Before we jump in, let’s take a moment to pause. It’s been a helluva year and it means a lot that you’re here. This is my favorite place on the internet, partially because we can gather and say orgasm without getting flagged. (Hey thanks, Substack.)
Sex and Style started this April. The first time I said these words aloud was at a retreat in Costa Rica with a hundred other sex witches. During our closing ceremonies, we held hands in a circle, each sharing what our download was from our magical time together. I said, “Sex and style” and the room erupted in cheers and cat calls. It struck a chord.
I love this intersection, where personal style and self expression goes deeper.
It’s a space where we learn to look as good as we feel, and feel as good as we look.
What you wearing New Year’s Eve?
I used to think of my NYE outfit as something to really plan and curate. These days the aesthetic is more minimalistic, so let’s make it look effortless, shall we?
Think of your last outfit of the year as a rain dance for what you want to call in for 2024. Here’s a few ideas to inspire you!
Bustier means business.
The rule of thumb when you wear full palazzo pants is to have something fitted up top to create balance.
A boxy top with boxy pants may be a look you like, so don’t let me stop you!
Metallic pants by Sangria (Similar by Cider | Similar by Skies Are Blue)
T-strap black stilettos by Sam Edelman (Similar by FSJ Shoes | Similar by Luxe Dress)
Glitter glamazon.
Part animal print, part sequin, this look is great for a dinner or house party.
Sequin high waisted pencil skirt by Banana Republic (Similar by Cider | Similar by Skies Are Blue)
Faux fur top thrifted
Statement necklace from Nordstrom
A touch of sparkle.
I’ve been looking for a mesh dress for a while now after styling these great ones at Universal Standard. When I stumbled on this holiday dress from Target, it was love at first sight. (For the record, you can find love in the dressing room.)
Rose gold cropped metallic jacket by Exquise (This piece is one of a kind, so this is as close to similar as I could find!)
T-strap black stilettos by Sam Edelman (Similar by FSJ Shoes | Similar by Luxe Dress)
See the dress without the jacket!
Namaste in bed.
Who says you have to go out on NYE, let alone socialize? If you’re planning to be in bed by 9, skip the sequins and go straight for your pajamas.
What are you wearing on New Year’s Eve? I would love to see! Comment below with a link to your last look of the year!
This year, the last day of the year falls on 12.31.23 — this may seem obvious. The last day of the year is always 12.31. But if you look again, you’ll see the set of repeating numbers: 123123.
From an astrological perspective, Mercury in Retrograde is coming to a close, which means that our intention setting has extra potency right now.
You might not be into New Year’s resolutions — they’re not for everyone. Though would you set an intention? Envision what you want to call in for 2024. The profound thing about manifestation is how when we can tap into the frequency of our desired goal, after placing the order with the universe, we can magnetize it that much faster.
As human beings we have vivid imaginations and we spend much of this imagination thinking about all the things that could go wrong, or ruminating on the past. Let’s switch things up and start using that big beautiful brain of yours to imagine the future when everything goes right.
