Beginnings are important. That’s why I want to ring in the new year feeling beautiful, elegant, and confident. This NYE outfit does just that. It also represents some of my all-time favorite style inspirations. Gentlemanly tailoring is polished. The satin bustier is sleek and strikes that intimatewear-as-outerwear tone which is, admittedly, a fine line. A few pretty touches add softness.

The bustier is by Gok Wan, purchased at Simply Be a long time ago. Trouser is a few years old from ASOS. Ming Wang sent me this luxe cardi and I love the oversized fit, texture, and shimmer. This one is perfect for making an entrance and relishing your dramatic, shoulder-baring reveal. Clutch is Ranna Gill and shoes are J. Crew. These pieces had all been sitting in my closet just waiting to be worn together—a fashion aha moment. Let it be a reminder to never stop playing in your wardrobe.

Raising a glass of champagne to you. May it be a happy, abundant, and ultra-stylish year!
