Sometimes I’m up for fashion challenges and give a lot of thought to my outfits, but others I just want a great piece that can make a basic outfit not-so-basic. This is one of them. When I was looking for great nursing holiday tops I came across great kimonos. The idea of wearing an easy top and jeans under a gorgeous kimono seemed so easy yet fashionable, a great option for New Year’s Eve for those of us who don’t go all fancy and want to go to bed right after midnight.
But you know what I thought would look even greater? A turtleneck. So I went for one of my favorite basic outfits (turtleneck, jeans and over the knee boots) and just layered a gorgeous kimono over. This mama is ready to party without abandoning an outfit she loves or doing a lot of shopping. #momwinforsure because I love shopping my closet. How about you?
Anyone else finding it hard to believe this year is almost over? I’m having a hard time accepting it. Especially because Ben was born in January and now he’s almost walking. How did it go so fast? Where’s my newborn? It really makes me cry cause I seriously think he’s my last #motherhoodainteasy. If you know a way to slow down time, let me know because I can’t handle seeing my two boys getting bigger and older every time I blink.
Anyways have a fashionable and happy New Year’s Eve and a great start to a New Year.
