If you get my monthly newsletter, you know I bought this dress and was thinking of wearing it with a leather jacket for New Year's Eve. I found a sequined dress with sleeves (better for parties that spill out to the back deck) on Poshmark for a fantastic price, and have a sweater that is a possible contender so my actual look for December 31st is still up in the air. But there is something pretty fantastic about being a living disco ball!
I must say, most photo shoots with Karl are pretty fun. He always knows how to make me laugh… and he also knows how to push my buttons! I wasn't going to share this last photo on the blog; while I shared it on Instagram yesterday as a sneak peek of today's post I thought it may be inappropriate for posting in Wardrobe Oxygen. But then I thought… screw it. This is me, middle fingers and all! My mother raised me well, and I know not to speak or make such hand gestures in front of Emerson, but sometimes life calls for a swear word… or two middle fingers served with a big smile!

I’ve been reading your blog forever, since before you were pregnant. I never comment, sorryyyyy, but have to say I just LOVE that cheeky pic of you. You are glowing in it! Good to see some Ali spunk back again.
That dress is fabulous! 🙂
This is a great option for NYE! Love adding a bit of edge with the leather jacket.
Also enjoyed the outtake on Instagram 😉
The cut of this dress is SO GOOD on you!! You should definitely wear it for NYE 🙂
I love that dress, especially with leather. A fun look with attitude!

So much sparkle and fun! CB2 had a disco snowman and gnome this year, which made me laugh, though not quite as much as that last picture. 🙂
Yay! I’m glad you posted the last photo because I think it’s so fun! Also, how I feel about the cold/ice storm we just got overnight. You look fab!
