And of course, it's the best party night of the year. For us college students, that means partying it up in our hometowns, popping bottles of champagne, hitting up clubs/house parties, and hooking up with that cute guy from high school that you've always had a crush on but never had the nerves to admit it. After all, what happens in 2010 stays in 2010.
Below are some super stylish and affordable outfits for your big night out. Best of all, all of them are under $100! After dropping big bucks on Christmas presents, a pricetag like that is something every college girl can celebrate.
Sequin Front Shoulder Dress, $23 Doe Deere Heel, $40 Forever21.com - Accessories - Jewelry - Rings & Pins, $6.80 Rectangle Fringe Earrings, $6.80
This outfit is a total attention-getter, so it's not for the faint of heart. Sequins are super hot this season and this sequin one-shoulder dress is sexy yet not trashy. Pair it with some funky pumps to look extra dazzling. There's already a lot going on in the dress, so you don't want to over-accessorize. I don't like the cluster of bracelets that the model is wearing: it detracts the focal point away from the dress and visually shortens her arms. Instead, I would accessorize with a fabulous cocktail ring and silver chandelier earrings. It's as simple as that. Now all you need is to strut with confidence and you'll be a total head-turner.
Taffeta Sweetheart Dress, $23 Satin Bow Peeptoe Heels, $30 Forever21.com - New Arrivals - Accessories, $3.80 Chain Wrapped Cuff, $35
This classic cocktail dress makes this outfit exude with elegance and sophistication, but the funky accessories add some freshness to the whole ensemble. The satin pumps are very elegant yet the bow in the back keeps it youthful. Plus, you can't go wrong with some eclectic accessories like the peacock feather earrings and rockstar cuffs shown above.
Plus, this outfit is very versatile, appropriate for everything from family gatherings to hitting up some fancy clubs.
Zippered Lace Dress, $28 Put On a Bow Tights, $14 Stella Stretch Bracelet Set, $6.80 Lily-putian Earrings, $12 Forever21.com - Shoes - 2083205655, $33
This outfit is perfect for the girly-girl or if you are spending New Year's Eve with family. Lace is super trendy this year and this lacey dress is sexy without revealing too much skin. Play on the lace by adding some patterned tights in black (colored tights would overwhelm the whole ensemble) and some over-the-knee flat boots (heeled ones may be too trashy for this look). Finally, accessorize with some cute accessories - think pastels or florals - for cute, girl-next-door vibe.
