It's impossible to think of the holidays without some sequins shimmering in the background of a memory or in day dreams of what's to come. Parties this time of year require dazzle and shimmer. I believe this is a way for us to warm our souls when it's so cold out. With the rough comes the shine, and that is why I love fashion so much. It's methodical behavior in how we wear our hearts on our sleeves, backs, hips, feet... however you want to shine in this dreary weather. Warm yourself up; when the weather outside is frightful, wear something delightful!
Are you seeking for just the right amount of 'win' for your holiday look?
As always; looks from the runway:
These average at about $500.00 a piece!
Each of these beauties are about $100.00-$300.00 (at bebe.com and Shopbop.com)
which is not terrible. But, how often are you wearing these items? Not to the office I hope, unless of course you work at Bebe or BCBG... you get the idea.
These pretties are perfect for gifting.
That is, if you have a larger wallet then I.
Kara Ross clutch at $650.00. I am almost in love, but feel like I could DIY better! The headband is $110.00 at shopbop.com. A headband for over a $100.00, enough said.The shoes are running all over your pocket book at $595.00
And here are some looks that are just right for the gift-givers pocket book:
Steve Madden on Sale for $99.98 click hereOk, these are dedicated to Esther, poor girl has been drooling all over them for months. In fact; if you have picked these up at any mall in Southern California, you might see small little Esther tears on them. They look great with jeans, tights, LBD's really they are just a great fall/winter booty, with just enough spice and everything nice, so... have you been naughty or...?
Forever 21 for $24.80 click hereThis is so cute, the back is plain black (no sequins). So, no worries on sitting and dancing your fanny off in this adorable cocktail dress. I can see this perfect under a classic black blazer for a holiday party (cuffs rolled up of course). Put with black tights and a chunky black heal and you are looking festive... Deck the halls with glitter, for all....
BCBG clutch for $88.00 at Zappos.com click hereI know you are thinking, "How fantastic, this bag is almost identical to the $650.00 one above!" Nothing says statement piece more that a great clutch, ANYTIME of the year. There was a darker option, but this color is more fun and can easily translate to spring. It's a wear with jeans, dressing up or just plain fun clutch... you know you want it!
ABS Sequin Leggings at Zappos.com for $75.00 click herePlease ignore the hideous shoes, you would think at Zappos they would know how to shoe match to promote sales... I know I am asking for too much. Anyways, I love this with a LBD, or oversized sweatshirt tee, and maybe I even like the idea of this with a flannel. If you are young, skinny and daring to bare your middle, go with an oversized cropped long sleeve. Wear with closed toe shoes please...
Amazon.com for a four pack at 18.99
click hereThese might not be as overly dramatic as the one from shopbop, but with a LBD this is sure to spice up your NYE attire. Give the rest to your friends!
Steve Madden on Amazon.com for $49.99 click hereWith these, you can easily use in the spring and even summer for a fun boat shoe on the lake. I also suggest having some craft time fun to make them look more like the Miu Miu. You can easily glue on additional shmoots at the toe.
Seek and you shall Win!
