DAYTIME SPARKLE

To me daytime means simplicity, and that rarely includes anything that sparkles. However, quite recently I found myself invited to an afternoon soiree to celebrate a friend’s 70th birthday and I needed to wear something dressy, but with a relaxed vibe to it. I’ve been noticing sequined pieces mixed and matched in a variety of different ways this season, and thought this would be a great opportunity to test drive that trend. A few weeks ago I explored sequined styling for an evening out on the strip, but that look felt a bit too much for an afternoon affair. So I opted for a more informal style, pairing slouchy sequined trousers with a sheer blouse, both from H&M. Daytime sparkles are a great way to inject a bit of fun into an outfit. It’s not my new every day look, but I definitely enjoyed the extra dose of glam for an afternoon.

      Sequins are not a staple in my wardrobe but It was a fun outfit for the occasion.

    This is a great idea for when you want to be dressed up a bit, but still relaxed. I would never have thought of it!

      Neither would I have thought of it Fran but I saw a couple of mannequins dressed in sequin pants with casual tops at Saks Fifth this season and they looked great. Saks usually gets it right so I gave it a try.

    Unbelievable that both pieces are by H&M. Is it the shoes? The bag? The earrings? Or just classy you which brings these pieces to a higher ranking? Lovely.

      Such a lovely compliment Greetje. You always say the say the nicest things and make my day. The shoes and bag are indeed investment pieces and I love mixing it up with bargain finds.
