All that Shimmers

December 9th, 2010

I love the idea of mixing sequins with neutral basics (as seen here and here) and these pieces all fit the bill.  A slouchy top becomes glamorous in shimmery gold, and when paired with boyfriend jeans (my favorites are these and these), it’s an unexpected combination.  Regardless of the fact that we’re in the middle of holiday party season (these are my top dress picks), a little added sparkle is a fun pick-me-up any time of year.

1. Topshop Black Embellished Gem Peter Pan Collar Tunic $100
2. Vince Sequined Crepe T-shirt $295
3. Forever 21 Jeweled Clutch $26
4. Topshop Pleated Black Chiffon Sequin Hotpant Skirt $110
5. dELiAs Mariah Sequin Tee $24.50
6. Alice + Olivia Sequin-embellished Silk-blend Top $160
7. Tibi Sequin Shorts $285
8. Topshop Velvet Diamante Strapless Crop Corset Top $65
9. Arden B. Sequin Tube Dress $71.20
10. Senso Wilma $159.95
11. Forever 21 Oversized Flower Necklace $12.80
