Clutch Look: Daring & Dramatic For NYE
Thanks so much to those who weighed in on my New Year’s Eve outfit selection. I ended up going with look number three per your comments, but wearing leggings as pants definitely took some courage on my part. Also, since just about anything goes when it comes to NYE party looks, dramatic accessorizing was a must!
Along with smoky eyes and messy curls, I wore multiple necklaces, bracelets and rings. With the open back and higher rise leggings, I was worried about my butt looking too big. To counter this, I added two belts underneath the top, which were only visible from the back.
Here’s how it turned out:

Wearing:
- Top: Bailey44 (first time worn, bought it two years ago)
- Pants/leggings: Sass & Bide Black Rats
- Pumps: Steven
- Necklaces and rings: Forever 21
- Bracelets: H&M
- Studded belt: Hot Topic
- White belt: Martin & Osa
Feel free to comment about your outfits and evenings – I’d love to hear about them! By the way, what are your New Year’s resolutions? I’m not sure on mine yet…maybe I should sit down and prioritize my never ending to-do list…or clone myself so I can actually have time for some of it.
Happy New Year!










Such a fun look! My resolution is to (finally) learn Italian.
SERIOUSLY hot.
You look gorgeous x
Super cute! I love the open back and the flashy necklace. I wore an H&M LBD, givenchy crystal necklace and rhinestone Martinez Valero pumps. Not sure about my resolution yet either…
wow that outfit is so lovley! the two belts is a nice quirky twist as well. This is so nice i may have to try it myself
for my outfit i wore on NYE was a rare dark grey knit with folled sleeves and neck with skinny jeans and ace pumps, accssories were some nice black long earrings and matching necklace which my boyfrind’s family bought me for christmas, i did want to wear the locket my boyfriend bought me but i didn’t want to loose it!
