Charlotte Russe

The Budget Fashionista recently had an article on "How to Shine this New Year's Eve" and gave several examples of sequin-chic dresses (most under $50). Charlotte Russe offers a multi-blue hued mini dress for $34.99, which gives you plenty of money left for blingy bracelets and a cute clutch.

Forever 21

Forever 21 is a staple for celebrities and us regular people alike. They always have trendy pieces at affordable prices. The website recently added a strapless gold bubble dress that would be completely chic to bring in the New Year with. And for only $22.80, you can also buy a cover-up if you're watching the ball drop in chilly New York City!

Alloy

For a flirty, fun print that packs a seriously colorful punch, check out Alloy.com's print tank dress for $49.50. This multi-hued mini will be talked about by all the New Years Eve party-goers once you show up fashionably late, of course! If this isn't your style, Alloy.com offers two pages of party dresses, and all but a few are under $50.

Kira Plastinina

Kira Plastinina is a Russian phenomenon who has her own clothing empire and is, get this, only 15 years old! On her site there are two pages of marked down dresses, but this sexy lace trim slip dress is my top pick for your big New Years Eve night out. It is only $22, which leaves plenty of monetary leeway for accessories and footwear. Try a satin heel in purple, one of this season's most buzzed about colors!
