Subtle Shine -New Year's Eve Inspiration

Got your New Year’s Eve outfit all planned and laid out? Or do you need a little more inspiration? I have been in the latter category, but I spent some time re-charging my style batteries and the fruits of my labor (or restoration? Hmm) are now here for the sharing :). So often, New Year’s is about full-on glitz and glam, all the stops, over the top, glitter bomb. But this year, I’ve been attracted to subtler versions of shine.
A classic red dress always makes a great option for the holidays..actually, for a lot of days ;). If you have one, consider going for this eye-cathcing and super-trendy shade. Add a hint of shine via statement earrings and a sparkling belt. I love crystal-encrusted ones, or centrally-embellished pieces. You can DIY the latter type by adding a brooch to any leather belt you have that’s narrower than the pin length. Finish with simple black flats in a luxe material like suede or velvet. (Don’t shy away from crystal-embellished ones if you have some that are calling you :) ).
Nothing says opulence like the pairing of black with metallic, especially metallic gold. Pair a slim tee or sweater with leggings and top with along cardigan. Add formality to the look with a wide, metallic waist belt and coordinating pumps. Complete the look with statement earrings in a similar hue, and a metallic bag (black makes a classic alternative). PS if you have several rose gold accessories, the blush-metallic tone makes a stunning alternative to traditional gold.
For an even more subtle sheen, reach for the soft glow of velvet via a jewel tone blazer. Get a 70’s vibe going by layering it over a floral blouse, and then add a modern twist by pairing it with skinny denim. Finish with au courant velvet ankle booties, or always-appropriate black suede. If it’s too warm where you live for a blazer (I’m jealous!), do this look with a velvet blouse instead.
If you’re feeling totally cool girl this year, pair a glittering sequin or lamé tank/cami with cropped denim (frayed and high-low hems 100% acceptable!). Top the look with an on-trend Teddy or faux fur coat – I’ve done a classic neutral, but if you own a fun color, definitely feel free to break it out for this look! Complete the ensemble with heeled sandals or pumps in a coordinating metallic, matching sequins, embellished neutral or simple but luxe satin.
Finally, consider letting a shimmering blouse make your statement this NYE. Pieces ranging from all-out lame to subtle incorporations of metallic threads to metallic embroidered details can all work. Throw in a dash of the punk trend by pairing it with hardware-embellished slim pants or leggings and studded flat boots.  Top with a cotton biker jacket or leather moto jacket for a bit more edge and extra layer of warmth.
Happy New Year’s Eve styling,loves and best wishes for 2018! (It can’t really already be almost 2018, can it?)
