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!!!
Wolfman Jack and the Midnight Special! What I would record on my handy cassette tape recorder was the weekly countdown that Casey Kasem would do then of course the year’s top hits. I had some mad skills with that pause button 🙂
Love the sparkly top with jeans. You look very slim. I also did the recorder thing, but mine was an old reel to reel. I liked Larry Lujack best. We are going out for an early evening tomorrow, wish I had that outfit. Happy New Year and thanks for being real.
Love your casual, sparkly outfit. Great for a party! – Amy

I totally love the outfit. You gave me some ideas for a casual but celebratory 60th birthday party in January. I didn’t want to get too gussied up so planned on wearing nice jeans with a black velvet jacket. I will look around the clearance rack for a similiar top. Thanks again!
BTW I too had a cassette player and remember Wolf man Jack and I’m from Boston area.
Happy New Year to you and yours Tania ? looking beautiful as always – loving the bling ?personally would probably have done a sparkly blk stiletto with the Jean as I love a bit of bling for the New Year ? have a great time at your party
Totally something I would wear!! Happy New Year to you and yours!
Yes, girl!!! I listened to Wolfman Jack in West TN, too! Also recorded songs off the radio to my little cassette recorder. Brought back some memories with this one! ? 3 Dog Night, The BeeGees, Ike and Tina Turner, Credence Clearwater to name a few….
I love the velvet blazer. You look so pretty!
Right on!! Oops, my inner 70’s coming out! You look terrific and exactly what I’d wear. Have a fabulous new year and I look forward to your posts in 2017!
Oh my Wolfman Jack!
