Pull Together a Last-Minute NYE Outfit

What to Buy, Where to Get It

Dropped the ball on securing a head-turning getup for New Year’s Eve? Visit five fail-safe boutiques to outfit whatever role you’ll be playing as you ring in a new 365.

Party Hopper
Stand out in the crowd (and show a little leg) with the Starburst sequined bib sweater dress ($189) from The Rabbit Hole. Vintage bags and shoes ($30-$50) solidify one-of-a-kind style.

Hostess with the Mostest
Splurge on something you’ll wear again (technically, your look isn’t leaving the house). Simply add jeans to the Young by Yo Yo Yeung sequined jacket ($418) or Gold Hawk beaded tunic ($289) at Rebel Miami for future evenings out. Holiday bonus: DailyCandy readers get 20 percent off their NYE purchases.

Night Owl
For an out-all-night fete, peruse the new Betsy Moss dresses ($219) at Isa Boutique. Opt for the Eva in gold or black, or the gold sequin mini with mesh bottom. Accessorize with the Daniela Millan gold-tone serpent ring ($35) or bundled rings ($75 each).

The Sophisticate
Headed to a swanky South Beach hotel? Swing by Jessie for gems like Basix beaded shorts with scalloped edging in navy ($319). Or ruffle feathers with Blaque Label’s ostrich feather dress ($231).

Happening Homebody
Raise the roof at your sister’s boyfriend’s neighbor’s pad with Lorie Lester’s open-back, leopard-print dress ($205) or one-shoulder mini ($120). The designer even offers free alterations on any dress you purchase at her boutique.

Let the countdown begin.
