New Year’s Eve is all about dressing up in a way that represents you. Whether you are the stay at home type to cuddle on the couch or the party girl that dresses to the 9, a beanie can be added either way…
This Mink Pink dress is layered with a Sam Edelman front tailed, winter creme jacket, which both items can be found at VC Boutique (304-522-2204). Front tailed means longer lapels in the front and a more cropped back. Adding the jacket with the dress creates more of an interest than the dress does alone. Don’t be mistaken though, this dress is a beautiful design, but for those who don’t like to wear very fitted items a jacket is a wonderful addition to tone it down.
Going for a more unconventional look can be striking- and with the longer jacket that hits almost to the same length of the dress is very different. However, it wouldn’t work if the jacket wasn’t cropped in the back, then none of the dress material would show, which would = awkward. Then, after throwing in the gray slouchy beanie, a hipster chic look at its best has been created for NYE!
The black pumps are INC and the black clutch is from Cache. However, a pair of booties, shooties or pointed toe pumps would work great with this outfit. This look is out of the ordinary, but it works. I encourage people to try different things, pairing items together that you normally wouldn’t think of doing.
In the fashion world we are seeing more and more of this every season. Style has become an ‘anything goes’ as long as you know how to make it flow and look good. This happens from pulling the right colors out of your main item and building your look with layers and accessories.
I hope everyone has a fun filled weekend of shopping with their gift cards! And good luck on finding your NYE outfit! Remember to always think outside of the box 🙂
Until next time.
Always be kind,
Erica
