Happy final weekend of 2017! Does anyone else feel like this year passed with a blink of an eye? Although I'm sad the holidays are coming to an end, I am excited for the new year and a fresh start. I've had so many wonderful opportunities come my way this year, and I can't wait to see where they take me in 2018. I'll be taking time this weekend to reflect on Threads for Thomas, and plan my goals for the blog this upcoming year. What you can definitely expect in this new year is seeing more of my everyday style, along with videos! I recently started doing live videos in my FB beauty group, and it's given me the motivation to film videos and improve (or I should say restart) my YouTube channel. Of course, your opinions mean everything to me, as they are what drive my motivation for this blog, so I would love to hear what you would like to see more of on Threads for Thomas. Mom style, trends, family/lifestyle, beauty? Please let me know in the comments below.
With the year coming to an end, also means finding the perfect New Years Eve look! If you're anything like me, then you know that having some kind of sequins/sparkle in your outfit is a must, even if you're hanging on the couch! Whether you're looking for an amazing dress, a cute top, or a fun pair of slippers, I've rounded up the perfect items that you'll want to wear while ringing in the new year.
This Parker Petra dress is by far one of my favorite NYE purchases. I bought it three years ago, and it has become a staple in my closet for special occasions. Not only do I love the beading and slight sparkle, but the shift style is perfect for all the appetizers I'll be over indulging on this Sunday night. Not to mention that the long sleeves are ideal for this freezing weather that we are experiencing here in New England (hence the indoor photos)! Because it's been so cold, I chose to pair this dress with booties, and love the slight mod feel that these blue velvet ones added to the dress. For a dressier look, I would pair it with heeled sandals or a great pair of pumps.
If you're looking for a fun NYE dress, then I highly suggest checking out Parker. The brand is my go-to when it comes to dresses, especially ones that are sequined or beaded. They are always well made, and most of the styles are classic, so you'll be wearing them for years to come. Parker is currently offering 30% off site wide with the code RINGIN2018, so it's the perfect time to add that perfect dress to your wardrobe, even if it's for a future occasion!
I wish everyone a very, very happy 2018, and lets cheers to the best year yet!
