Dressing up for New Year’s Eve when it is not actually New Year’s Eve has it’s downfalls. Cat calls, stares, and even a very concerned “are you alright!?” I typically take my photos before work with Lydia, as it is easiest + the best way to capture what I actually wore that day. I had the genius (not really) idea to get up even earlier to take these photos before the real outfit and completely looked like I was doing the walk of shame. Alas, it made for a pretty good story. Anyway, this is what I’m planning to wear for NYE. The dress is my favorite, like ever.
I’m excited to be able to give one lucky reader this beautiful Oia Jules Clutch. To enter, just like Stripes & Sequins + Oia Jules on Facebook, then leave a comment below teling me what you plan to wear on NYE!

Great story! And, like both of you… plan to wear jeans and sequins for a casual night at home with a few friends.
Oh my! Haha that definitely made me laugh. Lovin’ the dress & all the sequins make me smile 🙂
I will be wearing a sparkly studded peach top and my best jeans.
that dress is the absolute most fabulous and festive thing i’ve seen in a long time!!!
that dress is the most festive and fabulous frock i’ve seen in a long time!! you’re sure to have a ball NYE dressed in something like that!
Love that clutch! I plan on wearing a red dress with multi strand pearl necklace and black patent wedges and black sheer tights!!
Thanks for the great giveaway opportunity!
Thats too funny! Ill be going to a house party so leggings and a sweater dress will do!
I absolutely love your dress!
I would like both pages on facebook if I had one. Hopefully I’ll get to Express for this sequin mini I have had my eye on but if not I’ll probably wear my black wool skirt from J Crew and a sparkly top for a nice dinner with my family.
I hope you have an amazing New Years Eve!
I plan on wearing a leopard H&M dress for NYE! Liked both on FB 🙂
You look great, G… a little cold, but terrific, nonetheless!
I’m wearing a black dress that has lilac “dots/spots/splotches” on the top half of the dress. It is sophisticated yet fun. With black tights and knee high boots, unless I find sparkly flats to match! Silver purses would make this perfect!
I love your dress! I’m planning to wear a nude+gold bandage skirt with an orange peplum top for my first NYE being 21!
In love with that dress! I’ll be wearing these gold glitter bow heels: http://instagram.com/p/TGyzUNOZrT/ and a black cocktail dress with a fun necklace. Happy New Year!
I’ll be wearing my Christmas PJs and a pair of these unless I get a hot date.

You look stunning and that is a gorgeous dress. Also what a nice Giveaway! That Clutch is amazing. Happy New Year!
Grace! You are killing it. I finally took the plunge and bought the shearling scarf. I adore it! That dress is phenom. I think I am wearing a bejeweled romper with tights and glitter heels… xo
Love the look Grace – that dress is amazingly gorgous {and the story is fabulous too!}

I have no idea! In a dream world wear a sequin dress and pumps but I don’t think I’m doing anything fancy enough for that!
That’s the best walk of shame I’ve ever seen! 😉 I always wonder how you guys do it – I’m always so self conscious to take pictures in public when PEOPLE could SEE ME! haha.
Have the happiest of New Year’s Eves!
Hmm haven’t decided yet- I probably something sparkly!
OMG…your dress is GORGEOUS! And I am seriously crushing on the clutch! We haven’t decided what we are doing for NYE yet but I have a new sequin mini that I have been saving for a special night out! 😉 I liked you both on FB, but I’m not sure if it is under my blog name or real name jenn r. I am entering on my iPhone while traveling! I’m not driving of course…ha ha. Thanks for the great giveaway!
xoxo, jenn

Liked both on facebook. I am hoping to wear my pjs on NYE but if I do venture out I have a couple of outfits on standby (1) black sequins dress, and pumps or (2) Leather pants and sequins blouse.
I will be wearing a long sleeved flowy mint colored dress with a thin black belt and black sparkly pumps. Thanks for the giveaway!
I liked you on FB & statred following you on IG…umm, I sound like a stalker! 😉 Loving your outfit! For NYE, I’m wearing a sequin black Karen Kane skirt, black fitted turtleneck with a gorge statement necklace from Stella & Dot….opaque black tights & jcrew suede booties. Happy New Year!!!
I am completely in love with that dress and laughed out loud at the story. The clutch is great too! My NYE outfit is going to be sparkly tights and a mint colored dress, can’t wait!
I’m wearing a feathered skirt, chambray top and a statement necklace from baublebar. Love your NYE outfit!
something bold jeweled colored and gold!!!
Your whole ensemble strikes me as very Carrie Bradshaw-like, which in my opinion, is a great thing. Try to stay warm, though!

You look stunning and that dress is gorg! Such a great story too! xo
Best, M.
A few things.
1) This dress is gorgeous
2) You have amazing morning face because I would’ve never in a million years thought that you take your outfit photos in the AM before work.
3) You know I love your YSL shoes, still on my save up for list 🙂
Hope you have a lovely NYE weekend!
Ooooh, I LOVE everything about that outfit! So fun!! (although I can see how it wouldn’t work quite so well on a random morning, haha) I’m just doing a casual get together at a friend’s house, so won’t be so dressed up – but there will definitely be some sparkliness involved.
That dress is to die for ! You look amazing !

Definately something shiny! sequins are calling my name!
Not sure what my plans are yet since I will probably be exhausted from working all day, so for the time being I plan on just wearing lounge clothes. But if I go out, I have a fun LBD to pair with some sparkly stilettos!

I am hoping to finish making some jewelry to wear tonight, from layers of chain and metallic leather!
