Surprise Sparkle


We've talked before about how to wear sequins during the day. The key is pairing the sparkle with something utilitarian and absolutely casual - like denim or chambray - or both! A dressy sequin top looks infinitely more laid back tossed on over a chambray shirt and blue jeans. I like to pop on a blazer to create an additional layer that mutes the sequins. Chunky boots instead of heels also help edge this outfit from dressy to dressed-down; I think a pair of Converse would also do the job! 

Do you wear sequins during the day? How to you keep them casual?

  8. Ooooooh sequins and chambray is a pretty combo! I actually don't own anything with sequins, which is a shame.

    Are you going to the blogger holiday mixer this weekend?
