New Year's Eve Outfit Idea: DVF Zarita Lace Dress + Giveaway!

I hope you are preparing for an exciting New Year's Eve!  I have a short day at the office, and then tonight am attending a wedding reception to celebrate two very good friends.  This wedding made our New Year's Eve plans an easy decision, and it will be so much fun to ring in the new year with a group of our nearest and dearest friends for such a special occasion!  Today's outfit is one that I am considering to wear to tonight's reception.  This Diane Von Furstenberg Zarita lace dress is a timeless style, and cobalt blue is one of my favorite colors, so the decision to purchase this dress was also an easy one.  For today's outfit, I paired this DVF Zarita lace dress with nude bow pumps for the illusion of longer legs.  I then added a nude bow clutch, berry lips, and simple gold jewelry for an elegant look that is perfect to wear to a wedding, cocktail event, and more.  I also have a navy fascinator on order that is supposed to deliver to my office tomorrow, so if it arrives before I leave tomorrow afternoon I may be channeling my inner Kate Middleton by swapping out the nude pieces for a navy clutch, pumps, and fascinator.  My Instagram feed will reveal the final outfit tomorrow evening!
