It’s almost New Year’s Eve. Usually, if you’re going out that night, you think sparkly dress, bare legs, and heels. This year, seeing as we’re beginning a new decade, I propose something a bit different yet still appropriately festive AND comfortable. Definitely cannot forget comfort on a night when you’ll likely be imbibing too many alcoholic substances and be in close quarters with loads of equally inebriated strangers. Of course, if you’re into the meat market scene this most likely won’t appeal!

But this outfit is something I’d love to wear on such a night as New Year’s Eve with the pants rolled a bit, a tank for those overheated interiors, and a lighter weight maxi coat for when you have to brave the cold in between stops.
I’ve got an early vet appointment tomorrow, so it’s unlikely I’ll be able to post, but I want to wish all of you who read Pour Porter a happy 2010 with best wishes for a very good upcoming year! Thanks for reading!

Like parent company yoox.com, the corner, stocks an impressive selection of high end designers like Hussein Chalayan, Marni, A.F. Vandevorst, Damir Doma, Viktor&Rolf, and Martin Margiela. Where yoox sells past season items at discount prices, the corner sells current season pieces unfortunately at designer prices, and I suspect this site is pretty new since I couldn’t find any sale items, but they ship worldwide and you just have to change the delivery country to see the correct currency
