New Year's Eve has long been associated with glitz and glamour. Cocktail dresses are accompanied by cocktails served well past the start of the new year and we all dance until the heels come off. But somewhere into the night we realize our legs are freezing and that fourth round of appetizers is starting to show under the sequins. Don't get me wrong, I'm the first person to rally the troops and protest for a semi-formal dress code at any party. After all what's a party without some glitter? But when alls said and done, I can't lie, I long for the comfort of jeans and a t-shirt. So this year I decided I could have glamour and comfort and I'm going to show you how.
COAT - ZARA
TOP - TOPSHOP
JEANS - URBAN OUTFITTERS
HEELS - MICHAEL KORS
EYESHADOW - HUDA BEAUTY - MAUVE OBSESSIONS
LIPLINER - RIMMEL - RAVISH
This look is literally a 'jeans and a t-shirt' classic, with a little bit of sparkle. My sequined top, from Topshop, is actually a Christmas gift from my sister and was the perfect statement piece I was looking for. The entire top is covered in sequins but is cut like a regular Hanes t-shirt. It is a bit large on my small frame but the slouchy look adds to the comfy vibe and allows complete movement so I can dance the night away. I have to be honest though, the sequins totally cut right through the fabric and irritate my skin... so just be careful. A pair of high-wasited mom jeans is the obvious choice here, so I wore my trusty pair from Urban Outfitters. Minimal distressing keeps things classy and allows you to get away with jeans at a cocktail party. Now I know, you're all wondering why bother wearing heels if the goal is comfort?! Well, I'm only 5'2'' so my heels are my best friends and it's definitely a sacrifice I'm willing to make! But if height isn't at the top of your list, ditch the heels for some cute loafers or booties. To finish off the look I threw on my trusty faux fur coat from Zara that really does keep out the cold and gives you an air of sophistication. I jazzed things up with a bold red eye look, which is literally a red eyeshadow from Huda Beauty's Mauve Obsessions palette, blended out all over my lid and under the lower lash line. The intense shadow makes brown eyes pop and will fool anyone into thinking you spent forever on your makeup!
Before I end this post I just want to thank you all for your love and support and wish you the best year yet! May your 2018 be filled with happiness and prosperity ♡
