New Years Eve Outfit of the Day

Hey lovelies! Hope your new year is off to a great start! I just decided to film my New Years Eve outfit of the day for work. Boy let me tell you, it is hard wearing something that is out of stock and in demand in a retail store! Being a walking mannequin is no joke. I was seriously considering taking off my shorts and walking around in Spanx.

For my outfit I wanted to wear a lot of sequins without looking like a huge glitterball. What is NYE without sequins? My main piece was a pair of striped black and blue sequin shorts. Since they were high waisted with no details like pockets or buttons, I lost shape in my butt. To fix that I wore my favorite Victoria’s Secret Body Shaper to shape that booty! I opted for a tank that had a short, faux vest with black sequins to not take away from the sequins on the bottom but still be festive. Since the black tank was solid, it broke up the sequins to not clash. I added a slightly cropped blazer and medium opacity tights to add a small amount of class. Otherwise, I’d probably look like I was ready to work Bourbon Street if you know what I mean! Blazers and tights instantly add a conservative yet casual look depending on how you style them. To top (or rather, bottom, haha) off the look I chose a pair of Gianni Bini black cowboy boots. I wanted something edgy but nothing with a crazy heel so I could work comfortably in them. My only other accessory was a pair of blue glittery heart shaped earrings since there were so many other sparkly items in this look.
