New year, same story—every New Year's Eve, it's all about the sparkly mini dresses. Sequins here, glitter there, and before you know it every gal at your NYE party is sporting a different version of the same shiny dress. And while there's nothing wrong with ringing in 2015 with a sparkling design, we've got a few matte (even metallic) alternatives for those who'd rather leave the sparkling to the fireworks.
