Six Ways to Style~ {New Year's Eve!}

My apologies for not getting this post up a bit sooner. I was working on it when the furnance went out in our house. Heat becomes the priority when it is -20 degrees outside and everything else went on hold until it was fixed!

So here we go....New Year's Eve! The time for celebrating the passing year and for looking ahead to the new year with hope and promise. Everyone likes to spend this holiday in their own special way and here at TMS we want to wish you the happiest of Happy New Years! When trying to decide what to wear to ring in a new year (2014!!) I always try and think of my more daring, bold outfits for some reason. It just seems like the perfect time to ROCK something. This is when I get a hankering for lots of bling, leather, and high heels. This is also the perfect time to experiment with a bold hue that maybe you were hesitant to wear before. We have thrown a few outfits together that use some of these and a few that offer a bit more of a casual vibe to your late night celebrating.

1. Print Possible
You can't see it well in the pic but the tank is animal print WITH sequins! Bam! The top half is pretty busy with the print, sequins, scarf and leather blazer so we have kept the bottoms simple with a dark skinny jean. However, the jeans are rocking a leather tuxedo stripe that is perfect for the holiday.

2. Sass and Sequins
This outfit is one I would wear if a group of us were going out to eat on New Year's Eve and I wanted to be cute and casual all in one fell swoop. The sequined tank adds just enough bling to look like you are celebrating something.

Tank: Old Navy

3. Radiant Red
New Years is the perfect time to rock a vibrant red. I have this wonderful, simple dress from Forever 21 that has leather accents--like the strip around the waste. On its own it can be worn as a staple piece any time of the year. However, throw on a bling-y red cardigan and it screams party time! A fun patterned tight and platform heel finish it off and let the cardigan do all the talking.

Dress: Forever 21
Cardigan: Hergerger's
Necklace: Groopdealz
Shoes: JC Penney

4. Bling Beauty
In my book you can never have too much bling. The sequined cardigan and skirt work perfectly as a go-all-out look for New Years. I could have even thrown on sequined heels too but I refrained. (It was very, very hard not to). The pink pop in the tank is the perfect color for ringing in the New Year out on the town.

Cardigan: NY&Co
Top: NY&Co
Skirt: Loft
Bracelet: Gift from sister!

5. Leather Layers
What better time to rock your faux leather leggings?! Maybe you bought them and have been scared to bust them out? This is the perfect time! I added a long tunic top in a rich green and layered the whole look with a vest. Strappy heels make the whole look feminine. 

Top: Target
Vest: Walmart
Leggings: Forever 21
Necklace: Old
Shoes: Maurices

6. Comfort Resolution
I'll be honest. I spend New Year's Eve right in my own home surrounded by most of my favorite people in the world. We play games, eat our weight in appetizers, tell stories, and laugh and laugh. When the ball drops, we gather in the living room, join the countdown and smooch at midnight. I tend to dress pretty comfy for the whole occasion with a little bling. This year I will most likely wear this exact outfit: Comfy sweater, leather leggings, loose top and gold bling in the necklace and shoes.

Blessings to you in 2014!
