The New Year's Eve countdown has begun and you still need something to wear to the party, right? I thought so. Check this out.
Here are five retro-themed party perfect outfits I put together for you with the help of my creative friends -- model, mom and associate editor for the Living Dead Lauren Jewels, PDX fashion photographer Travis Geny and the fashion fabulous folks at Macy's in downtown Portland.
All the dresses and outfits are still in stock so let's get started:
1. Blue soft and fuzzy warm sweater, A-line skater skirt belted at the waist paired with blue suede ankle boots is a modern twist on a retro party perfect 1954 White Christmas outfit worn by Mitzi Gaynor and Rosemary Clooney.

2. Baby doll mini dress in plush pink is so adorable and sexy almost cuter than the original seen in the 1956 movie starring Carroll Baker.

3. Be a bodacious Bond girl in a bold red dress like in the 1962 movie Dr. No. This knockout red knit dress with a bejeweled collar neckline and black suede high-heeled bootie shoe is a perfect party pleaser.

4. Baby you've never looked so good in a 1955 Seven Year Itch Marilyn Monroe halter dress and Betsey Johnson sparkle pink handbag.

5. Bali Ha'i to Botswana white tiger heat African safari fashion fusion picks up the pace just like the 1953 movie Mogambo starring Grace Kelly and Ava Gardner. Pair this white and black print long sleeve knit dress with turquoise accessories and you'll bring in the New Year with a bang.
