Certainly Sequins!

With the holidays just around the corner, we are going to start seeing sequins in our favorite stores. Although some of you might fear the flashy, don’t be scared to embrace this trend. Adding a little bit (or a lot!) of sparkle to your outfit can make it seem more festive or maybe add just a little flare to the ordinary. As you probably know by now, I encourage those of you who do not feel comfortable with new trends to try them in small doses. If you are not familiar with sequins, start with a little bit of sparkle in your outfit, and then add some pieces that are a little bolder. My suggestion for those trying to get started in this trend:

With just a hint of sparkle, this look allows you to show off your girly side :) Another area to embrace this trend is on your nails! Lately, everywhere I look, girls have been painting their nails one color and isolating one of them with another. Try adding glitter! The next step is to try glitter on all your nails. Don't feel like you have to stick to a silver or gold. Go green!

     

Once you feel comfortable with your sparkle, it is time to move on to sequins. I’ve been seeing this trend everywhere, from dresses to accessories to shoes and I love it. The best part is that you can find pieces in almost any color you want. If you are lucky enough to find a pattern or print in sequins, take advantage of it. A piece like this in your wardrobe can dress up a nice pair of jeans for any occasion.

Don’t forget the accessories they have out there! I have seen cute headbands and shoes, but the purses are my favorite. There is always something you can add to your outfit for a little bit of flair. Just be careful not to try to use too much sequins or sparkle in one outfit (you might turn out looking like a walking disco ball). All things are good in moderation- enjoy sequins!
