New Year Style with Rack Room Shoes

As a mama, I get crazily excited about the opportunity to dress up for an occasion.  So New Year’s Eve is always the top of my list!  The last two years have been a bit tame for me, with being pregnant and nursing.  So upon learning that we may be headed to a fancy cocktail party this year, I started talking my husband’s ear off about what I would wear.  Glitz and glam, a champagne toast at midnight and everyone dressed in their best.  Just how New Year’s should be!

My play-it-safe option involves tights to combat the cold weather that is sure to hit Cleveland this week.  I added this teal dress and mint statement necklace, along with these amazing Maripe Sheeba black booties from Rack Room Shoes.  These are, without a doubt, the most comfortable booties I own.  I love that there’s a suede accent at the top of this bootie (where the snow and the slush can’t damage it!  Although, you could always protect it with a Suede protection spray).  Always need to be thinking about the elements!  I actually wore this outfit to a rehearsal dinner recently and would definitely wear this if we hosted our own cocktail party one day.  Although I may have to consider the Duchess booties as an alternative.

If the weather decides to play nice and I feel risky enough to bare my legs for our night out, I will definitely go with a classic black look.  Add a bauble necklace to your little black dress, a bright colored clutch and then toss on some classic black pumps.  Or, classic black pumps with a twist, like the Maripe Corina.  I originally bought these for work to wear with some of my shift dresses, but love how they pair with dressier looks.  These really are a pair that could go from the office to a party with ease.

What will your New Year’s attire consist of this year?  Are you attending a black tie event?  A cocktail gathering with friends?  Or a more casual get-together?
