NYE Pajama Party
3…2….1…. Happy New Year!!! (Or New Year’s Eve I guess!) Pucker up! It’s time to kiss 2016 goodbye! This is going to be a great long weekend, and an ever better New Year. I can feel it. :)
Herein lies the question -- to go out or stay in?! While most of us love a good NYE bash, part of us wants to be at home, cozied up with loved ones. This year, why not make both a reality?
We have plans to go out, but decided to celebrate an early NYE at home. Staying in pajamas is one of the best post-holiday treats imaginable. In anticipation of 2017, a plush pajama set is sure to help you ring in the New Year in luxuriating style.
A quiet New Year’s stay-cation, is totally possible. Get comfortable, like really comfortable, (because after all, the best part of winter is not leaving the house) and make sure you have lots of bubbly on hand. Cancel all plans, and spend the night lazing in your comfiest mixed print PJs.
These navy silky sleepers were a Christmas Eve gift and all I’ve been wearing since. A silken matching set makes for a homebody-approved look. There is something dream-like about head-to-toe silk. It’s an easy way to make a night in feel like an after-hours slumber party. When shopping for a new lounge look, cozy and lightweight are on the must-list. I fell in love with these for their blending of masculine and feminine. (Neck tie print // glossy stain bow drawstring.) If you are after super-soft bedtime glamour, this is the way to lounge.
We had our faux NYE with the kids earlier this week, complete with sparkling juice and Netflix countdown. (Then we promptly put the sweetlings to bed, and they were both a-snooze by 8pm. I mean, this might be the best new date-night in tradition!)
Break out the crystal champs glasses, cut up something fresh and juicy to snack on, and let the bubbly work it’s magic. We talked about some of our upcoming goals for the year, (as a couple and as individuals) and then made sure to relax. Be silly, let your hair down. Don’t worry about the New Year hype and oft-forced resolutions. (Although mine is to seek balance/stay focused and be extra *sparkly*.)
We are actually spending NYE out as a family with some of our closest friends. Dinner Italian-style, cheering on the Bucks, and of course lots of cheers-ing will be taking place. (This group loves a theme-party and this year’s is “What dreams may come!” I’ll be sure to share pics, as I have big dreams for 2017! Follow on insta, so you don’t miss out!) So technically, it’s a night out, but on the relaxed side, which is totally my style. (As much as I identify with “party-girl” I prefer the more intimate of gatherings and conversation.)
So with another year older, and a new one about to begin, I truly wish you all the happiest of New Years!!!
Thanks for a great 2016, have a safe and lovely long weekend friends!! (And a comfortable and stylish New Year!)
