 Whether you're keeping it low key and staying in tonight, spending the night out on the town, or enjoying a nice dinner out, you can always class it up in style. Check out my Holiday Attire: What to Wear?! post from 12/9/2013 for some great outfits to start off the new year.
This is one of the only times of the year that you can get out there and show the world what you've got by glamming it up. If you want to start 2014 off right, go out there and get your hair or makeup done and don't worry about the cost because you deserve it. How often do you actually get to do that? And, I'm giving you permission to do so! However, if you are being money conscientious, then go out and buy yourself some fake eyelashes, add sparkle to your face, or go with the smoky eye. Do something you wouldn't do normally! If you start the year off feeling wonderful about yourself, how can it not be a great year?! Leave the worries and resolutions for tomorrow. Your resolution for tonight is to have fun with no cares and celebrate the new year!
Always remember that whatever you are doing tonight, be safe, be smart! You should always have a sober ride whether it's a legitimate designated driver (somebody not drinking), your plan is to cab it, OR some cities even offer free rides through bus or van transportation. Another option is to get a hotel room or I'm sure your host would be more than happy to have you stay over versus driving. A DWI is the last way you want to start off the new year and believe me, there will be more cops out patrolling tonight. In addition, never leave your friends behind. Take part in the buddy system. You don't want start the new year with regrets.
It's just not worth it!
So get out there and be a bold, beautiful bombshell in the New Year!
Here's to a GREAT 2014! HAPPY NEW YEAR:)
