NYE Must Have Dresses by Sheila

New Years Eve is always about the anticipation of midnight, good times with friends and of course the glitter for us ladies. 

I'm constantly online looking at dresses regardless if it’s new years…its kind of a new obsession. Actually it is just an obsession. Here are my top 5 dresses that can be worn on New Years Eve but can translate well into other events like weddings or just a fun night out with the ladies. PS- They are in no particular order and yes I love BCBG, deal with it.

DRESS 1: Sequined Ponte Dress by BCBG

This dress has a rocker feel to it without it being too in your face. Don't think I would wear this again to a wedding but definitely to a NYE party and a girls night out. It has sequins too, so for me this is perfect for NYE.

DRESS 2: One-Shoulder Maxi Dress by BCBG

OK this dress is really the reason why I did this post. In love with the one should right now, its sexy with some class which is something I feel is important in dressing yourself. 

DRESS 3: Lace Scarf Dress by BCBG

I just tried this one on last night at the Richmond BCBG and I appreciate the silhouette on this one. You can dance it up but still stuff your face and look good. This dress can be worn again at work or on a date night which is why it makes my list. And look! Its asymmetrical, something I adore right now.

DRESS 4: Strapless Sequined Dress by BCBG

This one is true NYE Party dress. One of my best friends is wearing this dress this NYE which is why its making my list. You can't really go wrong with a black dress, now I wonder if it has pockets?

DRESS 5: Color Blocked Chiffon Dress by BCBG

Alright, I know this is not your typical NYE dress but hypothetically if I was at a resort for a NYE party this would be my first choice. PS- I bought this one and will be wearing it to one of eight of the weddings I have to attend in 2012.

Hope you enjoyed my top 5 NYE dress picks from BCBG Max Azria. Let me know which one if you favourite. PS- The easiest one to sew is Dress #2 and #3.
