I can’t believe it’s almost 2019. Time is going by too fast and it needs to stop haha anyway, I did a try-on of some NYE outfit ideas I already had in my closet. You might have some of these in your closet already too, but I linked some just in case. I picked retailers that usually do buy online, pick up in-store IF they have the item in your store. Most of the skirts were not, so you’d just have to check at your store or see how fast or slow they ship to make sure you get the item before the holiday.

If you can’t get an item in time, I hope this at least gives you some ideas of outfits you could put together with items already in your closet. Have a happy new year everybody!

More cozy things:

Love this cozy chenille sweater! It has a zigzag look to the front and different patterns on the sleeves and bottom. So comfy! I’m 5′ and wearing a small.

This cozy fuzzy sweater is comfortable and has adorable sleeves! Plus, the color is cute for this time of year! I’m wearing a small in this also.

Love this plaid shirt and cardigan combo! The plaid shirt is under $25 and isn’t a button up, but it would be cute with leggings or with jeans. The cardigan is a fuzzy material and has adorable big buttons down the front!

Cozy cozy cozy. That’s all I really need to say about this cute little sherpa pullover! Love the neck on it, the color, and everything! I have to admit that I haven’t actually been to Forever 21 in years…but I have been seeing some really cute things from there on other bloggers and so I decided to stop by. They have a ton of cute things for great prices!

This cardigan caught my eye because of the tortoise buttons! It’s really soft and cozy and a great length for us shorties!

This chunky chenille-like knit sweater was y favorite! It’s a little cropped, but not too much and the multi-color pastel thing it has going on is just adorable!

This sparkly number caught my eye and I immediately thought New Years or Christmas parties! It really wasn’t itchy either, which I worried about a little. I tried the small, but I think if I had sized up one or two sizes I could wear it off the shoulder, which would be super cute with jeans!

Yes, this is as soft and fuzzy as it looks! And it’s one of those off-the-shoulder tops that doesn’t change its mind and become an on-the-shoulder top! I would also wear it with a black skirt to dress it up a little bit! I ventured out of my usual Target comfort zone and went into H&M to try on some new things. And oh my gosh they had a lot of cute stuff! I tried to pick some good cute and casual pieces because that’s what I like wearing most. Everything is linked at the bottom of the post! Happy shopping!

This is a great quality casual hoodie! I tried an XS cause that’s all they had, but I would actually size up to a S or M.

Chenille! It’s one of my favorite fabrics and it’s so easy make look cute on its own! I love the fitted wrists and different ribbed patterns all over. This color is unfortunately sold out online, but they still have cream and black, which are great neutrals.

This cozy thing tho! I’m a sucker for leopard and this was too soft and cozy to pass up! Size up if you want a roomier fit, which would also be cute!

Hello Christmas! Just kidding! I’m not quite ready yet, but if I was this top would have come home with me! It’s the perfect color for Christmas and it would be super cute under a sweater or dressed up with a skirt!

Happy Halloween! I almost didn’t dress up this year, but my birthday fell on the Saturday before Halloween, so if I was gonna go out, I needed to find something Halloween-ish to wear. I searched Pinterest forever, but couldn’t find anything that wasn’t too over the top. I think this is a great look if you want to do something fun, but it’s also not too much. I got my sweater at Target and sized up from a small to an extra large since I wanted it to fit oversized. This is a little more dressy version of the look with a skirt and booties, but I also tried it on with some black shorts/jeans with my Steve Madden quilted slip-on tennis shoes for a more casual look.

Making the ears:

You need: (all from Hobby Lobby)

a headband

leopard felt

black felt w/ sticky backing (it’s thicker so it helps the ears stay standing up)

glue gun

Step 1: cut out a piece of cardboard in a triangle shape with rounded corners to make the pattern

Step 2: trace it onto the felt (2 ear shapes in the leopard felt & and 2 ear shapes in the black)

Step 3: cut them out and make sure you leave the stem-like part kind of long for attaching it to the headband

Step 4: glue the rounded triangle part of the ears together. The black will be the back part and the leopard in the front

Step 5: then glue the long part around the underside of the headband

You’re done!
