I have always loved New Year's. When I was younger it was the one day a year where I would get to stay up past midnight, which was exciting. (Staying up past midnight has become a more frequent thing for me to do these days.) But one thing that I love about New Year's now is dressing up a bit and bringing out the glitter, even if I end up just having a relaxed evening at home with my family. When looking through some of my old Polyvore outfits, I found this one and I thought it would be great for New Year's. It's a bit different from the standard sparkly cocktail dresses that everybody tends to wear, which is fun because it stands out. It also mixes a few textures - the sequin top with a leather skirt and lace clutch - which makes the look interesting.

Nothing better than cold December days

Shirt: Smart Set  Scarf: A gift from a looong time ago  Jeans: American Eagle  Boots: Call it Spring

A cameo appearance by my dog, who kept trying to jump in every shot. And jump on me. Oh, it was fun. :)

 I don't know what possessed me to go take pictures outside when it was about 5 degrees (way too cold to not be wearing a jacket outside). I went inside when my hands started turning purple. So here's my outfit for the VERY FIRST day of December. Yeah, it's December and I decided to wear a floral shirt...at least it's in fall colours right?
