You have a silk evening gown in your lingerie closet? With a couple of accessories, you can transform it into cocktail attire.

A waist-cinching belt — preferably in a metallic shade for NYE — gives the frock immediate shape. 

You can slip into an elegant pair of house slippers, and then add sparkle by adding oversize chandelier earrings.

Dab your signature scent on your “pulse points”  — namely, the inner wrists, the base of the throat, behind ear lobes, in the cleavage, behind knees, and the inner elbows — and you’ll smell amazing all night long.
