I will be singing on stage (back-up vocals & one lead) in this outfit tonight for New Year's Eve with my husband's band, Big Deep. I thought I'd throw a blazer over the dress & wear booties instead of pumps to make it a little less Real Housewives & more Rock-N-Roll. Hope everyone has a safe & happy New Year!
