New Year's Eve: Going Out or Staying In?
New Year's Eve
Going Out or Staying In?
That is the question… I’m still undecided whether or not we’ll be hosting a party, but I always like to get festive on New Year’s Eve, no matter our plans! Today I wanted to share a few of my festive finds whether you’re planning on dressing up or staying in and still want to be festive!
These items are from Amazon, and most items/sizes should be available for two-day Prime shipping. Check out my Amazon storefront and last-minute NYE looks from last year on this post! Arguably, more importantly, ensure you are intentional with what color underwear you wear. I shared more about that in this New Year’s Eve Underwear Traditions post!
Going Out?
Here are a few of my recent finds that would be perfect for a festive night out (or if you’re feeling fancy staying in). I recently bought this faux fur shawl, which gives any outfit the chicest hint of warmth and luxury. I recently tried this slip dress and faux wrap mini dress and sized up in both. Glad I did because I like a little extra roominess and needed it for length on the shorter one.
This emerald green silk top and coordinating bottoms are sold separately, so you can mix and match your sizing. The top runs generously and is long enough to wear with leggings which I love. I took a chance on this blue sequin dress, which is a winner and comes in several colors. It looks and feels way more expensive than it is and is sized 14 up to 32 plus! I sized up because sequined anything tends to run on the smaller side. When all else fails, throw on a black dress with festive champagne-inspired or feather earrings! I love both of these. They add a fun and festive touch to any look year-round.
Staying In?
You can have just as much fun staying home for New Year’s Eve! Some of my favorites over the years have been at home. You can still make it fun and festive while keeping it low-key. These feather pajamas are an absolute must, but I recommend sizing up, paired with some feather slippers, of course! There’s no such thing as too many feathers.
For some hosting inspiration, check out these five easy appetizer ideas in a recent blog post and eight entertaining essentials! We purchased these champagne flutes last year, and I can’t recommend them enough. They are excellent quality and do well in the dishwasher too. This serving tray is one of my favorite year-round hosting items, it comes in several different shapes, and you can keep everything on ice without your food getting wet with the separate compartments.
I hope you enjoyed this post on NYE inspiration, and I’d love to hear whether or not you’re staying in or going out this year! Thank you so much for reading. Don’t forget the red (or whatever color you choose) underwear! Wishing you a fantastic holiday season.
Happy New Year!
