The new year is right around the corner! Do you have your NYE fit picked out yet? This year I decided to go all out and load on the sequin and sparkles. I have picked out two looks which can hopefully inspire those of you who waited last minute (as I usually do with many tasks in life). Since the holiday season can bring lots of bustle in retail stores, I decided to visit a local secondhand shop. Being sustainably conscious with your holiday look is important since most outfits tend to be worn for just the night, and then never put on again. I encourage you to donate or take your clothing to a local resale shop so that special event fit can be worn once again. My go to shop for these looks are brought to you by Clothes Mentor. Clothes Mentor sells gently used name-brand and designer clothing, shoes, and accessories, but at the fraction of the cost. Most items here can be as high as 70% off retail prices! Here I was able to purchase a necklace, shoes, hot pants, and a dress which are featured below. For this first look I have a cross wrap tie back glitter tank top from Shein. This item I thrifted, and is no longer available on Shein’s website, but they can be found for resale on sites such as Poshmark. I styled the glittery wrap top with a pair of leather hot pants which were purchased from Clothes Mentor, and can also be found on Poshmark for a lower price. I decided to go with an animal print for my shoe choice, which is a bootie style with a 3-inch heel and a zipper on the interior side. These shoes were also purchased at Clothes Mentor, but a similar pair can be found at Walmart. To give some final touches to this look, I added a chunky black statement necklace, black stone accent rings, a black crystal hand chain and wide hole fishnet leggings-which helped to tie this sultry look altogether.
The second look exudes sparkly details. This look features a long sleeved black sequin dress paired with wide hole fishnet leggings and a simple pair of black combat boots (which are always effortlessly in style). I mixed in the combat boots to give this glam look a bit of a rocker edge! Also, when living in the Midwest it gets chilly at night, so I paired this dress with a leopard overcoat (once again with the animal print-obsessed). Finally, onto the dets of the fit! I did some rummaging through my mom’s jewelry box and found a diamond choker necklace and paired it with squared off diamond hoop earrings. I have to say, this is my favorite look of the two. I love how the element of vintage jewelry meets modern styling, but with a touch of grunge. I hope these looks have inspired you to try something new for the NYE celebration ahead. I had so much fun styling these outfits! Remember, you can always find looks for less and remain trendy. Have a safe and fun new year’s fashionistas-style on!
