More is More

Rachel Zoe is my spirit animal. 

I die for her & her love of statement dressing, & she is the queen of maximalism.

[if you watched every episode of The Rachel Zoe Project & share my obsession we need to be friends]

I've never been a minimalist. I will probably be buried in my stacks of bracelets with five pounds worth of necklaces & rinds on that will have been carefully planned and styled.

I'm all about more is more, because less is just boring.

{seriously, the more sequins/fur/jewelry/lipstick the better}

On any given day this may be seen as a little much. Rachel, one of my roommates/Barbie dolls, literally runs the other way when I try to bring any of the above-mentioned things within ten feet of her body - but I can't get enough.

Despite my love of all things sequin, I have never been one for New Year's Eve. It's one of those nights where the expectation is so high that nothing that actually happens can compare.  

For me, the only good part about NYE is the clothes. It's the one night everyone decides that what I love year-round is actually acceptable to wear, so I tend to go all-out no matter the plan.

If you're not the kind of person who feels obligated to buy every sequin romper you lay eyes on [my wallet envies you], or if you're curling up on the couch with champagne instead of freezing yourself to death waiting in line to get into a bar (I won't judge, this may be my plan - thanks Nashville for the $50 cover to get in anywhere) this is the perfect look!

[sequins + grandpa sweater = the happiest couple]

What are your NYE plans? If you've done New Year's in Nashville, let me know! I've failed at planning anything.

XOXO, Natalie
