The Outfix

NEW YEAR'S EVE, BABY!

by Matthew T. Murray in CASUAL, NIGHT OUT, WORK


THURSDAY, DECEMBER 31st

Gucci top. Gucci pants. Gucci shoes. Gucci bag. Moet & Chandon champagne.

Step one in putting together the perfect outfit: put together the perfect playlist. I get dressed for nights out blasting feel-good anthems like "I Gotta Feeling!" by the Black Eyed Peas (above) and anything Britney Spears because well, it's Britney, bitch!

So put on some jams and get to dressing because tonight is your night to shine! I'm obsessed with my styled Gucci look, all available at Net-A-Porter. The top is everything a fashion girl could dream of - Rainbow technicolor stripes, cascading ruffles, metallic sparkle!

It's a top that's just asking to be taken out dancing on New Year's Eve! I also found a rave girl-style from Dolls Kill that only costs 12 dollars and has just as much fun as the Gucci does (yes, I'm personifying clothing)!   

Anyways, treat yourself and buy this Gucci look (and consequently start off 2016 being broke af) or find a pretty camisole in your closet and pair it with a flare-leg jean in an off-white shade (the pair pictured is Gucci but G-star has a perfect style for 1/4 the price!) Throw in a patent pink bag for a pop of color and throw on glossy metallic mules and you're ready to celebrate NYE in style!

If you're in New York, I'd suggest wearing this coat with it but if you're lucky enough to be chillaxing at some far-flung beach resort, this look works as is. Maybe just lose the shoes so you can dance the night away on the beach you lucky dog, you!

So now that you have the solution for an NYE look that's simple and fun, it's time to drink buttloads of champagne and gain 6,000 blisters from all that dancing! Go out and have fun!

See you in 2016!

WHAT TO WEAR TO HOLIDAY PARTIES

You know that now-infamous scene in The Devil Wears Prada where the she-devil Miranda Priestley herself chews out a staffer when she suggests an editorial on florals? Well, florals for spring might not have been groundbreaking buuuuutt for winter, hell yeah fuckin' right they are.

This Tory Burch dress has that elusive magic of quiet elegance that renders it timeless and season-less. Cactus, robin's egg blue orchards, and ivy leaves twist and turn in this eye-catching print making it an unstoppable force of fashion in your wardrobe.

This dress might not scream millenial bad b@%$# with 200 thousand Instagram followers but that is the beauty of styling, ain't it? Worn with Chanel slingbacks, a ladylike bag and fur, this dress would be a vision on mommacita. But paired with a shearling-trimmed leather jacket (this one is a gorgeous See by ChloƩ), a pop of pink clutch (Marni on sale at The Outnet!), and quirky oxford heels (Clarks FTW!), this dress has a youthful fresh vibe that works now and later.

Yes, you will be wearing this dress for the next 75 years so this is good use of your pennies, nickels, and dimes in that eye-sore of a piggy bank that stands proudly on your nightstand.

Plus, a dress with aforementioned timeless elegance can take you to Cousin Benny's Bar Mitzvah paired with minimalist pumps, and to Christmas dinner with the fam (yes, you celebrate Chrismukkah because Seth Cohen taught you well!) It will also take you to a beachside dinner for that Hawaii vacation you've been fantasizing about since you maxed out your credit card to book your tickets three months ago.

So take my word for it and wear this outfit to a holiday party this year. And take my word for it and wear this dress to a holiday party every year till you become that fabulous grandma who swears too much, wears sequin berets with oversize bifocals and smokes pink cigars in Atlantic City (if she isn't actually #goals, I have no idea who is).

TUESDAY OUTFIT: HOW TO LOOK LIKE THE CREATURE FROM THE PRETTY PINK LAGOON

by Matthew T. Murray


Roses are red, violets are blue, but pink is like Pikachu, so I choose you. A jolly pink coat, a fluffy Fendi, pink leather sneakers, and white jeans bring glee. This look's so Hanneli, a street style queen - you won't look like Spinelli, which is good 'cuz she's mean.
