NYE Outfits [Pop Fizz Link-Up!]

2014 is just around the corner, 

and I am soooo excited to link up with Khala and Samantha today! 

Cheers, honeybuns!!

NYE makes me think of sequins, glitter, and more sequins and glitter. So...let's talk outfits!!

Though I won't be purchasing any of these items (Let's be real, I'll just wear what I already have. I'm Frugal McShmougal over here.)...I sure did have the best time making these pary-tay outfits online. I will definitely use these outfits as inspiration!! Woohoo!

(P.S. How have I never used Polyvore to create outfits like this until now?!!? Holy cow that was fun!)

Going Out?

Dress / Tights / Shoes / Necklace / Bangles / Teardrop Studs

Staying In!

Leopard Cardi / V Neck Tee / Faux Leather Leggings / Fringe Boots / 
Gold Statement Ring / Green Studs / Statement Necklace

Here's the thing about NYE. It's sometimes an overrated holiday. You can "pump it up" so much in your head that it winds up being disappointing. BUT! I know the perfect remedy to avoid this letdown: be around great friends!

With that said, I couldn't help but take a little stroll down memory lane to NYEs past. Without further ado..!

NYE 2012

Mount Airy, NC

As you know, Mayberry holds a very special place in my heart! 

Of course we had the best NYE ever there so many of our favorite people.

(Fun side note: Mark called me "magician" all night because of my sequined jacket...ha!!)

NYE 2011

Charlotte, NC

Flyin' solo by the Tar Heel tree (Go Heels!) while my fiance was in England sorting out some fun visa stuff. :) 

NYE 2010
Barton-under-Needwood, England
NYE in Mark's hometown with great friends and local pubs. Perfection!
I brought sequins, but he told me people don't dress up as much in England...pshh.
(But seriously, Mom, I do love that sweater dress of yours I wore...;))

NYE 2010Charlotte, NCThese girls: my suitemates from freshman year of college! Love that we had a little reunion that NYE!(Hiiiii boos! I miss youuuuuu!!!!)P.S. Mark was in England and we were broken up at this point...thoooouuuggh I probably called him on Skype when I got home that night. :)

NYE 2008Charlotte, NCWe fell in love that summer...were crazy and stayed together...I visited him in England that October; he visited me back in NC that December. :) Oh, [super] long distance love! Thank you Jesus that there are no more 3-4 month time spans that we spend apart!!
------------------------------------------------------ Our little family is looking forward to making memories this NYE too!! We have no official party plans yet (if anyone knows any fun NYE stuff in Wilmington, give me a shout!) except being with two of the most fun people we know. You might've met them here. I cannot wait to see them!!! It's been too long. [And fingers crossed these bffies of ours will be joining us too! This NYE is shaping up to be one of the best!]

For now...let's savor, soak in, and be present in these last couple weeks of 2013!
