New Year's in NYC - update: dress shopping
Permalink Closed

Hubby and I just made plans to go see a friend in NYC for New Year's.  He's having a party at his apt and he reserved a room at a bar/club for afterwards.  There's also the possibility of continuing on to other bars or clubs later in the night.  However, I don't have time to go shopping and I don't go out to bars/clubs very often, so I'm trying to decide what to wear from previous going-out outfits. Do you guys think any of these outfits are appropriate for a night out in NYC? 


#1: The skirt is corduroy so I don't know if it's dressy enough:



Here's a close up of the sweater, but in blue


le train bleu top


#2: This outfit, but w/ a green tank under the shirt instead of the blue one and black boots instead of the wedges.



#3: I don't know if it looks like it's for daytime:


kiley skirtcurly turtleneckwith a chocolate brown belted sweater (or brown velvet blazer?) and either brown suede wedge boots or these:


 Seychelles 'No Apologies' wedge in brown


#4 My last option is a black maxstudio dress I got 2 years ago.  It's about knee length with long sleeves and a gold-ish pattern on it.  I don't have a pic. 


Or of course, option #5: Skip work and go shopping.

I am doing the same thing, but I am taking the opportunity to go dressy. Especially on new years eve. Cordorouy may be too daytime. The dress sounds cute!

i think for a NY night out, you may need something dressier.  i have never been to NY but i wach a hell of a lot of sex and the city, like that makes me an expert right?, and i know that not every place in NY is like that, but if they are half that fashion centered and dressed up, i would go with something dressy. 


i would skip work and go get something fabulous to wear.  it's new years eve in NY.  but that is probably just because i have never been there so i get all excited just thinking about it.

I think the dress sounds like the best idea. The house party could wind up being casual but I feel like on NYE anything goes since people often have multiple events to attend.

I'm going to run to the mall today and see if I can get a new dress for New Year's, since I have't gotten one in a long time.  Apparently the Send Hubby Into Cardiac Arrest limit is $200.  I have no idea what's appropriate for New Year's in NYC, as my NYC experience is limited to a few nights of clubbing a few years ago, and driving through the Bronx on my way to visit relatives in RI. 


Here are a few I came up with, but I'd love some suggestions, I'm worried about being overdressed. 


#1                                 #2                             #3


Adrianna Papell Beaded Overlay Godet DressDonna Ricco Shirred Waist Silk Charmeuse DressLaundry by Shelli Segal Wave Print Charmeuse Halter Dress


And I absolutely adore these two, but they're too pricey at $248 and $380.  Can anyone find something similar for less?


#4 BCBG                       #5 Laundry by Shelli Segal

TIA!

I posted a bunch of my favorite dresses in Nyla's thread about a semi-formal NYE outfit, in addition to those, I also like:




These were all in the Georgetown store.  (Can you tell I went dress shopping this week??)


Forgot to add that you can make these less formal by adding a shrunken cardigan or cardi-wrap.  I also loooove this look...

It seems everyone has a version of the short-sleeve velvet jacket, so you could probably find something less expensive.
