2020 Sequins?

 Last week I shared a more laid back Christmas/Holiday look and today I'm doing the exact opposite.

I know 2020 has been a crazy year full of staying home in lounge wear. While I love a good lounge wear set more than anything I really miss dressing up.

With the holidays upon us and NYE fast approaching, I started thinking about what I would be doing and more importantly what I would be wearing. I still don't know what we are doing, but I do know what I will be wearing. (Even if it's just downstairs to the living and dining room.)

I don't know why, but when I saw this dress I just had to have it. Something about the sleeves, the wrap front skirt, and the silver sequins just spoke to me. Add in that it was on sale for 50% off and I was sold! (Right now it's even cheaper than what I paid.) 

I kept things super classic with a red lip and my favorite nude block heels. Maybe I'll switch things up and go with a bold pink on NYE. That's still TBD.

While NYE 2020 might not look like it normally does at least I will love my outfit when we kiss this crazy year goodbye and ring in a (hopefully) new and better one! 

Dress: Anthropologie (also love this one & this one) | Shoes: Target | Lipstick: Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Beso

I can't believe it's already time for me to be sharing NYE content. What are you doing for NYE this year? Even if you plan to stay in are you going to dress up? I'm sure we are all more than ready to say goodbye to 2020 and hope that 2021 has more normalcy in store.

P.S. Excuse the fact that I have like NO eyelashes in these photos. I always shoot with sunnies and clearly if I don't I need to put on falsies and a TON of eyeshadow. lol 

New Year's Eve Ringing in 2018

Now that Christmas is officially over (did it absolutely fly by for anyone else?), its time to look forward to New Year’s Eve!

This is one of my favorite holidays because I love dressing up in sparkles, doing my hair and makeup, and celebrating the New Year. Plus I love taking time to reflect on the past year, and look forward to the new one. Today I’m sharing my picks for what to wear. This romper is probably one of my favorite NYE outfits I’ve ever worn. This outfit is from about 4 years ago, and therefore, I think it’s finally safe to repeat it and no one will notice.

Since this is super old, I’ve got you covered with a lot of current options.

The most important thing to figure out before picking your outfit is where you will be and what your plans are. It’s usually on the warmer side here in Florida for New Years Eve, so I can get away with a romper. However, if we had ended up going to Nashville like we discussed, I would need something totally different. Also if you have tickets to a party those might have a dress code, and you may want to make sure to check that out.

The one thing you can never go wrong with for NYE is sparkles. No matter how cold or casual your plans are, you can always incorporate sparkle in some way, shape, or form. (See a more casual but cold weather appropriate look here.) If sparkles aren’t your thing, I’ve also linked non-sequin options below. No matter what your plans are to ring in 2018 I hope you have the best time in the most fabulous outfit, and I will see y’all next year!

Romper: Windsor old (love this & this) | Shoes: Steve Madden | Sunnies: Nordstrom (similar here & here) | Earrings: BaubleBar last year (VERY similar here) | Lipstick: Sephora Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick in Always Red

Here are more of my picks for New Year's Eve:

Sequins: Sequin & Velvet Shift Dress, Sequin Shift Dress, Sequin Mini Dress, Long Sleeve Sequin Dress, Sequin Jumpsuit (OBSESSED with this), 

Non-Sequin: Black Lace Romper, Velvet Choker Dress, Faux Fur Jacket, Mixed Media Dress, Black Jumpsuit, Metallic Romper

Casual Sequins: Sequin Sweatshirt, Sequin Blazer, Sequin Skirt, Sequin Bomber, Sequin Top, One Shoulder Top, Leather Pants 

Casual Non-Sequin: Sweater Dress, Ruffle Sleeve Sweater, Tie Sleeve Sweater, Gray Ruffle Skirt, Blush Ruffle Skirt, 

Sequin Blazer

With Christmas less than a week away, that means NYE is less than TWO weeks away! 

Today I wanted to take a break from Christmas content, and share a fun NYE outfit. This one is a little more on the casual side, (if you can even be casual while wearing sequins), but there’s something about it I absolutely love!

I got this sequin blazer a few years ago, and I love breaking it out this time of year. I paired it with leather pants and a black tank here, as to keep things super chic for New Years! This would be perfect if you want to dress up a little, but not be over the top. If you have plans for dinner or a low-key party this would be perfect! It is also ideal if New Year’s Eve is a little on the cooler side where you live. 

Like I said my blazer is a couple years old, but I’ve linked some equally great options below! 

Blazer: Old (similar here, here, here, & here) | Pants: GB (also love these) | Tank: Nordstrom old (similar here & here love this) | Shoes: Sam Edelman old (almost identical here similar here & here) | Sunnies: Sonix | Lipstick: Sephora Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick in Always Red

Sequin Leggings

Happy Thursday lovelies!

Hopefully everyone is still relaxing and enjoying some time off from work. If not, you’re almost to the long weekend where you can relax again. 

Tuesday I showed you makeup and hair products for the big day, so today I have a full outfit post. 

I love dressing up for NYE, but today I wanted to show you a more casual outfit for the holiday, in case your plans are low key.

These sequin leggings are THE best!! I bought them back in November and knew they would be great for work in December, Christmas parties, Christmas day, and New Year’s. These pants really make a statement so, to keep this casual, I thought a black top and a black fur vest for warmth. 

Leggings*: Dillard's (My color is sold out online, but the copper is pretty close.) | Top: Forever 21 sold out (similar here) | Fur Vest: Forever 21 old (similar here*) | Shoes: Steve Madden | Lipstick: Nars in Cruella

I won’t be wearing this New Year’s Eve but it’s definitely a contender for New Year’s Day. 

What are your plans for the big night? I would love to hear them.
