New Year’s Eve

 Sequin Dress: Forever 21 – Heels – Steve Madden (similar here)
It’s that time of year again! While I don’t usually dress up too much for New Year’s Eve, I decided that with 2015 being such an amazing year I’m going to send it off with some flare!
I came across this dress at Forever 21 and I swear I think I blacked out until I was at the checkout counter and saw this sequin blush dress in my hand. I don’t own anything with sequins – or blush for that matter – so it was a bit of an odd pick for me… but I love it!  It’s comfortable and fits just right. I’m already thinking of ways to dress it down for other occasions. 
I’d also like to take this time to thank each and every one of you for your continued support. I’m so appreciative for every time you share this blog on your social media pages and let your friends know about The Nomis Niche. My heart is truly full of gratitude.
So cheers to the 2016 and may it be filled with more blessings than you can count!

Christmas in Pittsburgh

 

 Coat: Shein – Shoes: Penny Loves Kenny – Scarf: h+m – Hat: Target – Purse: forever 21

        It’s good to be back in Vegas, but I always get a little down after Christmas is over and we have to leave family and friends in Pittsburgh. This picture was actually taken in the backyard on the ONLY cold day in the Burg’. Seriously, it felt like springtime for the rest of the trip!
     I love the length of this coat. I’ve been looking for one that hit at my shins and this one was just the right price. Keep the pallet neutral and add in some pops of color, like red shoes and a red beanie.

ONE TURTLENECK TWO WAYS

Turtleneck Two Ways

     Turtlenecks are my JAM as of late. Especially the loosey goosey ones that don’t feel like hands strangling my neck (you know what I’m talking about). So forget everything you once thought you knew about turtlenecks and let’s begin… 
     First of all… you can wear them multiple ways: under dresses, tucked in skirts, under your favorite leather jacket, etc. For these two options I chose some items that I feel you may already have in your closet. 
     
FIRST LOOK: Pairing a gray turtleneck with distressed jeans and some sneaks is my ultimate winter weekend look (just check out this look if you think I’m lying). A red beanie and a leopard purse makes it feel more put together. Also, I’m very excited Adidas Originals (or shell-toes as I call them) are back. I owned three pairs in high school and I’m pinching myself for not taking better care of them!

SECOND LOOK: Depending on how the sweater fits you, I would either tuck it completely into the skirt or do a “half-tuck” for more polish. I love how the wine colored purse and emerald booties compliment each other and give your otherwise neutral outfit some color. I debated throwing on a grandma-chic broche instead of the silver statement necklace (as seen here) – but really either would look great. 

     Hope that helps! Happy styling!

Mad About Plaid

Mad About Plaid

     I’ve got a few plaid flannel shirts that I put on a heavy rotation, but incorporating the print into other pieces is so much more exciting! For the first look I paired a plaid print dress with a white turtleneck to make it more winter-ready. Don’t forget the OTK boots! 
     The second look is more casual, but still chic. Also, those Oxford shoes remind me of when I was little. The leather jacket gives the outfit a little edge too.
     For the final look, I chose a Victorian blouse underneath a plaid skirt with a lace hem. This is actually something I would wear for Christmas. So, I paired it with that adorable Kate Spade “present purse”. Go festive or go home, right?!

Sunday Sneaks

 Jean Jacket: American Eagle Outfitters (on sale now!) – Sweater: Thrifted – Sunglasses – Rayban – Jeans: h+m 
Purse: Sam and Libby (similar style here) – Shoes: Nike

     After a week in heels, sometimes your feet just need a break. I recently got these Nike sneaks and they’ve quickly become my weekend go-to. They’re also very light, which is an added perk. I’d also pair them with leather pants, a mid-calf coat and a cozy sweater.

Enjoy your Sunday everyone!

A Little Daytime Shimmer

 

Top: Urban Outfitters (similar style here ) – Purse: forever21 – Shoes: Eva & Zoe – Ring: h+m White button-up: h+m

     I normally steer clear of anything too sparkly, but I find that this top is so versatile. When paired with a white button down and some army green denim it turns into something a little less fancy and much more low key. I’ve also worn it with ripped denim, which also gives it a comfortable laid back feel.

    I actually wore this outfit to the Reba, Brooks & Dunn concert here in Vegas (a must-see) and got some compliments from strangers. In my book… friend compliments are amazing. Stranger compliments are next level! Ha!

Elephant Broche

Pants: h&m – Chambray Shirt: Banana Republic –  Scarf: Forever21 – Purse: Target – Boots: h&m 
Blazer: h&m – Watch: American Eagle – Earrings: forever21 – Broche: JCPenney

Broches are my jam lately. I love them pinned onto a blazer lapel to add a little something extra to your outfit. I saw this one in People Style Watch Magazine and fell in love (elephants are my favorite animal) My husband picked it up for me on Black Friday for $9! I’m obsessed.
