NEW YEAR SAME YOU

It’s still Winter and we are still outside, for now, so what will we be wearing to start off the year?

“Fashion is universal”, we tend to hear that a lot, but have you really thought about how fashion truly connects to us mind, body, and soul? If you think about it, you can tell a lot about a person and how they are feeling, just by how they are dressed. When we feel down, we tend to not want to dress all festive, unless forced to by an engagement, but when we feel amazing and our best self, that outfit becomes everything.

We are used to focusing on the “New Year New You” outlook on life this time of year, but truth is, we are entering into 2022 facing a lot of the same stuff we thought we could leave behind. A lot of us are not where we’d hoped for different factors, when some of us are absolutely out here living our best life. New Year plans are being impacted, many of us are still trying to navigate our “New Norms”, and some will be ringing in the New Year on a rooftop somewhere, toasting to new endeavors. No matter how we feel or where we are at this time, what are some trending looks to consider, to start the new year with our most fashionable foot forward.

STATEMENT COATS

Weather is no excuse not to show up to the party or occasion. So whether you opt for a shorter dress or pair of jeans, throw on a statement-making coat like this faux leather peplum style piece to ensure your look is both chic and can keep you warm if necessary.

PARTY PANTS- Pair a lace top or body-suit with fancy trousers and strappy heels. 

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a pants kind of girl when most peg me for flocking to “the dress”. So, you can always look to me to break out my fanciest pants (and marrying them to an equally festive top or bodysuit ) to make a statement without going overboard. 

The Perfect Dress

For New Year’s Eve and after, fashion inspiration brings us sequins and towering stilettos. But you don't have to choose a shimmery, tight-fitting mini dress or walk around in pain to ring 2022 in in the right foot, there's no sparkle or height minimum to meet, despite what we may have in mind. Whether you're welcoming 2022 from the comfort of your couch or safely navigating a night on the town, here is some inspo for your perfect dress.


For the love of Two-Piece Sets

I love a good matching set that is comfortable and cute, and these looks aren’t going anywhere in 2022. Live and breathe by the matching set that saves you time and turmoil when getting dressed. Dress these up or down to fit the occasion with the perfect accessories and off you go.

No matter what Life looks like for the start of 2022, fashion can always be apart of our silver linings. Happy New Year Everyone!

Ashley
