Happy New Year's Eve! {celebrating with J.Crew?}

Happy New Year J.Crew Aficionadas!

I want to take a moment to wish everyone a wonderful new year! {yey!} I look forward to celebrating the up-coming J.Crew collections with you all. :)

As usual, this post is to find out what everyone is planning to wear tonight. I know I have mentioned this before, but I also really enjoy these posts. I find it interesting to see how other Aficionadas and Aficionados style certain pieces, providing me wonderful ideas for future outfits. :) So for this post, what we are planning to wear during New Years Eve and/or New Years Day? :)

What are you planning to wear this New Year (Eve or Day)? Are you planning to go "head to toe" J.Crew or parts J.Crew?
