As a new member of the Bloggers Do It Better I accepted my first challenge of the year: Sequins!
Surely I could not pass up another opportunity to wear something sparkly even if the holidays are over.
We are always receptive to any and all types of glistening objects, but we tend to pay extra attention to them towards the end of the year. But why does it have to end after all the shiny wrapping paper, twinkling holiday lights, and count-downs are gone? I think we should continue this atmospheric glitz and incorporate some equally glittery items into our winter wardrobes.
I love the simplicity of this sequins tank dress. It is quite short even for my small frame so I paired it with some textured leggings. To keep it more casual I opt for a cozy knit sweater rather than the typical blazer for a more casual look.
Personally, I love a fully sequined look. There’s something very beautiful about a piece dotted with sparklers that catch the light and add an element of surprise to your wardrobe.

I think that sequin top looks great paired with the more casual sweater--they really balance each other out. What a fun look!
ReplyDeleteLove the sequin!
ReplyDeleteI love that you combined sequins with a very comfy sweater!
ReplyDeleteHi Thu! I totally agree why put the sequins away just because the holidays are over. I got a sequin dress from the thrift store & I wear it year round. Everytime I do people love it :) If thats not enough reason to keep wearing sequins I don't know what is
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic week!

lovely sequined dress :D
ReplyDeleteI didn't really get on board with the whole sparkly trend this winter and I'm still trying to catch up. I don't really care that it's not the holidays anymore either.
ReplyDeleteyour sequined top is fabulous! It's a great statement piece, nice color and not overly sequined. Looks great with a simple cardi and leather pants, chic as always!

I love the combo of sequins + cozy knit. The knit cardi just the right touch of casual. You look gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love it, Thu! I especially like it paired with the textured leggings!
ReplyDeleteYou look so pretty!
ReplyDeletethe sequin dress looks so pretty on you, you look like you're ready for a night out!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the take on the challenge Thu! You look fantastic as always and you are right, sequins and sparkle is not limited to just the holidays. I went to the BR sale last week and bought a dress with a jeweled neckline wondering if it was too holiday-ish... I don't think so anymore! It's no different than wearing a black dress w/a statement necklace right??
ReplyDeleteReally gorgeous outfit!
ReplyDeleteSexy and beautiful!
