Sequin Pants

Sequin Pants





I have always admired a woman who could rock sequin pants like here and here. There is just something so whimsy and fun about them. But, alas it is all in the styling. I am waiting for my pair to arrive in the mail but am anxiously wondering if I will love them or hate them. Or even worse - will I love them but find them too young for me - something that happens more and more these days since I am not aging in reverse! I mean are sequin pants something a Mom can wear at holiday time or am I totally nuts?

I will not be rocking any sequins tonight as I am staying home with the family which is the best place to be!

What are your thoughts on sequin pants? Yes or No, No, No?

How would you style them? If you have worn them, I would love to hear where and how!

Happy New Year! Hope it is a fun and safe one for all tonight!

Holiday Time


Coat: Banana republic (old) // Shirt: J. Crew (old) similar here // Skirt: J. Crew (last year), (this year's here) // BowTie: my hubbie's // Shoes: h&m
Well, it is holiday time and if you have ever read this blog before, you know I love the holidays so I can wear my sequins and plaid together. My little guy loves calling the sequins "treasure". I had a great holiday with my family and am truly grateful for all the blessings in my life.

I finally got a new camera so hopefully the quality of these blog pictures will improve soon! I am also hoping to re design the blog soon.

Another thing I love about this time of year is all the post Christmas sales. I love picking up some holiday wear for next year now at a great price. After all, to pay full price for items you only wear a few times a year just doesn't make sense. I may have picked up  these sequin pants up with a gift card (thanks Mom) I received for next year (or this year if they come before new year!). I know they say you can make sequins work for your everyday life, but I sure haven't figured out how. Maybe a sequined covered sweatshirt would work, but even then....

Do you wear sequins outside of party time? If you do, how?

Have a Happy New Year!

Fantasy Holiday

Fantasy Holiday




This is the time of year when we busy moms may actually get a chance or two to dress up. So, why not go all out with my favorite holiday combination of tartan and sequins. Whether it's your own holiday party, a work party, or new year's - this is your chance to do it up in some fantasy pieces. After all, you would look a little funny going out to the grocery store in sequins ( unless you live in L.A. or New York). And at these prices - these items are almost OK to wear only once a year. Although I would totally wear the tartan tee with a white turtleneck, blazer, and pumps for date night.

What are you excited to wear this holiday season?
