The New Years Outfit You'll Wear All Year!

There are several instances where I have expressed my frustration with buying a clothing or accessory item for only one occasion. I have no problem with spending a chunk of change on something if I will wear it over and over, but refuse to spend even a small amount on something I will never wear again. This style of shopping is only inconvenient a few times of year: New Year's Eve, a random wedding, or rare special event that requires a very specific outfit.

As New Year's Eve is around the corner my thoughts have drifted to the ultimate question "What am I going to wear?". A mental review of my closet was fruitless and uninspiring. So I turned to some Ebates stores with pre-holiday sales to help me find a practical and affordable solution. I checked out Bloomingdale's, who is having a huge pre-holiday sale (through December 24th) where select items are marked 20-40% off. I knew I would find something here at a good deal that isn't a one-time wear purchase.

Although sequins seem very specific and holiday-esque I think something like this Sequin Drape Front Blazer (30% off and now just $138.60 with 5.0% Cash Back) can be worn for a special occasion all year. Being a jean and t-shirts girl, this Sequin Blazer is the perfect sparkly and festive addition to my laid-back style. I'll wear this over a little black dress for New Year's Eve and with black boots, jeans and a tee for dinner or date night. Plus, it's classic enough that it won't go out of style and can be my go-to when I want to add a little oomph to all the boring basics in my closet.

Find a ton of New Year's Eve party frocks, accessories and more on sale (and with cash back) at Bloomingdale's!
