This year we met at our house. I made this loaded baked potato soup with fresh french bread and my sister in law brought a delicious green salad. Sometimes a simple meal and a good bottle of wine are all you need for a great time. Plus it had been a while since the four of us got together so there was plenty to talk and laugh about.
For what to wear for dinner with friends I went to my "My Style" pinterest board and found this cute black and white striped sweater combo as my inspiration.
I am actually getting a little more comfortable in skinny jeans tucked into riding boots every time I wear them.
I don't know if you noticed my new bob haircut. My young friend Emily just happens to be a talented hairdresser as well as a fellow creative soul with a cute Etsy shop, so when she offered to cut my hair in exchange for a couple of sewing lessons I happily took her up on it. It's quite a bit shorter than I'm used to but I am loving my sassy new do.
I think this would be a great look for a quiet New Years Eve at home or hanging out with friends. As for me, I'm sure I'll be tucked under a blanket on the sofa all toasty in my PJ's watching the ball drop in my living room. What about you? Anything special planned to ring in the new year?

You look great Patty. I love your style and your new "do". I really need to make an effort this new year to spruce up my "style" a bit. You have inspired me. Just hate clothes shopping. We may spend the evening playing games with some of the grands...or couch in jammies bringing in the New Year would work for me too. Wishing you and your family a blessed New Year.
ReplyDeletePatty, I get excited to see your new outfits. You did very well. Yes, entertaining should be fun, not a ton of work. Blessings to you and yours for a great new year. xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteYou look cute in your black and white outfit. I can not see the first photos, only the last one. Your meal and especially the loaded potato soup sounds delicious. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteI think your hair looks great, and I love the outfit! We are going to a friends house for NYE, but we have been known to be party poopers and leave before the ball drops. They are very understanding. We will see if we make it all the way to midnight tonight:>) Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteLove those boots :)

Beautiful photos. Happy New Year. :)
ReplyDeleteCute outfit! I still have not bought a pair of skinny jeans and boots...I have no idea where to buy skinny jeans that would look flattering on me (I wear a size 12-14) and not sure about the boots either as I have very muscly calves and regular boots do not zip over my calves. Maybe it should be one of my goals for the new year to start looking for these things so I can dress "cuter", too!
ReplyDeletePatty,
ReplyDeleteYour soup dinner sounds divinely delicious, dear friend!!!
