Say Hello to your Solemate!

I was driving somewhere the other day…no joke it is so true how you feel like you lose all sense of time and such during the days between Christmas and NYE…I don’t even remember where I was driving. Also, wasn’t even sure if I made it out wearing the same shoes. All I know is that I could immediately tell you how many naps I have taken and how much of that delicious honey ham I have ate. Hopefully some of you can relate to this and if not…well…this is my life. Anywho, I was driving around lost somewhere and the song “These boots were made for walkin” came on and the idea for this post popped into my head!

In a lot of ads & posts about NYE looks and inspo I see many revolved around the dress, jumpsuit, skirt, etc. as the main centerpiece, which I think is absolutely important, but what about what you dress up those toes with!? I vividly remember the NYE quite a few years back where I did not plan my footwear situation that well in advance and ended up with peep toes in the snow trecking through downtown Chicago! Well, that will never be happening again and I do not want it happening to you my lovely friends either.

Usually when I think NYE looks I immediately think of crazy, metallic, embellished beauties but as said based around the weather I did a round up of a bit of both for inspiration for you guys. Some functional, some fashional, and some just who knows but they are epic!

Will your feet be kicked up on the couch in cozy slippers or dancing the night away when the clock strikes 12?! I will probably have my feet propped up on the couch…with heels on. It’s called balance right?!

The must have dress for your closet!

Anyone else wanting to wear their pajamas in public this week? I must be feeling some type of seasonal fashion depression as of late with the weather going from hello two piece bathing suit weather to ok where is my parka it is -12 outside.  So how does one stock their closet for these tricks mother nature is pulling on us? Transitional dresses are the answer!

Now when it comes to purchasing transitional dresses what matters the most in my opinion is the material, fit, and print.  This does sound like a no brainer, but purchasing dresses without some of these specific details may leave you in the cold or having pit stains that almost reach down to your waistline…been there…seriously…not fun.  My go to transitional dress this season has been this very light knit, long sleeve, cross chested dress by Who What Wear from Target.  Ok, I have to confess I am pretty sure I have an obsession with this brand, but I mean come on their prices are on point and they have a variety of sizes for all of their pieces!

This dress is perfect because if the weather is a bit warmer this can be worn with bare legs, open toed heels, and you can skip the jacket.  If it is more on the cooler side you can pair this dress with tights, ankle boots, and a leather motto jacket.  If you feel like a mix of both you can even style it how I pictured here with bare legs, ankle boots, and no jacket!

Purse, TJ Maxx, under $40 | Booties, ASOS, undr $50

Earrings, Francesca’s, under $30

The material has the perfect amount of stretch to it and with that little bit of sparkle can give you the total glam vibes by adding simple accessories. This dress was under $50 and you can buy it online as well.  I also included a couple of other great transitional dresses from the Who What Wear collection with links to shop!

If you are reading this…hooray you survived happiness and chaos that is Thanksgiving and Black Friday! Oh wait, even better also Small Business Saturday, my personal favorite. Guys, wait what about Cyber Monday! So if you forgot that you have a gazillion holiday parties next month and you don’t have time to search for that perfect look hold your gasp, I have done the leg work for you! Here are my top 3 favorite sites for size 12+ to find the perfect look and get that Cyber Monday deal:

  1. EloquiiWhen I say 50…you say percent off..50 percent off! Yes you heard my inner cheerleader chant right…50% off! This is an amazing deal since their regular priced items are fairly priced and this discount is a total added perk. I suggested this top to a friend who is trying to find a pairing with a festive skirt she bought. Use code FRENZY at checkout.

  1. Ellos– This Swedish owned company has mastered the amazing go to staple items for your closet such as jackets and jeans.  They are doing 25% off your entire purchase using code ELGIVETHANKS.  On one of my Instagram posts I was rocking these washed pleather kneed jeggings with lace up tie and I got so many wonderful compliments. Get yours now too at a discounted price!

  1. Asos– They are running a 30% off everything with code Thankful30 through Monday! Such a perfect place to get a new pair of boots for wide calf or foot.  I snagged these faux snake skin ankle boots that pair perfect with distressed skinny jeans or a midi dress black dress.
