NYE Inspired: Metallic Thread December 29, 2014
Dress: Polished Boutique
Shoes: J.Crew
Bag: Marshall’s (similar)
Necklace & Earrings: Target
Watch: Michael Kors
Today I’m collaborating with Polished Boutique, a local shop that brings you a cache of girly things! Right now Polished has some incredible options for New Years’ Eve, and I’m sharing this incredible metallic threaded dress with you today!
But let me be realistic for a second. I can promise you my NYE will be spent on my couch, in my pajamas, passed out by 9pm. I can’t hang anymore, guys. I don’t know when I became an old lady, but my couch is way more appealing than being out partying until the clock strikes midnight! I swear I’m still cool and fun! But the cool, fun girl is just buried underneath a much more tired version of myself. Who clearly needs a girls night out! Soooooo, that being said, if I WAS going out, this would be my look!
I don’t know where you are, but it’s always freezing and often snowing here on NYE! I opted to wear some black tights with this dress to keep my legs warm. Some simple, understated black pumps keep your eyes drawn to the dress. I amped up the glam with some gold and rhinestone jewelry, a metallic beaded bag, and some bright red lips to complete the look.
I hope your NYE is filled with gold, glitter, confetti, and sequins! Maybe I’ll throw some confetti on the couch I’ll be passed out on so it looks like I had a good night 😉

What a beautiful outfit! You look gorgeous! I did a fantasy holiday outfit post on my blog too. I don’t have places to go that require me to dress up. Then I also did a realistic holiday outfit post a week later. It was fun.
