Sequins!

Sequins!

Sequins! by alexsinger featuring clutch handbags

Every year around the holidays, sequins emerge and seem fitting for the festivities.  But then, once the holidays are over, they seem a little out of place.  "Why did I think metallic spangles would be a good look on a cardigan, dress, etc.?"

But this year is different.  Sequins are EVERYWHERE, and they feel appropriate.  Maybe we need a little pick-me-up, a little something that feels celebratory... but for whatever reason, sequins are IT right now.  You can find just about anything covered in sequins-- from shoes and bags, to tank tops and dresses, to iPad and iPhone cases, makeup cases, nail polish... officially everywhere.

Sequins are a perfect way to add a little party to your day (even if it's a Tuesday).  There is a way to incorporate them into just about any occasion.  I'm even considering the above sequin pants, which I would never have done in the past.

So, why not try them out?  Who couldn't use a little extra sparkle?

  2. You gave me the Alice + Olivia dress idea! I know, I'm all about sequins. I might wear them head to toe if it wouldn't look too crazy. :)
