ahhh, Pinterest. It's like a beautiful magazine that never ends (and has no ads!) Thanks to our perusing of PInterest this morning we were totally inspired by some photos we saw of various sparkly looks. We've always wondered why sparkle tanks and tops seem to disappear after the holidays because, done correctly, sparkles add the perfect extra kick to any look, all year long.
It's easy to rock the sparkle at night, no matter what your age. Old ladies and young have been working the sequined cocktail dress since the turn of the century, after all! (Think Downton Abbey) But with a little thought, you can also work a little (or a lot) of sparkle into your day looks, too!
One of my favorite ways to wear sparkle during the day is to dress it down....wear a layer of sparkling necklaces with a slouchy white tee and denim blazer for example.
Or, I have a sleek silver tank I love to wear under a black blazer, again with jeans...combining denim and silver sparkle is a very cool combo for anyone to wear!
I also have a gun-metal silver belt that I like to wear with white collared shirts-- it's a subtle shine, and a surprise whenever I move.
Of course, if you're young and fabulous you can go for sparkle drama during the day...a sparkle skirt, or jacket, or shrug!
After the holidays is a great time to get your sparkle on, I say. The gloom and grey of late winter and early spring is depressing enough without a ban on sequins. So light up your life a little, try a little sparkle and see what happens! xoxo
