Manic Monday: Fringe Benefits + a Giveaway


Happy New Year!! I don't know about you, but I'm ready to get back on it! It was actually a bit refreshing to take proper blog photos again, and what better way to kick off the new year than with this fringe number! This is what I ended up wearing for our NYE dinner last week.

I'm in love with the movement in this skirt. I wanted a tulle skirt for so long, but was never able to find one that worked one me. I do believe fringe is more my thing! I decided to play around with textures a bit vs. going all out and glamming the skirt to an infinite degree. All black, but with my trusty bib necklace (this one at Urban Outfitters is an awesome alternative, BTW), but I added some chiffon ruffles with my bag, and some suede and glitter with my booties.

Sunnies: Tom Ford | Necklace: Stella and Dot (optionoption, option)  | Bag: Saks (option) | Top: LOFT | Bracelet: Forever 21 (option) | Skirt: Express (option, option, option) | Fleece Lined Tights: TargetBooties: Tracy Reese (option)

To get you extra motivated to conquer 2015, I've teamed up with some fellow bloggers to bring you a $225 Nordstrom gift card giveaway! Enter using the Rafflecopter below - good luck!
