Leopard Print,Studded Heel and Faux Leather: Laid Back New Years Eve Look

Laid Back New Years Look


New Years Eve is a time to celebrate the year gone by and welcome a new one. Putting together an outfit is sometimes a last minute task. As much as we try to plan it out- sometimes it just doesn't work that way. So I thought it might be fun to share an outfit that I might throw together just in case you are someone searching for a last minute New Years Eve outfit idea! Something laid back but cute and can be worn out to a party or a romantic dinner out.

I opted for a pair a medium wash skinny jeans. I find that wearing skinny jeans can be easily dressed up, but offers flexibility and comfort for the night. I paired a cute leopard print top, because it was a trendy print this year and I love the femininity of a top like this that has some flow and forgiveness to it. I would add a faux leather jacket-it's cute and adds a bit of an edge to the outfit, which is perfect for the night out like this one!

Accessories are one of my favorite parts when putting together an outfit, because they can really make what would be a simple outfit-fabulous. I selected a pair of Betsey Johnson flower stud earrings. I didn't want the accessories of this look to be too overpowering, but rather enhance it! I also added a set of mish-mash bangles. I am completely obsessed with these London Rebel studded boots from ASOS. They compliment the faux leather jacket, will keep your toes warm and have a sexy studded heel. Last, but not least I went with a bright pop of red nail polish-like this one from OPI in Big Apple Red. It adds that perfect pop of color to the look and what goes better with leopard print, faux leather and studded heels better then a great red polish?!

Throwing together a last minute outfit for New Years Eve doesn't have to be stressful and often times can be found by mix matching within your closet and then adding some new accessories!

I hope you have an amazing New Years and here's to 2014!! See you next year- it's going to be a good one!!

If Pinterest Were My Closet: Lunch Date Casual

Photo Source: Pinterest
I absolutely love Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen's style. I think they do such a good job of making fashion look effortless. They always look put together even when they aren't so.... put together. I came across this outfit on Pinterest and it sparked another post of If Pinterest Were My Closet and I thought this would look amazing for a casual lunch date with girlfriends!

It's casual and cool and I LOVE the scarf paired with the leather jacket and a plain white tee. Brilliant!

So here is my version of this outfit with a few twists!
As I mentioned before I ❤ LOVE ❤ the scarf and it's partly because of the color. Orange is perfect for Fall and to be honest I don't see alot of orange worn as a statement piece like that. Am I missing something? I also love how it's worn, thrown around the neck I feel like it makes the scarf stand out more. So I chose a Nordstrom scarf with orange, black, and beige.

In the photo you can't see what shoes she chose so I deceided to go with a flat. Comfortable and never goes out of style. Steve Madden black flats with a studded toe is a must-especially because you won't pay for it later if you decide to go shopping with the girls after lunch! Which happens more times then not.

A faux leather jacket over a plain white tee is super cute. I think it looks really trendy and put together and can be paired with so many different looks.

I also really liked this Steve Madden black bag, because not only is it a practical size and is equip with shoulder straps and crossbody options, but I like that it is textured. Adds a little something extra.

Finally the jeans. A wide leg jean is my favorite part of this look. They are so cute and super comfortable, plus I think they give off a certain. I-don't-care-and-I-just-threw-this-together. In the spirit of effortless Olsen fashion.

I hope you liked this addition of If Pinterest Were My Closet. Have fun at lunch with these options that I found. They are affordable, but really reflects the Olsen look!

What do you think of this for a casual lunch date?
