If you plan on attending a New Years Eve Dance Washington DC, it is very important that you dress the part. The dress you wear and the shoes you wear will make a big impact on the way people approach you. If you are poorly dressed, not many people will notice you, and those who do probably will not pay you much attention. An even worse fashion faux pas would be wearing the same dress or shoes as someone else at the party-- you do not want to look unoriginal!

When shopping for a dress, there are a few things to keep in mind. First of all, do not let price be a factor in deciding which dress to buy. Also, do not shop at well-known brand name stores & shops; those will be everyone else's first choices therefore you want to go somewhere different. Check out style and fashion magazines for tips on what kind of dress is "in", the right dress type for your body, and to see what all of the celebrities will be wearing to the red carpet New Year Eve dinner dance. If you search hard enough, you can find designer dresses for great prices online.

The same general dress-shopping rules apply to shoe-shopping. Another very important thing to consider about shoes is comfort factor. You do not want to spend five hundred bucks on a sexy pair of stilettos that you will just want to take off halfway through the night. Remember, it is a New Years Eve Dance Washington DC-- you will be dancing in those shoes!

Of course, you want to make sure that your dress and shoes coordinate. No one should wear a pink and black dress with purple shoes. As long as you know the basic rules of fashion, you will be alright. If not, you should pick up a Professionals in the City magazine for a few tips.

Also, keep in mind that many celebrities auction off their clothes online to benefit charities. How cool would it be to score a pair of Kim Kardashian's shoes or one of Paris Hilton's dresses to wear to the New Years Eve Dance Washington DC? And it would benefit a good cause!
