New Year’s Eve Style: A Velvet Dress + Ethical Jewelry

Just hoping on really quick to wish you all a Happy New Year! It’s been soooo cold here in Pennsylvania so I haven’t gotten the chance to go out an take pictures. (I don’t know how you East Coast bloggers do it in the winter!). So I decided to try my hand at indoor flash photography. It definitely gives the pictures a different vibe!

If I actually wore this for a date night out at The Magic Castle recently. I bought this dress last Christmas because I LOVE velvet and the color green. I was pregnant at the time so I wasn’t even sure if it would fit. But I took it out this year and luckily it works! The green color makes it a perfect dress for the holidays. I decided to be a little bold and pair it with sparkly fishnet stockings. It’s the first time I’ve worn fishnets and I have to say, I really like the extra glam that this sparkly pair brings to the look. I might be wearing these in more outfits!

I also want to mention this jewelry because it’s from an ethical fashion brand I recently discovered: SOKO. SOKO jewelry is handmade from locally sourced and eco-friendly materials by artisans who wouldn’t normally have the capabilities to have their designs produced. Their styles are bold yet minimal and also affordable! I got these pieces for Christmas and I’m in love. And right now SOKO is having their winter sale! And if you’d like $20 off your purchase email me (jeansandateacup@gmail.com) and I’ll send you an invite! You get $20 off and I get $20 off so it’s a win win!
