New Years

Hello all!

Did you all get exactly what you asked for this Christmas?

I tried my best to post consistently throughout the Christmas season, but is was freaking hard. I finished up my finals on December 14th, drove back to my home in Los Angeles, on December 18th, started my online microeconomics class on December 19th, and just helped my family move into a new home on December 23rd. Needless to say, I’ve been busy.

My family spent Christmas Eve in a brand new house, which was difficult, and we went out to buy our tree on December 24th. Talk about last minute. My brother, who is a resident assistant at his university (fun fact: I was also an RA in my sophomore year, a year in my life I will never get back), and he had to stay on campus until December 26th, so we were about a day behind everyone in our family celebrations. That’s ok. We needed the extra time.

I spent some of my spare minutes during this time on my phone, planning awesome content over the next two months for you guys. I’ve been pretty excited for this New Years outfit for a while. I swear, I think my outfits are getting better and better, in my humble opinion. What do you guys think?

I’ve been obsessed with jumpsuits lately and finally pulled the trigger on this one from ASOS when there was a 30% off sale. It’s so cute and exactly what I was looking for.

As you can probably tell from my outfits lately, I’m also obsessed with watches. Now, as I own about 5 and two have interchangeable bands, I wear one every single day now. This one is a Marc Bale piece from The Peach Box and you can get 15% off your order with my code KIRSTENORTEZ.

I love the all black jumpsuit with the nude heels. Overall, I just felt that this was very slimming and nice for a New Years outfit perfect for a party or celebration. It was my first pass at a jumpsuit and I think it’s not only perfect for the occasion, but it was definitely a success. Maybe you’ll even see more jumpsuits in the near future!

What are y’all wearing for New Years Eve? (Pajamas do count for those of you staying in to watch the ball drop!)

PS. There is a giveaway at the bottom of this post!

    I am obsessed with the cut, and love that it isn’t floor length.
