Lessons in Fashion: Sequins Are NOT Just for Going Out!

Lessons in Fashion:

a sporadic series where I share little tips with you that help make my wardrobe stretch.   

Today's Lesson: 

Sequins are not just for going out!

When I purchased this sequin top at a thrift shop, I honestly had no idea how much I would love it.  I just bought it because it was cute, cheap, and I didn't have anything like it.  When I chose it as one of my pieces in the Summer Remix Challenge, I had to be creative.  Today I'm going to share three ways I styled my sequin top, though there are many more ways.

During the remix, I was really stretched. One day I felt like I'd pretty much exhausted all my options, and then I came up with this!  Simple, pretty, yet comfy enough to go hang out with some mommy friends and our kiddos.  My flip flops have a metallic strap, which I think goes well.

This is a work appropriate look in my opinion, or it could easily be something to wear out. I went pretty basic on the pants and blazer so the sequin top was the star of the show.  My metallic wedges aren't a match for the color of the top, but I feel that they still work.

I would consider this a date night outfit.  I paired the top with my favorite skirt and the same wedges.  I added a couple simple bangles.  One thing that I really realize about this top is that accessories can kind of take a back seat when I wear it.  

This sequin top is from Loft, though I found it at Goodwill.  Here are a few options that are currently for sale:

Forever 21      Nordstrom       Kohls      J Crew Factory 

Also, don't be afraid to search thrift sites like Thred Up for sequins!

Do you have a sequin top? If so, how do you style it? I'd love to see!
