Welcoming a New Year

           

I am so excited for 2016. This January will mark a full year of being here in NYC. It has been a crazy one, but not as turbulent as I expected. I've met so many new people and started so many new projects. I can't wait to see what this new year will bring. Now that I know the city a little more, I plan on really putting myself out there and escaping my comfort zone even further. 

I bought this dress off of Sheinside. Isn't it amazing? I haven't had much of a budget to splurge on a fancy new years dress, but I still wanted something that would stand out, but still look elegant. Unfortunately the fishnets I'm wearing are quite torn, even though I just bought them! But you know what? I kind of like the rundown look. I feel a little too out of place if I dress up too much. Anyway here are some more photos, taken by wonderfully patient boyfriend:

If you like this look, give it a hype!

This skirt is so fun to wear. I wanted to have a chance to wear it out before it gets too cold. I think it goes best paired with this white bustier lace top I found in a thrift store a while back. This outfit is very romantic with a sultry vibe. In order to not make it too sexy, I sported my favorite leather black jacket. Sometimes I wear this jacket over dressy outfits in order to toughen up my image. I feel that I can't allow myself to look to dainty. It's just not me. The shoes also give off a bold look with the chunky heels and big silver buckles.
