Can you believe New Year’s Eve is right around the corner? It seems like this year has flown by and since Trevor and I’s wedding anniversary is also New Year’s Eve, it’s always a fun holiday for us to celebrate! We usually try to have dinner and drinks by ourselves earlier in the evening and then head to hang out with friends after to ring in midnight. I think that’s what we’ll plan on this year as well!

I’m excited Trevor is off work since he wasn’t last year, and we can enjoy a nice yummy meal! We’ve done a lot of prix fix menu’s around Chicago and both prefer when the normal menu is available. I think we’ve decided on heading to Presidio since it’s in the neighborhood and the food is always delectable. After that, we are headed to a friends house to ring in the new year and I love this casual and fancy combo! 

I never want to be too overdressed and uncomfortable when we are just hanging with friends but always like to sparkle a little for the holiday. This sequin skirt has been in my wardrobe for over 5 years and I always get so much use out of it during the holidays. A black sequin skirt is perfect to pair with a lace camisole to dress up or a chunky sweater and make it more casual. Can you get over these poms? When I saw this sweater online, I had to have it! I loved the pale pink shade and the boxy silhouette. I thought it balanced out the fitted skirt perfectly. 

What do you guys have scheduled for the new year? Any good restaurants you are headed to? Hope you are staying warm today and had a Merry Christmas with family and loved ones!
