what to wear for new year's eve

That odd week between Christmas and New Years.
People are still on vacation. 
Coming down from a shopping high. Or at least I am.
Planning on what to do for New Years Eve.
For me, I think the build up is always bigger than the actual night. I always have grandiose ideas of fabulous parties, sipping champagne and confetti falling from the ceiling at midnight.
Where in actuality...it's my bubba and I on the couch trying to stay awake to watch the ball drop.

This year might be different since I have a strong will to stay off the couch. So of course you need clothing options.
If I were go on a date night with the bubs or have a casual night at a friend's house. I would choose an option like this. 
Loving gold jewelry I would play up my outfit with a set of bangles. With some plaid pants, I would pair it with a whimsical top. Keeping with the casual look, of course I would wear some flats.

Now if we were headed to a fancy NYE party, of course I would have to bring out the sparkle. If you do a lot of sequins...wear minimal jewelry! I love the cap sleeves of this dress. Paired with black opaque tights and booties that have gold details, brings the outfit together. I would then wear my hair halfway up and put a black bow in my hair. 

Finally, I am not totally ruling out pajamas on NYE. But only if I am going to a pajama party! I love wearing little "pajama suits" as I like to call them. 
But a comfy fitted tee and sweats will also work!

Hope you all have a great New Years Eve, see you in 2013!

  1. We're definitely the same person when it comes to NYE! I always picture in my mind some Kardashian-esque party with glitter everywhere, fabulous people, and endless champagne when it really never happens! But, if I did have the chance to attend a Kardashian-esque party, I would totally go for that gold dress. SO AMAZING! I mean, I always have felt like the long-lost Kardashian sister ;)

  2. I'm glad I wasn't the only one to want to wear PJs for NYE. This year I'm keeping it low key with a movie marathon and pizza. Happy New Year!

  3. After seeing a million episodes of HIMYM where Lily had super cute matching pjs I decided I wanted some. And now I'm up to three pair. They're a little expensive for just sleeping in, lol. My faves are the pink/purple leopard print ones I just got from Target. Ooh, I'm also loving that sequin dress!

  4. Totally agree that the whole build up to NYE is better than the actual celebration. This year I turned over a new leaf - no expectations and hopefully it will turn out even better normal :) And of course, sequins makes any night better, so that's essential. Time to go shopping!
