Personally I consider
December 31 like any other normal day. Most people start planning new year’s
eve months earlier including the evening’s outfit for women. For those of you
who haven’t picked an outfit yet and don’t plan on spending days shopping and
ending up paying more than your budget, here’s some tips to help you transform your
simplest items.
I know most of you ladies
want a very special outfit, something exclusive and unique. Sparkles, diamonds,
jewelries and fur are always on the menu. This year, I suggest you pick the
simplest outfit you can find in your closet and focus on the accessories. Avoid
buying gold dresses or fancy tops, you know you’ll never wear them again. So
instead of buying expensive clothes, buy fancy and cheap accessories from any
vintage shop or any little accessory boutique. And don’t forget to look in your
mom’s or grandmother’ closets, trust me you can find a lot of interesting
items!
Let’s start with concrete
examples!
I am sure most of you
have a simple black dress in your closets, the famous little black dress that
you always use as a backup when you don’t know what to wear. Even if you wore
it a million times and all your friends saw it, if you accessorize it the right
way, trust me they won’t even notice it’s the same dress. For the jacket,
anything can work: leather jacket, blazer or long coat. As for the accessories,
winter gloves are almost a must because they style the outfit and give a chic
touch at the same time (especially if you can find the Karl Lagerfeld style
gloves). Also choose a sophisticated hat and some cool sunglasses. If your
dress is very simple like the one I chose here, try to find a fancy necklace to
animate the dress. And of course of course, put some heels on for a sexy touch!
If you’re going somewhere
cold, choose a simple wool dress like the one I chose here. Personally I love
colorful coats with gray dresses so if you have one it would be perfect. Don’t
be afraid to put some crazy accessories and some daring colors! And if you
think the accessories are too much, focus on the makeup. I am not a big pro in
makeup but I learned that you should focus on either the eyes or the lips (not
both at the same time).
Now if you’re more a
chill person and you like to stick to your light jeans and simple top and the dress
code says fancy, it’s not a problem. You can balance the outfit with a dark red
lipstick to give a dressy touch and the big fancy earrings are mandatory. As I
said earlier the leather gloves help style the outfit with elegance. In this
case, you can’t skip the fancy heels!
Worst scenario: pants,
sweaters and beanies? You can still be dressy with the perfect accessories!
Pick a big necklace to illuminate the outfit like the H&M necklace I chose
here. Choose a small fancy clutch and a pair of sexy heels. The makeup has to
be perfect and I suggest you with the red lips and a pair of chic vintage sunglasses.
Now if you’re not the sparkle
and heels type, you can still rock a pair of Dr. Martens or vintage boots. Pick
a cute dress like this shirt dress from Mango and accessorize it with a bow tie
for example and a chic hat. Don’t be afraid to wear items with fur and colorful
accessories.
And finally you can definitely
slay with a silver nail polish and sparkling heels. You can choose very simple pants
and match them with a stylish top like this one from Topshop. Once again I
suggest you go for red lips because it’s sexy and elegant at the same time.
