Earlier today I met up with a dear gal pal at the park and I asked her what her NYE plans were ... as soon as it came out of my mouth we both laughed and looked over at our kiddos playing. Yeah, the days of going out on the town are far and few between and replaced with early bedtimes b/c #momlife.
However I do still crave getting dressed up and cheering at least until 10. There's a lots of sequins and sparkle pieces out to ring in the new year but honestly buying those are not the best of investments. They tend to be a one time wear.
I believe that you can put together an outfit worth celebrating in right from your own closet.
Here are some key elements to creating a fabulous NYE or any special occasion look:
1. Heels - they automatically make you feel sassier and elevate whatever you're wearing. Even jeans.
2. Dressy Fabric - lace, organza, or satin are not your daily fabrics. These fabrics have texture, shine and detail that give a fancy look.
3. Jewelry - really shines up an outfit. Go big and consider an entire stack of brackets or several layers of necklaces for a big statement. Now, you can't do both. Pick one category and go all out.
4. Makeup - create a smoky eye OR red lip for an evening bold look.
5. Small Handbag - a clutch or small top handle bag can hold just the necessities and is more ladylike than a crossbody or tote that you carry around day to day.
