This (on sale!) is what I want to wear for New Year’s Eve:
Mind you, I haven’t been out on NYE for several years now. Mr. Magpie and I have long preferred a quiet night in, eating fancy food and fine champagne for two — lobster, King Crab legs, spiced shrimp, caviar — but always decked out in our finest. Ever year, I try to convince him to watch Casablanca, which my parents have always watched on NYE, and every year, he says no but ultimately agrees to watching another romantic comedy, often When Harry Met Sally, my favorite movie ever. (It has a great NYE scene in it.)
This year, I am contemplating buying Mr. Magpie this sweater and having him sport it with his tuxedo slippers. Incidentally, tuxedo slippers make a great gift for the man who has everything. Mr. Magpie always gets compliments on his. The Jolly Rogers are a classic, but I got him a limited edition set with a super crazy cool crest on it that involves a thunderbolt.
A Few Other New Year’s Eve Picks
+This embellished-collar dress ($60!)
+This gorgeous velvet and lace dress (on sale!)
+I know white is a curious choice for the dead of winter, but this dress, with the black accent, would be EPIC. #winterwhites
+Epic shoes (under $100!), or these sparkly flats.
+For a formal NYE evening wedding…you’d blow the entire crowd away in this. (I am DYING.)
+A velvet jumpsuit FTW. Get the look for less with this, or score the exact jumpsuit I bought for the holiday (in lipstick red) here.
+More holiday goodness here. And this is the dress I bought for Christmas.
LOVE that MSGM dress, and (possibly even more?) your NYE tradition with Mr. Magpie. Definitely looking forward to a casual-fancy NYE at home this year after NYE 2016, which was spent at a black-tie family wedding … would have loved to wear that Cinq à Sept dress!
Also lovelovelove that velvet Ulla jumpsuit … so perfect!!
The fancy-at-home tradition is SO lovely — you must try it out! Gives you an excuse to wear something pretty and new but without any of the stress.
