We took these photos in advance, hoping that I would get around to sharing them before New Year’s and while I’m still feeling under the weather, I did want to get this post up so here they are 🙂
My husband and I decided to go out for a New Year’s Eve party in one of the downtown venues (which will be happening tonight). I don’t actually recall any other New Year’s Eve when we celebrated in this way. It was always either spent with family or with friends, but this year we went for a more romantic date-like event. We’re looking forward to it and to mark the occasion, I pulled out a white dress with black lace and sequin floral appliques. I planned to wear this dress for a while and New Year’s, which is more strongly associated with winter white, felt like the perfect occasion. A black and white (or just white) dress is always an elegant option. The only celebration for which I wouldn’t wear these colors would be a wedding.
I wish you a wonderful New Year’s and that 2019 bring you many joys. I hope you all get to celebrate New Year’s with your favorite traditions or by doing something new and exciting. Happy New Years everyone!
Thank you for reading. Be kind. Be you.
If it speaks to you, I’m wearing:

December 31, 2018 at 12:10 pmWhat a great dress! I love the contrast of the appliqued top and the pure white bottom of the dress. I’d freeze in a sleeveless dress :/ Your pictures are gorgeous! I’m sorry to hear you haven’t been well and I hope you feel well this evening when you head out to celebrate. We attended a party at a hotel one year and it was so fun to get dressed up and party. Be safe and Happy New Year!
