SEQUINS + PRINT FOR SPRING

Pulling off daytime sequins during the winter is pretty easy - it's so dark and gloomy it practically feels like night, and our days need that little sparkle to perk us up! Sequins in the sunshine, however? Not as effortless! So I've been poking around for a bit of inspiration, and found some from a favorite of mine, Miss Kelly over at the Glamourai...

How fabulous are the colors she paired here?? The trick is to keep the sequins light and casual in every possible way. The pop of neon in that jacket is pure perfection! But my favorite is that there's a pattern here - it's not a heavy solid layer of sparkle. Naturally, I'm now obsessed with finding a fun little patterned sequined piece like this for spring... something like this:
NAVEN
The 'Barbie' dress from Naven (love!), but with a price tag I can actually afford. I think it's time to do some vintage shopping!

    Ah, my favorite little H&M find is a small, black, short sleeved cotton sweater, with a big black, sequined heart, front and center.

    Cheers!

    That barbie dress is great! I tend to be a little pattern shy when it's multicolored, but this dress makes me want to give it a try!

    Hope you have a wonderful Monday!

    Both great looks. Completely different but equally inspiring. I have never been brave enough to wear sequins during the day. It's probably time to try!

    i love kelly's outfit! the pattern on the jacket is gorgeous. and i think sequins are fun for daytime looks- i like pairing a sequin skirt w/ a tee shirt or baggy sweater. there's nothing like sparkles to brighten up one's day!
