That’s right, when December strikes there are no rules for sparkle and shine- anytime! I don’t know who said that, or if it’s even a thing, but I’m going with it!
Can anything be better than feeling like you’re celebrating and glowing all day long? That’s what sparkle does for me- even when wearing black. Give yourself permission to feel the joy, not only for spiffing up to go out on the town; do it for everyday, on a casual day. Instant mood booster- I guarantee.
Here I am starting off the week with somewhat of a festive look due to this amazing brocade blazer that’s got the ultimate blue shine in the fabric itself. Loving it with this multi-lame-yarn top; a pair of velvet pants; and brocade velvet boots. Wanted to show you that you can achieve sparkle even if only with dark colours:
Here’s another simple way to wear your sparkles on the daily; get yourself a dark sparkly top (black or navy is great for this)- and wear it with velvet yoga pants and some heels. Great for the office, or on the go- in my case, teaching!
And if black is your go-to-mantra colour? Or like in my case, a must-wear uniform? Spiff it up with some bling-y top or pants. I wore sequin pants with a black turtleneck and the look was never understated, but certainly sublime (even with a mask ughh!).
More festive-casual looks coming your way next week…or something that gives me that #dopaminestyling feeling!
