Holiday parties, especially New Year's parties, bring out my daring side when it comes to clothes. By the time New Year's comes around, I'm so sick of being bundled up in layers and sweaters that I'll take any excuse to wear a skimpy, glittery dress and run with it.

But, I also want to have fun at these parties and not be stiffly standing by the wall just hoping my deep v-neck or strapless top behaves itself. So, I do what the celebrities do when they're wearing something like JLo's infamous green pseudo-dress. I tape everything where I want it.

Fashion tape is also great for things like fixing gaps between buttons in blouses, making bra straps stay hidden under tank top straps, and even quickly hemming pants or skirts. Plus it's cheap enough that it makes sense to have a box on hand just in case. Hollywood Fashion Tape is $6.95 for a box of 35 pre-cut strips.

We've got more fashionable fake-outs like breast petals and girdles.
