Shiny Objects are Closer Than They Appear

When Lauren Santo Domingo made the claim sequins and feathers were her two favorite food groups, I knew exactly what she meant. Unlike many girls who are more comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt, I feel much better in sequins and a flounce. Why would you want to dress down, when you can dress up? Have we stored our holiday looks in the back of our drawers already? I know my sequins still hang brightly in my closet, ready to be styled appropriately and worn on the town. Plus, when the weather hits a record 60 degrees in the middle of January, anything goes!

Happy hour was about to get a little happier when I chose to layer my sequin cardigan over a surfer tee and straight leg jeans. I was so pumped to pull this out since I haven't had the opportunity to wear it since the holidays. Plus I added my pearl drop earrings for a glamour pop as opposed to my normal studs. I love this look and I love the balance of the overall ensemble between dress-up and dress-down. You should never be afraid of shiny objects in the day. If you style the sequins accordingly you can really get away with it and I guarantee you will receive compliments for your risk-taking look. I proudly wore this to drinks with friends after work....without a coat!
