WHY SEQUINS ALL THE TIME

 

Most likely, your Christmas party is coming up in a few weeks. Since it's the holiday season, you probably want to grab something fabulous and shiny.

There are sequins, metallics, trimmings, and beadings—all the holiday-y things that sparkle and shine. But the problem is that you won't be able to wear it again for a while.

I say, all the time! Throw caution to the wind and don't be afraid to add a little holiday flair to your everyday style. It makes more sense financially, of course. But it is also a good fashion lesson to learn how to dress down powerful pieces.

Don't let your party pieces frighten you. Putting on a lot of clothes is a great way to be in charge of your image and presentation. Power dressing is all about knowing what your best qualities are and using your clothes and other choices to show them off.

Here are some ways you can wear your outfit from the Christmas party to work. Because dressing like you're going to a disco every day is literally the most fun you can have in a Sequin Dress.

The White-Shirt Approach

This outfit isn't great for the bar, but it's surprisingly good for the office. The familiarity of a crisp white button-up shirt calms down the intensity of a bright skirt and won't freak you out. Goddiva's latest collection is all about party pieces, so bold and eye-catching pieces like this skirt are ready to go.

Sure, this outfit isn't very boho chic or laid-back. But it is a great way to add a lot of personality to what you wear to work. In terms of silhouette, it looks like any other day at the office. But adding the sequins makes it a whole different thing.

Dash Of Denim

Stonewashed and bright blue denim are clear signs of a casual look. And thank God that sneakers and jeans have made their way to the top of the fashion world. A good pair of denim jeans can tone down almost any VA VA voom party top. But be careful about the balance when you wear denim with sequins or other more dramatic materials. Fit is the key to making sure the two pieces don't look too different from each other. The more casual the colour of the jeans, the better they are for work. But for the structure, choose a fit you know works well for your body so that the sparkle can do all the talking.

Wear a jumper.

No one could say that a sloppy joe is anything that screams "overdressed." It's what every lazy woman wears. If you wear a sequined skirt with a sweater with a loose fit, you can wear your party piece well into the day. Heather grey and sparkly silver might look like they have nothing in common. But when put next to each other, they look great together and make an outfit that is almost all one colour.

Put on your boots

Switching out heels for flats isn't exactly a brilliant way to dress down an outfit. But there's something about a little black booty that gives the whole outfit a touch of laid-back rock and roll. If you have a fancy midi dress, you can turn it into a bohemian look with a pair of flat boots. Put on a cute little basket bag and don't do much to your hair or face. Suddenly, that dress you only wear once a year is one of the most-worn pieces in your closet.

Goddiva

Even though you bought your favourite sequin dress for a fun night out, you don't have to put it in the back of your closet when the night is over. This season, sequins can be worn on any day, so add a little sparkle to your everyday by wearing your favourite dress with chunky boots and an oversized blazer or cardigan for an edgy daytime look in Winter. Or, shine like a diamond in the summer by wearing flip-flops and a logo t-shirt over them. This is the perfect way to go from the beach to the bar. Whether you choose stunning designs from Danaya, royal looks from Revie London, or glittering gowns from Goddiva, it's your time to shine, girlfriend! Get glammed up and live the life of the rich and famous!
