Move over, Christmas plaid! It’s sequins’ time to shine!! Today is my last day at home with my family and I’ll be honest: New Year’s Eve feels like days away to me. The days between Christmas and New Year’s are always a complete blur of leftovers, cookies and wrapping paper to me. If it wasn’t for my planner, phone and, for good measure, Google telling me 2014 is history tomorrow, I wouldn’t believe it.
I’m still finalizing my New Year’s Eve outfit (bad blogger) but I have a pretty solid idea of the look I’m going for. Last summer, in one of my Goodwill deep dives, I discovered a sequin pencil skirt from The Limited for less than $10. CHA-CHING. Since then, my sequin sartorial gem has stayed in the closet just waiting for December 31st to roll around.
Guys have it so easy when it comes to dressing up. Put on a suit or a tux and they look like a million bucks. There isn’t a single guy who doesn’t look instantly dapper the moment they put on a penguin suit. The idea of a tux got me to thinking about creating my own version of the tuxedo look for New Year’s Eve. The lady tux, if you will.
You’ll just have to check out my Instagram for the full New Year’s Eve look because I have an awesome post scheduled for tomorrow that I can’t bear to postpone. Hopefully, I’ll have time to update this post with my lady tuxedo outfit for the big night!!
In the mean time, in case you’re like me and sometimes procrastinate special occasion looks, I compiled a “mix + match” if you will of spectacularly sequined + sparkly pieces to pull together a New Year’s Eve outfit in no time at all. Pick a top, select a bottom, throw on an accessory or two and you are all set to ring in 2015 in style!
