Looks to Ring in the New Year in Style

Let's face it, girls. When it comes to the holidays, sometimes it can be tough to pick out the perfect outfit. (Especially without breaking the bank!) But that's why I'm here to help. If you're looking for a little outfit inspiration for New Year's, then look no further. I've picked out three outfits, each with their own unique style, for whatever plans you have to ring in the New Year. The holiday season calls for lots of metallics, sequins, and all things shiny and sparkly. That's just what these outfits deliver, in varying degrees of course. Plus, each of the items in these outfits is $50 or less. (Sounds good already, right?) So here are my three outfit picks to start your year off right:

1. Outfit #1: Casual Chic

Oxblood Sweater ($27), Boyfriend Jeans ($30), Chelsea Boots ($40), Tote ($33), Hat ($49), Layered Necklace ($35)

If you plan to chill at home with your family or just hang out with a few friends for New Year's, then this is the ideal outfit for you. The whole idea is to look chic and to be comfortable while doing so. (Isn't that our ultimate struggle anyway?) An oversized oxblood sweater paired with some boyfriend jeans is a great match on their own. But add some Chelsea boots (a personal favorite), a cute hat, and some matching accessories, and your cozy evening look is complete. 

2. Outfit #2: Subtle Shimmer

Sequined Top ($25), Leather Pants ($35), Heels ($20), Nail Polish ($15), Clutch ($50)

Let’s say you want to stand out at the party you're going to, without looking like a Christmas tree topper. Well, as the title suggests, this ensemble will add a subtle amount of shimmer without going overboard. I've chosen this amazing sequined top from H&M, which serves as the focal point for this outfit. Then I added some leather pants for an edgy look, along with nude heels to balance all the colors going on. The clutch and nail polish add an extra pop to the look, too. When you're wearing this outfit, you're sure to be the "shining star" of the party. (Pun intended.)

3. Outfit #3: Festive & Fab

Dress ($48), Booties ($45), Clutch ($38), Earrings ($28)

This is another look to try if you're heading out to a party on New Year's. If you're not big on leather pants, then you can never go wrong with a dress. This halter dress is a gorgeous metallic color; perfect for this time of year. I paired it with some peep-toe booties, and a sequined clutch. I also chose statement earrings, which polish off the look. Who says you can't look festive and chic at the same time?

So whether you plan on dressing up for a glamorous party or just for hanging with friends and family for New Year's, I hope these three outfits sparked your creativity. For whatever you plan on doing on New Year's: have fun, be safe, and be sure to look fabulous while doing it.
