New Year’s Eve Inspiration

A good friend of mine was in a bar over the summer and heard some girls talking about me. Like the good friend she is, she eavesdropped for a bit and then chimed in — oh! I know that Preppy Runner! She’s a good friend of mine. Obviously I wanted to know what she overheard.

“Well, they said you were really girly.” My blog is pink and green, and I am mildly moderately obsessed with Lilly Pulitzer. I run marathons in skirts. Yes, I am very girly, and I am a-okay with that.

Which means despite hating the BS of New Year’s in New York (though I just solidified plans today, so I’m feeling things a bit more), I do love the excuse to get all glammed up.

Christmas giving and receiving means my wallet is drained and my closet is stuffed, so I’ll likely just be shopping in my own closet, but it never hurts a girl to look, right? Here’s a few glittery things that are making me smile right now.

What does your glammed-up New Year’s dream look like?

  • My glammed up NYE would be sitting on my sofa in my flannel PJs, wearing my favorite Jimmy Choos and falling asleep during a Friends marathon! :) Although this year, I have dinner plans. Have a happy new year and I hope 2016 is a happy and healthy one for you and your family!

  • I have the DVF Zarita dress you posted and LOVE it. Everyone needs this in their closet in black and navy. Happy New Year, Theodora!

  • I never really look forward to New Years Eve, but I'm trying to get myself at least a little bit psyched up to go out tonight. Unfortunately, I don't have anything too glamorous in my closet - so I'll be glamming up by just putting on more makeup then I usually do! HA

    • I hate NYE..and was sick of everything in my closet, so just accidentally bought a new dress :) Happy New Year!
