Can you believe Christmas is less than a week away? I am so excited yet so sad because that means December is almost over. Thankfully though I have finished my shopping & don't have to bare the craziness at the mall with all the last minute shoppers. 
Along with the last minute shoppers is a mad rush for the girls to find the perfect New Years Eve outfit.To be honest I am not a fan of NYE....like at all. I never have been. I think its overrated. Sure I've been to my fair share of NYE parties & events, but I just feel like the build up is always bigger & better than the actual day. However, I LOVE dressing up. Any time I can get all fancy makes me happy...& NYE to me is a dress up day!
This NYE the BF & I are going out to a late dinner at this fabulous modern restaurant in our town called Nicks. They have aaamazing steak so that's what my NYE will look like....& I can't wait! Are you all big NYE people or do you agree it's overrated? 
So I know the theme for NYE outfits will most likely be glitter/sparkle enthused. Which I love, but if you're broke after Christmas like most of us & you have to wear that simple black dress you have in your close,t then let me show you a little way to spruce up that simple black dress....& this is 8 day hair no washing #embracethemess





so as you can see it's a typical plain black dress. BUT I added different types of gold bracelets & a big statement ring to add some flare & color to the dress. To top it off I decided to add a headband & wear it like a flapper, because for some reason I feel like a flapper in this dress, plus the flower detail on the headband add another flare to the outfit.



So as you can see just adding some simple gold jewelry & a headband took this plain black dress & gave it some life! So don't be upset if you can't buy a new dress for NYE, just take your black dress to the next level & accessorize like crazy.......I put together a quick little collage of some statement accessories you can add to dress up your outfits. Just remember if you're going to do big earrings, don't do a big necklace. Only one piece should be a big statement & everything else should compliment the statement piece.

NYE is my favorite holiday (after my birthday - if that counts as a holiday) but I think it's because of the parties and getting dressed up! I love your outfit - gorgeous as always! You prove that you don't have to sparkle to shine!

OBSESSED. OBSESSED. OBSESSED. WITH THAT DRESS. AH i want it, so bad!

As far as my NYE plans, no idea yet actually. I probably need to figure that out.

Also, i am loving the tights. I have been thinking about getting a pair of patterned/colored tights (other than grey) for a while now, and I think you just pushed me over the edge to get some..

happy thursday!
