes that I totally forgot I owned (prob a sign I own too many)!

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!
