How To Wear Sequin Pants

Just in time for the holidays, or more specifically, New Years Eve - I have the 'how to' guide on the latest trend, Sequin Pants. 

1. Go Peplum

This look would be best for an evening out, whether going to a fancy wedding, or ringing the new year in - Stay with a neutral color - black or white seem to work with most sequin pants - pair with some simple heeled sandals and you are ready to go! 

2. Go Monochromatic

Sticking with a color in different variations is a safe way to play down the sequin pants look. Above you will see two casual outfits that stay in the gray color family.

3. Word Play

Graphic T's with words on them are a big trend right now. Using a casual t-shirt with text is another way to keep in trendy, yet casual. Go for a kitten heel to take it up a notch - or flats to have a more rocker-vibe. 

4. Be Cozy

Although I recommend staying away from any prints on the top - the 2nd photo above pulls off the look with a festive holiday feel. Be careful when choosing a print - do not pick one that is to big or too busy. Sweaters can make the look polished, or comfortable. If you have great legs, and oversized sweater may be a perfect selection, if more of a pear shape - Stick with a fitted, but longer sweater. 

5. Complimenting Color

Using the mauve pink with the navy is a risky combination that paid off! Play around with different soft tones that resembles neutrals to get a safe look without sacrificing color. Also, a fun way to add color is the go black or white on top - with a fun color in the shoe. Pantone color this year, seen above, is wine! 

5. Blazers

Blazers can dress up the sequins without looking losing your professionalism. Now, MAYBE you work for a company where this would be a totally awesome look for the holiday party...maybe not. Use your judgement on that one - but like me, I love a good blazer and pairing one with sequin pants is a classy/festive look for any occasion. 

6. Bustier Top 

This is my favorite look which I will use to inspire my New Years Eve 2015 look. A neutral bustier paired with a blazer or sweater and pumps is a simple, yet elegant look with the sequin pants. This is also good for pear shapes as the long sweater/blazer helps disguise wider hips.

Spring has Arrived! (finally...)

Spring is finally here!  

Below are some outfit inspirations to get all gussied up for a date with your favorite guy. Whether it be day or night - incorporating the spring trends in a classy, no-fuss way! 

Florals for Spring

As I am sure this is no surprise to anyone - Florals are big this spring. Not with just a dress or scarf - but bright, bold, and large florals are popping up all over the place - below are some ways to wear! 

My favorite addition to my closet will be the floral jacket - this one (above) is prefect for April showers

 

I love this outfit! I tried to find this jacket online, no luck! Similar versions can be found at sheinside.com or XXI 

Here is a feminine, smaller print that goes oh-so-nicely with this pale teal. 

Loving the edgy touch on the moto-jacket. 

Ok, so if this post is totally reminding you of your Grandmother's couch - I understand...try to have an open mind, after-all, especially in fashion - we know history tends to repeat itself.

The Horror!! 

Now back to prettier things.... 

Floral dresses are always big in spring and summer - I guess the difference this year is the brightness and boldness of the print. 

and if you are still weary of this look - go for a floral scarf - easy. 

...and if you are the more daring type - these babies are ah-mah-zing.

Hope you enjoyed! Let me know your thoughts.
