NEW YEAR’S EVE OUTFIT
This year is slowly coming to an end. This is a time of year when we look back and reflect on what we have done. As always there are highs and lows, good times and bad, and plenty of lessons that were learned. We can now look forward with high expectations of the coming new year. I can remember sitting by my radio and listening to the countdown of the year’s top hits.
Back in those days I would get my cassette recorder out and try to time it just right so that I could get all the song recorded without all the jabber from the DJ. I thought I was so cool. The next time I went to school I would tell everyone about my tape. We would compare our versions and try to decide who had done the best job. Lol! In middle Tennessee “the” radio program to listen to came out of Chicago. From memory, I am thinking it was something like WLS. Do you gurls remember Wolfman Jack???
For the first time in many, many, many years, Joe and I will actually be at a New Year’s Eve party. We normally are in bed by 10:00, (11:00 if we are living on the wild side) so I think we might have to try to get some sleep on Saturday during the day. Haha! Otherwise, you might me sound asleep on the couch that is in the women’s locker room. There is a live band that is coming to play for us and breakfast is going to be served at midnight.
This is an outfit that I think would be fantastic for a New Year’s Eve party. It is elegant and sparkly but it is also comfortable for dancing. This sequined snake print tank top is by Karen Kane and it is at least 3 or 4 years old. I have NEVER worn it! I have never worn it because it was too little for me. I did a happy dance this morning and went running through the house to show Joe that it fit! He was more interested in why I didn’t yet have on my pants. He told me that was an interesting look for the blog. Lol!!!
My necklace is called the Martha. It was one of my first purchases from Plunder. I have worn it several times since I bought it. The matching bracelet is the Edith but I decided against wearing it today. I couldn’t tell you what earrings I have on because I can’t see them. The black velvet blazer is by Izod. I looked back on my blog to see where I wore it (here) and was surprised to see where I bought the blazer. A thrift store for only $5.00! That is one of my favorite blog posts since I have been blogging. Be sure to check out the post.
I have a pair of skinny jeans on and a pair of black booties by Marc Fisher. The jeans are mid-rise jeans from Old Navy and I bought the boots at the overstock store in town.
The Lash Boost holiday special from Rodan and Fields officially ends on Monday, if supplies last. I think the Lash Boost will still be available at the same price, you just won’t get the free Lashes bag and mini eye cream. If you were thinking about ordering it anyway, then you might as well take advantage of the free items while they are available. ALSO, if you place an order as a PC, I will refund you $10.00!!!
Cute cute outfit! Love the jewelry?
Here’s to a wonderful New Years ?
You just described me perfectly! My girlfriend and I would tape the radio and pass the cassettes back and forth. And I love Wolfman Jack!! So please tell me your secret how you now fit into your top! I need help! The holidays are catching up with my mid section. Happy New Year and try to stay awake for that magic moment!
Susan, I have such fond memories of those days. I have not lost any weight recently but I had lost some earlier in the year. I am going to try to start watching what I eat after the holidays and start exercising a little more. (some would be more)
I grew up and still live near Chicago. WLS was “the” station back then. Wolfman Jack and Larry Lujack are the 2 dj’s I remember hearing most often! Your outfit looks great. Happy New Year!
Sparkly with a hint of sass!! Happy New Year!!????2017!!!!!!
Great outfit Tania!! Isn’t if fabulous when something finally fits? I always do the happy dance then too!!
My husband is fighting a cold this year, so we might be in bed at 9:00—ha ha!
Happy New Year !!

Love this outfit! Looks great like someone said above, classy and also comfortable! Happy New Year to you! Can’t wait to see what 2017 brings!
Moma always made us a mock cocktail punch Ginger ale, lime sherbet and a maraschino cherry. My bother and sisters thought we were so elegant waiting on midnight with high hopes. Love the outfit. Not too dressy and not too casual. Hope this new year holds everything you could wish for.
You look great, love your outfit, and I also bought a velvet blazer at a thrift store a few months ago! And yes I remember wolfman Jack, can hear his voice clearly!
I grew up in central Indiana and WLS was my favorite station! Weird what you remember from teen years, I remember the names of some of the DJ’s ( in late 60’s/early 70’s) – Dex Card, Ron Riley and Art Roberts. I remember Wolfman Jack but not on that station. I was thrilled when I could hear WNEW in NYC with Cousin Brucie. Love your sequin top! And Happy New Year!
Love this casual, glitzy look. Wollfman Jack was great! Have a Happy New Year!
