Sequins are quite...

...possibly the love of my life. When I see them in a store, its like a tractor-beam—it pulls me right in. I love sparkle of any kind, but sequins hold a special place in my heart. A common misconception about sequins is that they can only be worn at night. The truth is, there are only two situations where sequins would be considered inappropriate: a funeral and anytime you are appearing in court. All you have to do to wear your sequins during the day is to pair it with some decidedly “day” pieces. Wearing a sequined skirt? Team it with opaque tights, flats and a simple t-shirt-cardigan combo. A sequined top should be worn with jeans, and a cardigan or blazer. Heels can be worn as long as they are not shiny. And in all situations, keep jewelry minimal.
