I workout to a lot of dance and pop music, so I guess it’s no surprise that lyrics like “bad little mama” get stuck in my head. It’s a line from Macklemore’s Downtown.

Which might also be appropriate for this post as you prep for any New Year’s Eve soirees downtown, uptown, wherever the merriment takes you.

Sometimes it’s fun to get all dressed in sequins and bows for a party. Sometimes it’s fun to go all black like this get-up. Plus, black gives you a fabulous opportunity to play with texture.

So if you’re looking for some sparkle for NYE– you’re covered. Plus, please don’t think that I only bring out the sequin extras for dressy party occasions.

I’d wear this same shirt any given day of the week with jeans and ankle booties and maybe even an anorak to keep things casual.

Have a wonderful next few days!

XX, Megan
