Daytime Sparkle

by Jen on Monday, October 3, 2011



Sequins for day is not a new concept, but I've hardly done it as it seems to be more suitable juxtaposed with tomboyish, rugged pieces rather than most of the things in my closet. However, an overcast fall day proved to be the perfect time to use this skirt (previously worn here) for my own AM sequin look. Although I received a bit more attention from wearing it than I had anticipated (namely from several older ladies who commented on how "fancy" it looked), it proved to add a much needed burst of fun into a chilly day. Happy Monday!









Wearing: MOON sequin skirt, Halston Heritage cardigan, Joe Fresh tights, Zara heels (similar), unbranded sweater and bag, Tom Ford sunnies, Thomas Sabo & BCBG bracelets

Aw, it's so cute with the gray and the cozy knits! I love it! And I also love that older ladies called you fancy! So cute. Hope you had a lovely weekend, m'dear! xo.

This is such a great outfit. I'm drawn to sparkly things and this skirt is amazing. I love how you dressed it down with the blacks and grays.

You look sooo pretty! I just love sequins but I don't have many clothes with it because sometimes it seems so 'party-ish', you know what I mean? But you can wear everything, everything looks fine! (: Haha, really 'fancy'! ;D
Your bag is so nice!

I love all of the sequins pieces popping up everywhere, and wearing them for day is a definite YES in my book-you look cozy and chic, perfect for fall!

You look so good, Jen! I think the gold sparkles add that perfect touch to the outfit and those pictures where you're sitting down are so nice :)

I love how you've made sequins gloomy Monday-appropriate with lots of neutral tones and cozy textures.

Hope you have a great week, Jen!

I am usually not a fan of sequins and often don't wear them on principle, but you really made them work here! I think what did it for me is that you paired the skirt with darker, neutral basics - I think the look is very pretty!

If you ask me, there is no time of day when sequins are not appropriate... And I think you've proven that beautifully with this look :)

I love this look! I think it should be mandatory for everyone to wear sequins during the day. Especially when the weather is gloomy out. Can you imagine how much better and brighter the city would look?

Love how you layered a turtleneck under the cardigan. Looks warm and cozy!
