I've honestly never been invited to a New Year's Eve party, not even before I had kids with a bedtime before midnight. What does one wear to a New Year's Eve party?
Well, this is what I'd wear.

We are actually thinking about having a New Year's gathering, we'll call it, this year. I really want to have a game night, and isn't New Year's Eve a good excuse? Especially with young kids, because we could do it early in the evening, have New-Year's-Eve type foods, and quit in time to get the kids in bed - and no one will think we're lame, because they will be leaving to put their kids in bed too. See how that works?
And here I am, writing this ahead of time to schedule for the day before New Year's Eve, and I don't know if we're really going to get our act together enough to get some people over here! I should get going on it.
Earrings: ?? Probably Charlotte Russe, probably 7 years ago? When I like an article of clothing or accessory, it stays with me.
Shirt: Forever21, bought when I was pregnant one of those times, because this is long and stretchy and can be bunched up to fit around a belly.
Sparkly Sweater: Forever21, and I had no idea how cute it would be when I ordered it a few years ago. It's a winter holiday staple, whether we are talking Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year's. It's never leaving my closet.
Leather-paneled leggings: Target, a couple years ago.
Socks: Target
Boots: JustFab
Do you do anything special for New Year's Eve?
Who has some Christmas events coming up in the next week? Oddly, this year it seems everyone in my sphere tried to do all their gatherings at the beginning of December, expecting the middle of the month to be busy, which is actually leaving me pretty free for the next week and a half. Which is perfect because I have a bunch of baking to do! That is probably what I am doing as you read this, baking with the kids. Trying to get ahead you know.

Once again, I like this outfit because it's Christmas-y without being too obvious. Though I have no problem being obvious either. See my Christmas shirt here.
Headband: Charming Charlie
Shirt: Target, a couple years ago.
Vest: Jane.com
Pants: JustFab - their jeans seem to fit me more consistently than any other store or site! I got sucked into their VIP club a couple years ago because of an amazing boot deal, and have yet cancel it. They do have the best after-Christmas clothes deals and pre-summer shoe deals I've found.
Boots: Justfab
Bootsocks: Jane.com
Any cookie exchanges (or other Christmas fun) this week?
I like dressing in the winter more than in any other season, because there are so many more layering options than other times of year. Layering adds opportunities to infuse those extra bits of style, and I still haven't figured out how to replicate it in the summer, when the warm weather means shedding layers. I love all the sweaters, cardigans, jackets, vests, scarves, boots, booties, boot socks...I could really go on, but you get the idea. I love looking through all my winter wardrobe options and seeing how I can combine my pieces in new ways!
I'm doing a little mini series for the rest of December (and maybe into January if I feel inspired) on Winter outfit ideas! Here's my first installment. A way to do Christmas-y colors without going over the top. It's perfect for any event where you want to feel festive in a not-too-obvious way! I would wear this to something like a Christmas parade or other outdoor event, because the vest and sweater combo means extra warmth.
What is your favorite season for fashion?
