Simple outfit to deal with a humid NYE. We are having a fairly quiet one close to home and will head out to the local fireworks to welcome in the new year. Had to wear something metallic of course, New Year's Eve calls for sparkle really.


This post also marks a year of blogging! Although I tried to blog what I was wearing every day for a year I didn't make it due to illness, so maybe next year I'll be able to share every single day.

Thank you all for your support, lovely comments, constructive criticism, outfit suggestions and inspiration you've given me. I've found so many new blogs and made so many new bloggy friends!


I hope 2013 has bigger and better things for everyone, and that you all have a safe and very happy New Year.

The top was last worn here, skirt here, sandals here and bag here.

Wore a pretty summer dress to beat the heat today. I don't wear this dress often (this is it's first appearance on the blog) but it's so perfect for hot days I keep it around. The only downside to it is that it's so light and airy it gets caught in the wind a lot. Trying to get a photo this morning when it was really blustery was hilarious. Luckily this one turned out okay! I'll put a couple of others up in the facebook out-takes album for you to giggle at :)


The sunnies were last worn here, and bag here. This is the first time I've worn the sandals as they are a new purchase, and the first time I've worn this dress on the blog although it's a few years old.
