New Year’s Eve Dresses in Red for Under $100!

Girls. Come on, how about let’s make a resolution BEFORE New Year’s Day. Let’s make the resolution to look awe-inspiring in a saucy shade of red as we bravely meet the year 2010. You know exactly the kind of red I am talking about. This is the hue that the bad girls in the Film Noir flicks left discreetly on linen napkins or lightly-drained wine glasses. The kind of red that lingers on the air long after it leaves a room. It is the shade that says, “SHE was here, and she was simply unforgettable”.

I have scoured the web to find my pick of stunning gowns and coy cocktail dresses, and with sweat on my brow, I present to you my top picks. And though you will look unforgettable in any one of these dresses, and possibly inspire a whole new genre of love-songs in the process, you won’t have to stress out this season’s Prada wallet. And this is a good thing– our wallet is simply our best ‘inanimate’ friend, and we wouldn’t ever want to stress her out!!

Ladies, don’t welcome 2010 whilst being a withering wall-flower. Tell this new year you are going to meet it with firm resolve, a stiff upper-lip (also wearing a dangerous burgundy), and the best fashion-sense you can buy.

This year, I’ll ring in the New Year wearing unapologetic red, and I will resolve to make no New Year’s resolutions at all.
