Studies in Sequins

August 19th, 2010

Zara Top, Moscot Glasses, Vintage Necklace, J.Crew Skirt, Gifted Coach Boots, Switch Wooden Ring

As I mentioned just days ago, I love that sequins are no longer reserved simply for holiday parties and elegant soirees.  When paired with rugged boots and casual basics, they’re a welcomed (and festive) change and I can’t get enough of the combination.   I picked up this vintage necklace at the flea market this past weekend and while I love its shape and the gentle clinking sound it makes when I move, my neck is seriously irritated.  I think it’s my body’s way of discouraging me from wearing jewelry that costs less than $8.

    I have a friend who is the queen of sequins, yet she never looks too dramatic. The last picture is my favourite! And all those books in the background… can I read one?

    I am thoroughly OBSESSED with this outfit. I’ve been admiring it since you posted this blog entry, and finally broke down and went to J Crew for the skirt yesterday but there weren’t any left! Simply devastating!

    Oh well! At least the world gets to see it on your blog.

    I look forward to your posts every day, by the way! Thanks for bringing some fashion, food and decorating fun into my life! :)
