That Countdown

TWO DAYS TILL NEW YEAR'S EVE. Two days until I finish my week-long course of antibiotics. Two days to do a list of resolutions, to wait until my next paycheck -woohoo!- and to figure out how I'm spending the start of 2011.

Two days and I can drink again! Finally!

While Christmas is for warm, heartfelt gatherings with those who are dear, I've always associated New Year's Eve with excess, rowdiness and vice. And as I have yet to attend a long-gown countdown, NYE shall remain a night for the minidress.

Above, two in black, two asymmetric and two sparkly. Each festive, each sinful and each for starting the new year with a bang.
