Happy Birthday Maddie!!

This weekend was Maddie's birthday and we had lots of opportunities to dress up! It was great to hang out with the family and friends and celebrate another great year of Maddie's life! On friday night we went to a delicious dinner at Laurelhurst Market and then had a little surprise party. Saturday we went to the Dragon Tree Spa and got massages and facials!

Outfit: New Years

Want the perfect New years outfit without splurging on a head-to-toe bedazzled gown? You may have the perfect look already hanging in your closet. All you need is the help of a couple important accessories. Contrary to popular belief, you can wear a dress more than once. Actually, you should pride yourself on your ability to re-wear core pieces over and over again.

New Years Party Essentials:
Sparkle or metallic (I bet you could have guessed that one)
Tights or long pants (Its December and/or January alright!)

Maddie's Outfit:
Don't be scared to wear brown with black. The proper shades DO go together. Sometimes pairing black boots, a black dress, and black tights, can turn your outfit darker than you were initially envisioning.

Dress: Aritzia
Scarf: J Crew (Similar from Target)
Earrings: Lamb Trading Company
Tights: Spanx Tights (Similar)
Boots: Steven Madden (Similar)
Top: Urban Outfitters (Similar)
Belt: J Crew (Similar)

Ellie's Outfit:
Start with the basics. Taking a pair of classic black jeans you can dress them up easily with a fancy shirt, sparkly earrings, and some pumps. I instantly fell in love with this shirt when I was at Target recently.

Shirt: Target
