If I had a nickel every time I said the infamous words 'I have nothing to wear', staring in a closet over filled with clothes, I would be able to buy those Manolo Blahnik super-sexy sandals right now!

With New Year around the corner I just know thousands of us girls are going to be late for that great party just because we're going to spend hours strolling between our closets and the mirror. Should it be that way? Certainly not!

Plan ahead. Give yourself time and picture just the perfect outfit, if you're out of ideas, check out Cosmo suggestions. Hit the shops focused, get everything you need and don't forget the Lipstick to match.

If you're on a tight budget, pick just one thing to buy (like a glittery top) or freshen up your favorite dress with a pair of really great high heeled shoes or accessories like big earrings and a standout necklace.

If everything else fails, or you read this article too late, just put on your little black dress and you're ready to go.
