Moving into 2021 is exciting. Although I know we are clearly not finished with this way of life, I am excited by the prospect that at some point in 2021 we will be vaccinated (thank you scientists and medical specialists for working around the clock on this for the almost a year), and hopefully get to see family that don't live nearby. Also, I want real hugs from friends and family. Hahaha. I want to visit my grandmothers without a mask and I want to smile at strangers at a grocery store. Its the small things I've learned to appreciate to be honest. BLOGGER friends the other thing I would like to do is collaborate and connect with you more with other in 2021, so if you are interested in a coloration or have a fun idea shoot me a message here or through IG.
Speaking of collaborations todays post is brought to you by Ada from Elegance and Mommyhood, make sure to check out her bio and outfit link below. We decided to feature a fairly casual NYE look because likely most of us are staying at home, it's still fun to make it a special evening. In Bosnia, where I grew up until I was 10, NY is a big celebration and actually when we received our gifts as children. For me it represents a fresh start and also a time to reflect on the previous year. I love both of these things so I love celebrating on New Years Eve is important to me. It will be just our little family and our plan is to make appetizers, play games as a family, maybe have a dance party, take out special treats and enjoy some specialty drinks for adults and children alike. I have been saving this bottle from a trip Mr. and I took a couple of years ago, and we plan on cracking it open this year. It seems like the perfect time to reflect and acknowledge that we live a really good life, as well as how excited we are at the prospect of 2021. I also, always keep my tree up until after the New Year as I find it more festive and I equally love Christmas and NY for their own perspective reasons.
What about you, tree up or cleaned up before New Years?
My outfit today is a cozy sweater dress from my closet, you can see it styled here with some OTKB and a faux fur coat. You can never go wrong with a sweater dress in winter and I'll be featuring another one in an upcoming post. I love this one because in it's threads it has sparkle woven into it somehow. It's casual but also put together and most importantly its cozy. I added a simple initial rose gold necklace and a pair of matching sparkle balls that I received from Santa this year, and it wouldn't be NYE without tacky dollar store party hats.
Whatever you are doing, or not, I am wishing you a healthy, prosperous and joyful 2021.

Hi, I am Ada - a Midwest blogger from the Metropolitan Detroit area - and I have been blogging at Elegance and Mommyhood for 8 and a half years since I was pregnant with my beautiful daughter Vivian. She has grown with this blog and through all the changes I have had between different jobs, living in two continents (first in Europe and now back in USA), marriage, divorce and with my evolving and sometimes-changing style, too. That's why I named my blog "Elegance and Mommyhood because it's about good style that is affordable and looking put-together on a budget, as I raise a strong daughter as a single mother and dabble with everything that is involved with being a mom. In the last couple of years I started posting poetry on the blog too - since I have been writing poems from my tween years - and it is something I love and enjoy. So you will find some of my poetry and a dose of prose in the blog, as well. You can also follow me on Instagram and you can find me on Facebok. I would love for you to follow me and to connect together. Thank you Bojana and Bojana's readers for having me today. Wishing you all a beautiful, blessed, healthy and happy New Year 2021! Let's leave behind a year that was tough and sad on so many levels, as we cheer and pray with hope for a new year of new beginnings and lots of joy! Welcome by.
