My New Years Eve look!

Dolled and Proud

Happy New Year!

Appreciate 2014 and celebrate 2015! 

Going to a NYE party and I have to look my best! Obviously sparkles is a must for New Year’s Eve, so I chose a navy dress to show a wintry side that has silver sparkles on it! 

Due to the silver sparkles, I went with all silver jewelry and a silver (and sparkly 🙂 ) headband. As for shoes, I wore my silver flats that are topped off with a silver (of course) buckle. 

What I love most about this dress are the little details. The shoulder and back is lacy, which balances out the sparkles. 

Since it’s cold outside, I have to prepare for the worst weather, so I added an off-white scarf and a navy jacket! The scarf compliments the dress perfectly and the jacket matches the dress while giving me a warm and cozy look.

10 Easy New Year’s Resolutions Anyone Can Achieve

8 Moves to Make 2015 Your Best Year Yet!

 

The articles above inspired my resolution. 

BE. HAPPY.

 I don’t want to decide now what I want to accomplish for the year because from experience, life changes in a split second. I want to reduce my anxiety and to accomplish this, I am going to take this year step by step. Every month, I am going to write down in a notebook a list of what I want to accomplish for that month and do everything needed to accomplish those goals. This way, I will become happier everyday because I will constantly feel successful by accomplishing little goals, but more of them. The key is that after the month ends, I will continue the goal throughout the whole year. By doing this, I will accomplish my New Years resolution and finally

BE. HAPPY.

Working with different shades of the same color!

Dolled and Proud

I went to the mall today and since it was a gloomy day out, I decided to go with the weather and wear gloomy colors. I chose the colors gray, black, and silver as a focus today, but I didn’t want to overpower the colors. 

To avoid this, I wore a shirt with a hint of black (there were little owls, butterflies, and birds… so cute!) and black leggings. As for gray, I wore two different shades of gray. The light gray shirt perfectly contrasts the dark gray cardigan. 

Here’s a closer look at the ADORABLE animals on the shirt 🙂 

Now for the silver additions. I figured silver blended in with the look very well, so I added silver rings, a silver necklace, and a sparkly silver headband (which would be perfect for New Years Eve!). 

Don’t look back. You’re not going that way.

How to color coordinate your look!

Dolled and Proud

To create a perfectly matched outfit, I pick a couple colors as a theme and base every piece of the look off of those colors. Today, I chose burgundy and gold. 

My burgundy leggings match this necklace as it has a hint of burgundy on it. Also, I chose gold as it matches burgundy because it gives the look a warmer feel. 

Just so happened that I have a burgundy scarf that just completes the look! White goes with everything and I didn’t want to go overboard, so I wore a white long-sleeved shirt and a wintergreen jacket.
