Luxe for Less: NYE Style by theclosetbychristie

The most important part of ringing in the new year is reflecting, aspiring, and companionship. We gather with our loved ones and dream of a more amazing year while we wait for the famous ball to drop. But… it doesn’t hurt to look good while we do it! 
New Years Eve is one of my personal favorite holidays when it comes to fashion because it’s all about the glitz and glamor. Luxe takes on a whole new meaning as we drape ourselves with glitter and tulle and step into our finest pumps. With all of the great deals still in tow from Christmas, you don’t have to spend a lot to look fabulously glamorous!
DREAM LOOK

If I had somewhere fancy to go, this would be my dream outfit. It has all of my favorite things- tulle, glitter, and faux fur! I also love the chic, simple color palette of black, silver, and gunmetal with an unexpected splash of lavender on the faux fur coat. It’s so fabulous that it would certainly make the paparazzi do a double take! There’s just one problem… it’s too expensive! The accessories are affordable but the bulk of this look is made by top designers.

BUDGET LOOK

Here I styled a new budget-friendly look based on the original luxe dream-look. I kept the same simple color palette, except I traded out the splash of lavender with a touch of burgundy. Even the dress silhouette remained! This just goes to show that you can absolutely style a luxury look while on a budget! 
 
What are you ladies wearing for New Years Eve? Did you get any good deals?
