I don’t know about y’all, but I am ready for 2015 to be o-ver. It wasn’t a horrible year or anything; there’s just no better occasion for new beginnings than the calendrical recognition of a clean slate. To ring in the new year with a little extra zing and pep, I’ve engaged in a love affair with sequins, and I’ve opted against wearing my default evening color, black. I styled this downright fabulous silver sequin pencil skirt from J. Crew with a cream top and silver accessories for a bright and classic look that I’ll be wearing to a friend’s swanky New Year’s Eve party. Full outfit details are listed at the bottom of this post.

Stay tuned for 6 or 7 different posts about my New Year’s resolutions. Sometimes I go a little overboard with the specificity of my goal setting (ex. I want to eat 6 vegetables 4 days a week during months that end with “y”). The more you dream, the more you do. Right?
