Sequins at work

Such good timing!  I started this blog yesterday, and then saw that one of my fave bloggers (PrettyShinySparkly) posted a new challenge in her Bloggers Do it Better series on sequins!  How fortuitous!  I didn't end up doing anything grand for New Year's Eve, so I didn't have a chance to flash some shine then.  Instead, I'm rocking this layered sequined look for work.  Eeeeeee!  I've never tried something so daring at work before, but I think the monochromatic layering helps tone it down.  Plus, sequins should be acceptable for casual Friday, no?



Gray Blazer - Gap
Gray button down - J Crew
Navy Sequined Tank - J Crew Factory
Gray Bell Skirt - J Crew Factory
Gray Tights - Target
Black Pumps - Nine West


And just for good measure, here is one of my current favorite sequined accessories - my Big Buddha Chloe bag!  Even though I wasn't sure of it initially, I carry it almost every day now and I get so many compliments on it - I can't believe I ever thought twice about getting it.


I'm loving these sparkly looks this Friday!  Happy (and shiny) weekend!
