Happy New Year!!! Are we ready to tackle 2016, and be as chic as we have ever been? I am!!2016 will be the year of ME, the best ME I can be, and that’s not just about the physical. I want to be the best ME, internally and externally. To get things started, here’s how I brought in the New Year, fashion wise.
On New Year’s Eve, I donned this little Lipsy London dress, that I scored on Poshmark for about $12. I’m not sure of the original retail price, but a price tag never defined style, and how you feel inside! Can I get an AMEN?! I chose to wear white, because it signifies: new beginnings, goodness, spirituality, and protection. All qualities I hope will follow me into 2016. I also love it because………….sequins!!! Of course, the little bling on the front was a winner for me. (refer to last post!)
Simple, chic, and classy. Check out Lipsy’s current selection of dresses here.
My husband’s church always has a big New Year Celebration, the first Saturday of every year. And it’s an event of pure glamour. The ladies don their best Native wear and go all out. I was fortunate enough to attend this year, and chose to mimic a Marchesa gown I saw on Nordstrom’s website. (The dress is no longer on the site, view similar styles here.)
The tulle and gold overlay were what really spoke to me. I felt so regal and elegant, more feelings I want to carry with me throughout this New Year! Marchesa usually has some of my favorite looks on the Red Carpet during award season. A good tailor/seamstress can get you very close to any high fashion designer look you want, without breaking the bank!
Hope everyone had a great holiday, and wishing you all a chic 2016!!
