By tomorrow night the packages will be unwrapped, the stockings will be empty and my swearing off of all sugar will have begun. It’s time to start thinking ahead to the next gala and preparing to ring in 2011. First step in this process is nailing the perfect New Year’s Eve outfit. I believe how good I look at midnight sets my fashion tone for the year, so choose your ensemble carefully.

Obviously I’m not the only one who feels this way. The ladies behind Palace boutique and YO Vintage have teamed up to give us Frock Off, a NYE shopping fest. Taking place the 29th at Salon 220 you can slip on vintage outfits, while sipping champagne and getting your hair done with gal pals. Hello 80’s movie montage! Discounts galore are promised as well as a happening after-party at Valentine’s bar. You can pre-practice your champagne toasts and get proper feedback on any potential outfits. Just hold off on the Auld Lang Syne.
