    31 Things From Target That Won't Make You Splurge To Be Trendy This New Year's Eve

    With finds like these, it's a happy new year already.

    1. A shimmery spaghetti strap mini dress that you can't not have a good time in. The scoop neckline, thin straps and mini length make it a great party dress and the best first lewk of 2022.

    2. A pair of gold-tone celestial drop earrings from Target's BaubleBar collection, for the ultimate sparkly finishing touch for your outfit. Put these on and you're NYE-ready.

    3. A sparkly flared Lurex mini dress so you can start 2022 in style. It's soft, stretchy and shiny, and would look great paired with cute boots and a fun headband. Or heels and a bow in your hair. Or with a statement belt, layered under a cropped leather jacket. Basically, it'll look great with literally anything.

    4. A chic envelope clutch with a gold chain link strap that will fit all your essentials and look like it cost *way* more than $20. It comes in four colors (including a cool snake print) and you may want to get all of them, since it'll definitely be your new go-to going out bag.

    5. A pair of velvet knotted slippers in case you're planning on ringing in the new year from the comfort of your couch. There's nothing wrong with that plan, and there's no reason you shouldn't feel festive in your sweats and fancy new velvet slippers!

    6. A bodycon ruched mesh mini dress with a celestial pattern that will make you feel like a star. Plus, it's made from a soft and stretchy fabric so it's actually super comfortable.

    7. A bedazzled velvet headband for some major Blair Waldorf throwback vibes. Not in the mood to style your hair? Throw this beautiful band on and you'll be getting compliments all night.

    8. A festive pair of mid-rise wide leg velvet pants that will let everyone know you're ready to party. They're bold, they're velvet, they have a stretchy waistband. *Adding to cart now*.

    9. A pair of Spanx faux leather leggings if you're not in the mood for a dress, but still want to dress up. They're stretchy, have the Spanx signature waistband and are incredibly comfortable, so you don't have to worry about pulling a Ross Geller in them. Pair them with killer heels and a bold sequined top for an un-faux-gettable NYE look.

    10. A V-neck ruffle sweater for folks who don't want to risk frostbite in a little party dress, but still want to make an effort. It's everything you want in a sweater — as one reviewer said, it's "comfy, cute and festive." Done.

    11. A gold-tone charm cluster pendant necklace to add some bling to your outfit. The paperclip chain and charm cluster look way more high-end than than the necklace's under-$20 price tag would suggest; it's the perfect way to accessorize an otherwise plain top or dress.

    12. A flirty bodycon long-sleeve cutout dress that will make you feel oh-so-glamorous. Add a glass of bubbly and you're ready for the countdown.

    13. A pair of glitzy ankle strap sandals with a block heel, because when's a better time to wear a statement shoe than NYE?! If your outfit is missing a little something extra, these are *it*.

    14. A midi slip dress perfect for anyone spending their NYE somewhere warm and tropical. It has an effortless, beachy vibe that will make you feel relaxed and party-ready the second you slip it on.

    15. A pair of mix net floral tights that will totally take your party look to the next level. If you decided to go out last minute and want to wear last year's dress without rehashing last year's look, put these on and they'll instantly transform that old dress into something new!

    17. A pair of rhinestone hoop earrings so you can shine bright like a diamond when the clock strikes midnight. They come in four striking color combinations and look like an expensive holiday gift you received this year. Tar-jey for the win yet again!

    18. A stylish long-sleeve ruffle collar blouse that will work perfectly if you're going to a formal cocktail party with fancy canapés and hors d'oeuvres whose names you definitely can't pronounce. Wear this chic top with a pair of high-waisted pants and you'll fit right in.

    19. A sleeveless mock turtleneck fit and flare dress for one more sparkly look this year. NYE means glitter, and this dress delivers. It's understated but still has plenty of shine and sparkle from the Lurex fabric that gives it a shimmery, metallic look.

    20. A pair of open-toe ankle strap heels that were made for dancing the last night of 2021 away — because, yes, they're that comfortable. One happy customer said, "I danced all night in these. They are the most comfortable heels I own!"

    21. An elegant one-shoulder puff-sleeve dress if you want to skip the traditional LBD this year. Wow everyone with this stunning little number that features a flirty one-bare-shoulder-neckline and a comfortable cut that won't make you hold your breath all night.

    23. A cinched front velvet tank top that screams "party!" The luxurious material, rich ruching and delicate straps make it look like you just spent half of your paycheck on it (no one has to know that really, it's a super affordable Target find).

    24. A pair of embellished pointed toe mules, if you can't bear the thought of spending all night in heels. These mules are super comfy and add just the right amount of sparkle to complement your look.

    26. A bodycon mini pencil skirt that you can dress up for a spontaneous NYE party, and then dress down with a cute tee and a denim jacket for any other day of the year. Everyone needs a versatile piece like this that saves the day every time you need to dress up on short notice.

    28. A shiny braided satin headband that will make you feel like a queen. The braided texture and silky smooth satin give band a luxe feel. It's an accessory you'll reach for all year, because it doesn't need to be New Year's Eve for you to want to feel like a queen.

    29. A sophisticated oversized notched lapel coat, because it is still December and you don't want to freeze in your cute little outfit. Keep it cozy and chic with this stunning yet surprisingly affordable coat.

    30. A pair of sueded over-the-knee boots made with memory foam that will help you look cute, be comfortable and not freeze all night. As one reviewer said, they are "not only cuuuute but also super comfortable." Win-win.

    31. A ruched mini skirt that looks like "Happy New Year!" in clothing form. It's so cute, you'll want to wear it this New Year's Eve, and then on repeat for every other party you ever go to in 2022. And if you're into the matchy-matchy vibe, get the top that goes with it!
