Wishlist Wednesday – Winter White and “Bare Pink”

I think it is safe to assume that every fashionista out there has a “wardrobe wishlist!” With holiday parties and plans already in the works, it is time to start thinking about outfits. You might find yourself beginning to ask, what should I wear for Thanksgiving…the first night of Hanukkah? Or, what is the appropriate attire for La Nochebuena (Christmas Eve) and Christmas this year? Well, luckily I have most of those outfits planned out, and I’ll be styling them for you in the near future, but what is on my wardrobe wishlist today, is this ultra girly/glitzy outfit by BCBGMAXAZRIA – PERFECT for New Year’s Eve night!

When planning a special occasion outfit, I always recommend starting with one essential piece, and then designing the outfit around that one piece. That one piece could be a dramatic pair of earrings, a statement necklace, a blinged out top or jacket, or a pair of fancy bottoms. Well, since fashion is cyclical and sequins have been “in” for the last decade, I am starting out my New Year’s Eve wishlist with a pair of rose gold Dena Snake-Sequined Leggings (pictured to the left)! These “hot pants” will definitely get heads turning.

Now on to the top. I chose the Nalia Short-Sleeve Blocked Top (pictured to the right) in “Bare Pink.” Since the leggings are the essential element to this outfit, I chose a plain top to balance out all that is going on below the waistline. Not only does this top tone down the sequins just a tad, but it’s an ideal top to wear with leggings. Its boxy silhouette compliments the skin-tight leggings, while the high-low hemline provides just enough back coverage. Whether or not you decide to add another layer, throw on your go to pair of nude pumps and Voila! You’re ready to ring in the new year in style.

I decided to complete this look with BCBGMaxazria’s Upas Cape (pictured to the left) because winter white is one of my favorite hues. Not only does it match everything, but just when you’re tired of your grays, blacks, and browns, incorporating winter white to your cold-weather ensemble will undoubtedly jazz up your look. Holding true to its name, this sleeveless cape simply covers your shoulders while giving off the appearance of a classic blazer.
