Need Your Help: What to Wear on New Year's Eve

I was really sure about what to wear on New Year's Eve... until I hung out with my friend Lindsay last night and saw all her cute attire options. (I will post about that in a bit... we had a great time playing dress up!)

So now I need your help! The party attire is "cocktail," though I'm sure attendees' outfits will run the gamut of casual to formal.

Option 1: Cream/iridescent sequined halter (bought this in the formal department of Dillards in high school and have never found a good reason or way to wear it, until now) with a black pencil skirt.

Option 2: Deep purple, velvet vintage dress (from my October visit to My Sister's Closet), accessorized with a flower brooch (from Hurs) and satin ribbon at the waist. I love the dress but feel that it would look a lot better if I had the top taken in a little to fit better. Should I save this dress until after I make alterations?

Which of the below two outfits should I don to ring in the new year? I'm perplexed! (Leave a comment, or vote in the poll to the right of this post.)

And for you Decaturites who don't yet have plans, e-mail me at lifefulfilledatl@gmail.com and I'll tell you the details of a little shin-dig we're putting together.

Wishing you all happy and safe New Year's Eves and fabulous starts to 2010,

Katy
