NEW YEAR’S EVE OUTFIT
This year is slowly coming to an end. This is a time of year when we look back and reflect on what we have done. As always there are highs and lows, good times and bad, and plenty of lessons that were learned. We can now look forward with high expectations of the coming new year. I can remember sitting by my radio and listening to the countdown of the year’s top hits.
Back in those days I would get my cassette recorder out and try to time it just right so that I could get all the song recorded without all the jabber from the DJ. I thought I was so cool. The next time I went to school I would tell everyone about my tape. We would compare our versions and try to decide who had done the best job. Lol! In middle Tennessee “the” radio program to listen to came out of Chicago. From memory, I am thinking it was something like WLS. Do you gurls remember Wolfman Jack???
For the first time in many, many, many years, Joe and I will actually be at a New Year’s Eve party. We normally are in bed by 10:00, (11:00 if we are living on the wild side) so I think we might have to try to get some sleep on Saturday during the day. Haha! Otherwise, you might me sound asleep on the couch that is in the women’s locker room. There is a live band that is coming to play for us and breakfast is going to be served at midnight.
This is an outfit that I think would be fantastic for a New Year’s Eve party. It is elegant and sparkly but it is also comfortable for dancing. This sequined snake print tank top is by Karen Kane and it is at least 3 or 4 years old. I have NEVER worn it! I have never worn it because it was too little for me. I did a happy dance this morning and went running through the house to show Joe that it fit! He was more interested in why I didn’t yet have on my pants. He told me that was an interesting look for the blog. Lol!!!
My necklace is called the Martha. It was one of my first purchases from Plunder. I have worn it several times since I bought it. The matching bracelet is the Edith but I decided against wearing it today. I couldn’t tell you what earrings I have on because I can’t see them. The black velvet blazer is by Izod. I looked back on my blog to see where I wore it (here) and was surprised to see where I bought the blazer. A thrift store for only $5.00! That is one of my favorite blog posts since I have been blogging. Be sure to check out the post.
I have a pair of skinny jeans on and a pair of black booties by Marc Fisher. The jeans are mid-rise jeans from Old Navy and I bought the boots at the overstock store in town.
The Lash Boost holiday special from Rodan and Fields officially ends on Monday, if supplies last. I think the Lash Boost will still be available at the same price, you just won’t get the free Lashes bag and mini eye cream. If you were thinking about ordering it anyway, then you might as well take advantage of the free items while they are available. ALSO, if you place an order as a PC, I will refund you $10.00!!!
Love the outfit! Festive, yet comfortable. I love a sparkly top with jeans. I can remember recording songs off the radio all the time! Who would have ever thought there’d be things like iTunes, Spotify, & Pandora??!!
I love the outfit Tania , I remember wolf man Jack and doing the same thing trying to record those songs just right ? .
Hi Tania! I have just started following your blog after admitting I was in a fashion rut and needed help. What a blessing you have been! I know this sounds crazy, but I would love to see how you organize your closet! How do you keep all your clothes and shoes and jewelry and purses so that it is al accessible and you can see what you have? Have a wonderful 2017!
Haha! I remember doing that with my cassette recorder, we used to press pause and release it just as we thought the DJ had stopped talking (not always successfully). Happy days ? The sparkly top is fab.
Super cool outfit Tania – and wish you lots of fun at your New Years Eve Party. We have a tradition of going to friends of ours each year for New Years Eve, there’s always a huge party and I am in charge of dessert. Last year we celebrated differently and this year we are back to our usual tradition – I am so excited – like a little child 😉
Here is my summary of 2016: http://funkyforty.com/looking-back-at-2016/
Wishing you a fabulous New Years Eve and looking forward to 2017.

That s a very sparkles top! Ideal for New Years Eve! Hope you have a great time(and don t fall a sleep!)
I LOVE this outfit… it screams “class” … understated elegance …not cheap and flashy…. I would wear this in a heart beat…you are giving me some great ideas… plus I really appreciate the price point on the jeans!!! Blessings to you
That’s an outfit I would totally wear! It looks comfortable and just the right amount of glitz. Love it!
I always imagine a New Year’s outfit a little more “colorful”; especially from YOU! ? Maybe the top looks sparklier in person.
