(In the upper-left corner is another shot from my ice-skating semi-glory days - my mom made my costumes, and the black-and-white one you see there was my all-time favorite.

For your New Year's celebration consideration, some easy ways to add a little sparkle to your look. Pick just one or two pieces for a hint of glitter...or do what I'd probably do were I going out (I'm not), and pile 'em all on at the same time.
