Ashley from LSR in a paisley velvet suit and black pumps

Paisley Holiday: Birthday Velvet Suit.

Going all out in a paisley velvet suit for my birthday (New Year’s Eve for the rest of the world).

I’m not typically one for subtlety, but especially not on New Year’s Eve– because it’s also my birthday. (C’mon, a girl needs to have a little fun.) I like ridiculous things all year long, so NYE is a chance to step it up. This year I’m wearing this amazing paisley velvet suit from Zara (which is on serious sale right now!), which makes so much sense since velvet was my jam the second half of 2016. No other fabric to wear on the last day of the year, in my opinion. I layered a sheer bodysuit underneath and grabbed those classic Ted Baker patent pumps to complete the look (shop this year’s version here). No big accessories for this outfit; I’m letting the printed velvet suit do all the talking.

  2. Haha I was reading your intro and thinking, “sounds like something bold, love it” and then I scrolled down to actually see your picture and I actually said “Woah!” out loud. My friend is sitting next to me studying and she gave me a weird look, ahaha. But seriously girl, you look amazing!! This is such a great look for NYE and your birthday. Hope you have an awesome weekend!

  5. This suit is amazing and you look gorgeous in it 🙂 This makes me feel like I need to branch out more in my outfit choices in 2017 as I always stick to the same sort of thing and it can get quite boring. I love that this is something different and you’re definitely not going to come across someone wearing the same thing x
