Am I the only one who thinks of gold and metallic when it comes to New Year’s Eve? Just like I associate red with Christmas, I can’t help, but lean towards gold for New Year’s Eve. I wanted to show how you can style a holiday dress for everyday wear because I’m all about versatility. I love the challenge of being able to recreate different looks because I hate to buy an item to wear only once.
This dress is cute on its own and is perfectly fine to wear for a New Year’s Party. The color is appropriate, the style is super adorable and it’s easy to dress it up or down. I like to be fancy for the holidays, so I wore my fabulous, blanket inspired soft coat as my outerwear. It may be hard to believe, but it’s actually very warm and I feel like a bear wearing it. I’m telling you guys, this is probably one of my favorite items this winter so if you want to feel cozy and still look like a boss, get it 🙂 Overall, I love the color scheme of this outfit and it’s one of my favorite looks thus far.
The last pic above is also another option of how to dress this for everyday wear. I normally don’t do this but I think it’s a great idea by wearing another top over the dress as it now turns into a skirt. I think the color pops so it’s okay to put a plain black top over it. It’s very causal, but I also think it’s stylish.
Since I love metallic dresses so much, I also listed 5 wishlist items from Shein that I absolutely also would consider for New Year’s Eve. The five dresses are all different styles and colors and I think they would look great on everyone! (Disable adblock to view the items below*)
Let me know if you normally wear dresses as skirts or what you plan on wearing for New Year’s Eve.

The coat is extremely cozy! It feels like a blanket 🙂
I’m the sorry sap who has to work NYE, but normally I’m in my cutest dress celebrating with friends! I wore this beautiful gold dress last year and I’m itching to pull it out for a quick NYE post! Love these options and hope you had a great holiday season!

Amazing! I’m sure a lot of people will also be wearing metallic gold 🙂
Great dress. I love how you wore the sweater over it. My favourite way to wear my metallic skirt is with a casual top or sweater. It gives it such an effortless look.

I totally agree. For those who want a more conservative look, a top over the dress is the best way to go!
I’d actually love to rock some metallics, but for me that would probably be in form of shoes or pants, maybe add a cap to that. That bear like coat is WAY cozy looking and I could seriously live in it all winter long, haha.
You look adorable and I’m sure you’ll ROCK NYE! 🙂

Thank you Francesca!
This metallic dress is the perfect glam dress to wear for NYE! I always love dressing anything glam or sparkly to ring in the new year.

I totally agree. Glitter, sparkles and sequins are perfect for NYE!
This is such a great and classic look for NYE! Metallics are perfect for NYE! If I actually go out for NYE ( haha last year I was in bed right after midnight ) I think I’ll go with metallic too but may be pants instead hehe 😉
Bisous, Josie

Thank you Bernice! It’s nothing too fancy, but definitely does make a great NYE outfit.
Shein has always had the cutest, most affordable items for any occasion. I love that metallic dress!

I always find great deals on Shein!
I definitely associate gold with NYE, and this gold dress is so much fun. I love how you accessorized with that furry coat! Totally glam! I looked through your top picks from SheIn, and I would definitely wear the glittery silver lace-up bodycon! I love knowing that I have a piece I can continue to wear throughout the year, instead of spending money on an item for just one occasion. This was a great post!

I am the same way Stephanie! I love finding specific pieces for the holidays, but I also like to make sure that I can wear it again. I knew that I could wear a top over this metallic dress and tone it down a bit so it was a great item for both NYE and to keep in my closet.
Absolutely love the dress love!! I also live in NYC and omg how are you only wearing a dress in this weather. You look great!
With love,

Thank you so much! I definitely try to explore different styles and pieces.
Oh you are definitely not the only one girl. I love rock some metallic during holidays especially for NYE. I absolutely love this look. And how lucky are you to spend NYE in big New York City?
Happy 2017 my dear friend. I cherish the friendship we have and here is to another great year for us.
xo,
Jo
I’m from NYC so I always spend New Years here. Sometimes it can get a bit overwhelming since there are so many tourists during this time, but I do understand why they would come to the big city. I am also very appreciate of our friendship as you are one of the kindest bloggers I’ve met through Instagram!
Love the metallic in the holidays. Absolutely love this dress in you babe
