Hi, friends! I hope you enjoyed your Christmas holiday this past weekend! It goes by so fast, doesn’t it?
With the new year upon us, this week I’ll be sharing two different looks for New Years Eve inspiration. Today’s look focuses on feeling festive in a more casual setting with a jewel embellished sweater, while the next look is all about sparkle and glam with a sequin skirt out on the town.
If you know me well, you know I’m very much a homebody, preferring to spend the night cozied up on the couch than out and about in public. So most of my NYE celebrations have actually been more on the low-key side, spent at home or at a friend’s house. But having casual New Years Eve plans doesn’t mean I won’t be dressing up a bit and ringing in the new year with lots of sparkle and glam.
For more casual NYE settings, I focus on finding one statement piece that I can pair with the comfortable, classic pieces I already own.
This year I’m loving sweaters with a unique touch–whether its a ladder sleeve cutout, an off-the-shoulder fit, an oversized fluted sleeve, or an embellished shoulder detail–I’m finding that these statement sweaters are the perfect pieces for a festive evening spent in a more casual setting.
For accessorizing a casual NYE look, it’s all about balance. Glitzy sweater, comfy jeans. Studded clutch, simple black kitten heels.
A lower-heeled pump is a great option when you want to feel dressy while still having comfortable feet! These cute classic flats are another great option too, that still feel dressed up and fun. But I’m also crushing hard on these edgy pumps as well.
This is my first time trying out the cold shoulder trend and I have to say I’m a fan! It makes your sweater feel just a little more flirty and sexy. And the slightly puffy sleeves of this sweater give it an almost regal feeling. I love it!
…and the jeweled detail is just…yeah, it’s ah-mazing.
I also wore this sweater to a family Christmas party last week and got so many compliments! It’s a piece that can be worn for several different occasions, so you won’t feel bad about buying an expensive sequin piece that can only be worn once a year. This sweater is multi-use for any festive occasion you’ve got!
All black details with pops of sparkle for a low key evening with friends. Who else is ready for the clock to strike midnight?!
What about you? Are you spending a casual evening in or going out on NYE?
