There’s no better trend than velvet to inspire a NYE outfit! In the past I’ve usually gone with a sequin dress but this year velvet is my preferred look, and this gorgeous long sleeve velvet dress from Modern Mermaid is perfect for the occasion (Check out more from Modern Mermaid at ModernMermaidStyle.com!). I love that it’s long sleeve and has a mock neck because winters in the northeast can be brutally cold, so it’s nice to be more covered up and still look super cute. The beautiful champagne color makes it easy to pair this dress with any color shoe, bag, and accessories. I opted for an all neutral look because I didn’t want to draw the eyes away from the dress, but a clutch with a pop of color would definitely just add to the beauty of this look!
I can’t believe this year is almost over, 2017 has been my best year yet. I started this blog, Jonathan and I got engaged, we explored another beautiful Caribbean island, I was promoted at work, my brother graduated college, I surprised my dad on his 60th birthday, my cousin became pregnant, my best friend had a baby, and we spent another year making memories with family and friends! To say that I am blessed and eternally grateful is a huge understatement. Of course life isn’t always rainbows and butterflies, I’ve had my fair share of hardships, but if you have the right people beside you it’s a beautiful and crazy ride. I have the most supportive, loving, and amazing people in my life, a wedding to plan, a blog to share my story and creative style through… what could be better than that?! I am so excited for 2018 and what it will bring. More to come! 🙂
I hope you all have an incredible and safe New Year!
