Moody Picks: New Year’s Eve Sparkle

Do you guys have any plans for New Year's Eve? At this point it looks like I’m going to have a low key celebration with my family. My family talked about going to St. Augustine with the kids for dinner and then we could hang out downtown and bring in the new year. So, we’ll see if that plan works out.  Anyways, I’ve put together several pieces to celebrate the new year with lots of sequins and sparkle! Hope you have a happy New Year sweet friends!

I'm loving this Festive Plaid Button-Up Shirt from J.Crew right now.  The colors in this plaid print is perfect for the holidays and the tuxedo bib just adds a little something special.  I decided to add the Crystal Waterfall Necklace to this look after seeing it on a J.Crew associate this past weekend.  I have a feeling that I'll be wearing this necklace a lot over the next few months.  The neutral colors in this statement necklace really compliments just about everything.  I can't wait to wear it!

Moody Style: The Floral Dress & Target Gift Card Giveaway

Lately the weather here has been all over the place.  Over the past couple of days, it has been in the 80's and this weekend it’s supposed to drop down to the high 50's. As much as I love having a cool, crisp fall day, these warm sunny days are still pretty awesome and I plan to enjoy them while they last.

Do you have any pieces in your closet that you absolutely love? You know…those pieces that you wear over and over again? Well, I’ve been head over heels about this cute little number from Target. When I first saw this floral dress on a few other bloggers, I knew I had to get it for myself.  It’s super comfy as well as versatile.  It is a great dress for warm sunny days with a pair of sandals or strappy heels.  It also works perfectly in the fall with a pair of booties and a leather jacket for a chic look, like I have here.  And in the winter, I think it'll look great with a cozy sweater cardigan, tights for extra warmth and a pair of knee-high boots.

Has your fall weather been warmer than usual this season or has the weather been slowly dropping like normal? How do you like to wear your dresses when the weather gets cooler?

Jacket: BlankNYC Faux Leather Jacket / Dress: Target Drop-waist Printed Dress / Necklace: Kendra Scott Rayne Stone Tassel Pendant Necklace / Bracelets: BaubleBar Gold Mary Links Bracelet and Ann Taylor Round Crystal Stretch Bracelet (similar here and here) / Clutch: Banana Republic Factory Chelsea Leopard Foldover Clutch (similar here and here) / Shoes: J.Crew Laine Suede Boots (similar here)
