The Guide to Wearing Sequins | Style options for everyone

For some people hearing the word sequin sparks fear. They are reminded of the horrible and tacky outfits of the eighties that still linger in hidden family photo albums! You remember those? The same basic deal as the crazy Christmas sweat shirts with the built in turtle neck and cat with the Santa hat!

Today's sequin trend is much easier to style and anyone can find something they like! I have created a few different looks using a sequin piece for each! I found the most amazing sequin skirt on pinterest and am secretly waiting for a reason to go buy it! I love how easy it is to dress it up or style it in a more casual look.

This first look is similar to the cute outfit I found on pinterest. I love the use of the plain white knotted tee with the sequin maxi skirt!

This next look is using sequin shorts for a fun date outfit or great for an evening out!


sequin 2



This next look is a business fun look! I love the knee length business style skirt paired with fun pops of pink!

sequin 3

This is a very simple and more casual look adding the pop of sequins on the top. This style can easily be worn with jeans, slacks, or even a skirt.

If you still aren't ready to dive into the sequin trend you can still find some simpler choices below. With these you can add a tiny pop of sparkle without going overboard!

Which one of these do you hope to try? I think I have a few different options on my list! Love and hugs as always!

Coral and Denim : Simple Summer Look

On a recent shopping trip I picked up a cute corral dress similar to the one pictured. I already had a denim vest so the combo was a no brainer! I put this similar look together and paired it with some cute accessories for a simple and fun summer look! I really love this coral color right now!

Summer Shorts

This summer I am breaking away from my current and past short wardrobe and trying something new. My closet and dresser is crammed full of the same basic denim or cutoff style shorts. There are a few pair of colored shorts here and there, but again it is the same basic button and zipper style. Don't get me wrong, your basic denim style shorts will always be a staple. They will never go out of style, but I seriously need something new!

I have seen tons of adorable shorts while I've been out and about .  I really like the new styles, cuts, patterns, and details! This season you will definitely be seeing more variety than just your basic denim or khaki styles. I did some shopping recently and picked up a few pair! Here are a few more I found online that are definitely summer worthy! Which pair is your favorite?

Schools Out For Summer

Today was officially the last day of school before Summer break. Both of my boys are beyond excited! This Summer is going to be quite entertaining!

Last night my oldest had his 6th grade graduation. I can't believe he will be in 7th grade next year! He has grown so fast! My youngest had his 2nd grade graduation today. Time goes by so fast!

Here are a few pictures of their last days as 6th and 2nd graders.

We don't normally get visits from the ice cream truck, but today we had a surprise! With the Charleston heat the kids were happy!
