It's December, time for mince pies, merriment and most importantly...the wearing of sequins. The magazines and shops are full to bursting with all things glittery and glam, the sort of stuff that for the other eleven months of the year would look OTT and dare I say it, tacky-but this Christmas feels right (well to me anyway).
This weekend I had friends for supper and a dinner out with the girls, so, of course out came the sequins! They were pretty casual affairs and I really had to dilute the sparkles a tad, so as not to terrify the natives. I dressed them down with skinny jeans on one night and a slouchy black jumper on the other. It's amazing how a little shimmer can get you right into the Christmas spirit!

Wow - you really do like your heels very high. How tall are you if you don't mind me asking?
ReplyDeleteI like the jumper and skirt combo - that's my kind of dressed down dressed up. Nice, easy and warm. Good call.
Lovely to find your blog! I'm looking forward to following your 50 in 50 project. Thanks for your comment on my blog too. IN LOVE with those boots - stunning and the sequins are fab too, especially the t-shirt…looks WAY nicer on you than in the website photograph. Avril x
