Vintage New Years Eve

Good afternoon lovelies,

Tonight is New Years Eve, a celebration most people believe to be incredibly overrated, but I believe like most things in this world, it is what you make of it. I’m not one for going to a nightclub for New Years or most eves to be honest, I prefer spending time with friends at someone’s house; both cheaper with no $40 entry fee, and you get to spend time with people you like to spend time with.

No matter what you’re doing, adding a little vintage glamour to your affairs can only make them more fabulous, but how can you do this?

Dress The Part
Dressing the part is the ultimate way to feel glamorous, a lot of my fabulous readers already do this, but tonight is a night you can real unleash a decadent outfit. If you’re wondering what to wear still (I know I haven’t decided yet), think of your dress silhouettes, for me vintage parties often conjure the thought of two silhouettes a fuller/circle skirt, or a wiggle dress.

For a more casual party consider capris, they’re super cute, but not too casual at the same time! You can also look up your favourite vintage star, or modern pinup girl and put together an outfit that embodies their style.

If you’re planning on having more than a couple drinks, I’d avoid wearing true vintage, or pastel colours, when intoxicated spills or rips are much more likely to happen, and looking glamorous isn’t worth destroying a beautiful garment.

Vintage cocktails are the perfect way to add glamour to your evening, while more suit for if your hosting a party or something else’s, I don’t think most bartenders would know how to make a Gimlet or Zombie, but there a few that clubs may know hot to make.

Above all have a safe and fun night!

More vintage vlogs and blogs coming soon!
