Friday's Fancies

I've missed quite a few Friday's Fancies here lately, and I must say I've really missed it.. which is why today I'm featuring not one but TWO looks! Today's theme over at {long distance loving} is New Year's Finest, of course. I've admitted to my love of sparkle {here} before, so of course I'm envisioning lots of sparkle for the big night. I fell head over heels in love with the Matthew Williamson dress on the left, but because it's slightly out of my price range {we're talking a couple thousand here} I decided to do two looks--the one on the right being much more affordable and accessible, and the one on the left.. well, what's wrong with a little fantasizing? Of course, both include sequins and minimal jewelry, letting the dresses get the attention they deserve. I also love the idea of adding black tights to a party dress, something about the look is so chic.
Dress: Matthew Williamson; Heels: Giuseppe Zanotti; Gold Earrings: American Apparel; Ring: Roberto Coin
Dress: Dorothy Perkins; Tights: Wolford; Wedges: Jane Norman; Clutch: Asos; Black Earrings: Kate Spade New York

What do you think? Which of the two looks would YOU go for, if money was not an object?
