You Don't Dream in Sequins?

SEQUINS! SEQUINS!  EVERYONE WEARS SEQUINS FOR NYE! SEQUINS! SEQUINS!  RIGHT? RIGHT?!?

I love NYE because in my bedazzled brain it appears that the entire world shares my affinity for sequins. And, I can go bat shit crazy with sequins from head to toe and no one will laugh or judge. So, 'twas strange when I met my best friend Holly years ago and shockingly she did not share my feelings for all things bedazzled. After months of therapy, retail therapy that is, we came to the conclusion that we can still be friends. 

So, you don't dream in sequins like me? No prob. There are so many ways to spruce up your wardrobe for NYE without looking like you rolled around in a pool of sequins...Wait, is that possible?

WILD KINGDOM
Add an animal print in the form of a blazer, dress, or shoe. 
Metallic Animal Print Blazer-TopShop

BROCADE
A fun pant in metallic or any color adds a pop of WOW to any outfit. 
Gilded Jacquard Crops-Anthropologie

FEATHERS
Sequins close relative but not as flashy. Throw one in your hair or add to a dress. Feathers=Fun
Patterned Silk and Ostrich Dress-Matthew Williamson

TIGHTS
Keep it under wraps with a fun and festive pair of tights.

Update: Just received this text from Holly. "You'd be proud to know that I bought a "festive" sequined shirt from J.Crew. I secretly love it. " Disregard everything I just posted.

  1. It's so true! When I think of NYE, I picture everyone wearing sequins, including myself. I take it you'll be wearing sequins tomorrow night??

    BTW, love those gold Anthro pants.

  2. Ok, ok, I was slow to jump on the sequin bandwagon. But it truly was Cristina's love of everything (and I mean even the most obscure thing) bedazzled that made me change my ways. Her style is contagious!
