I'll be honest, I haven't worn velvet since my 4th grade orchestra concert but when I saw this Topshop Bardot top, I had to have it.  The blue jewel tone is absolutely gorgeous and it's perfect for the holidays!  

When I was deciding what to wear with this top, I thought it would be fun to pair it with a pencil skirt so that you can incorporate something from your work wardrobe!  Another option would be to pair this top with a black plaid pixie pant or wide leg wool pant.  

Although this off the shoulder top might not be appropriate for the office, all you have to do is change tops after work and you're party ready!  The Topshop version might be sold out by the time you read this post, but I have linked similar versions below (and a cozy sweater variation too)!

Thank you so much for stopping by Me & Mr. Jones, have a wonderful weekend!

'Tis the season for sequins and sparkle!  This year we will be spending NYE in California and I am SO EXCITED!  Just the thought of not having to plan for frigid weather while wearing a cute outfit is a major plus.  If you are going to be somewhere that is really cold to ring in the new year, no worries!  You can always add a chic faux fur jacket, faux fur stole, or a nice blanket scarf to your look to stay warm.  

I've worn sequin body-con sequin dresses in the past, but this year I'm really digging the hemline of this Dress the Population frock!  It's funny because I actually avoided mid-length hems up until now,  thinking that they wouldn't flatter someone who is shorter (5'5" on a good day).  I have to say, I was absolutely wrong and I love the way this dress fits!  NYE is definitely the perfect occasion to rock a body-con dress and this long sleeve version would be great for colder weather!  

For my hair, I wanted to try something different and create an old Hollywood look.  To do this, I used the same 1" curling iron as always and wrapped my hair around the curling iron toward the front of my face (usually I wrap it away from my face).  After you curl all of your hair, gently brush through the curls to blend them together and make sure to finish it with a good hairspray!  There is a great tutorial for this look here!  

I hope your week is off to a great start, thanks for stopping by!
