NYE is just a few days away and I think I have found the perfect dress n’ shoe combo for the occasion! The dress kind of has an 80s vibe to it with the high neck style and shoulder pads…yes, shoulder pads. To add some sparkle to the look (because you absolutely need to wear some sparkle for NYE), I’ve paired this dress with this amazing sparkly heel that you need in your wardrobe!
Now, I never ever ever in my wildest dreams thought I would be wearing a dress with shoulder pads…but look where we are.. I feel like I have broad shoulders to begin with, so I have it in my mind that if I wear something with shoulder pads it will make me look broader than I already am. BUT! That is not the case with this gorgeous dress from a brand called Tobi. I’ve been shopping from Tobi ever since freshman year of college and I can say that over the years they have really incorporated a lot of fashion trends into their brand – along with being super affordable.
This dress is super soft with a silk material and a cheetah pattern. The pattern is blended into the dress and isn’t so in-your-face which I like. The top is loose, but then it turns into slight body-con style at the bottom. It sinches at the waist and has a ruffled material which is very flattering on the body. Now lets talk about the shoulder pads. They are very small and aren’t over powering which looks flattering in my opinion. Honestly, if I didn’t say anything about the shoulder pads, you probably couldn’t tell they were even there.
Now, my FAVORITE part about the outfit is the SHOES! These sparkly, lace up heels are from a brand called Public Desire and their shoes are ON POINT with trends right now. I’m obsessed with these shoes and they are absolutely perfect for NYE! For jewelry, I decided to not wear any to keep all of the attention on the dress and especially the shoes. But if you wanted some jewelry and want to go along with the 80s style of the dress, maybe pairing this dress with some long pearls or a silver long necklace could add a nice touch to the look.
I hope that this outfit gave you some inspo to figure out with you’re wearing for NYE! Also, let me know what your opinion is on shoulder pads! Would you or wouldn’t you wear them?
xo, Maggie
