Sparkle from the Outside

You've probably noticed that sequins and shine are a big trend right now, and they've presented the opportunity to change up a look and be a little daring. However, some of us might not be at the confidence level that we think it takes to pull off sequins without being a fashion faux-pas. Even if your fashion "don't" doesn't end up on the Worst Dressed List in US Weekly, it is still never something to aspire to.

The great thing is, anyone and everyone can pull off sequins. It is just a matter of choosing the right pieces and balancing them with the rest of the outfit. The trick is to focus on one "wow" piece, and work the rest of the outfit around it. For example, choose a sequin beret like this one from Forever 21 and pair it with a simple white v-neck tee and dark skinny jeans. Top it off with black, brown, or tan heels for the perfect casual night out.




If it's your legs that are craving some attention after being covered up for the winter, try out a pair of sequin leggings like these black ones from Mango. I know they may seem a little bold for some of you, but again, styled the right way they can be your new best friend. Since they are a statement piece, make sure to keep the rest of the outfit quite simple. A longer black tee and simple heels with a long gold necklace and some berry lips are all you need to Rock this look.



Are you getting curious yet? Go ahead, surprise yourself! Anything sequins means automatic fun, so feel free to try what works for you. Shorts, vests, blazers, bandeau tops... you can find just about everything with sequin detail nowadays. Just remember to let whatever you choose standout and tone down the rest.

Dress on!
