Daytime Sequins

Wednesday, October 10, 2012

H&M Gold Sequin Skirt 

A few years ago the rules were clear and simple: No white after labor day; Don't wear any combination of Black, Brown, or Navy; No sequins during the daytime, No mixing of patterns (i.e. polka dots and stripes); and so on. However, heading into this fall season it is starting to feel like the only rule is there are no rules.  In fact most of the so called "don'ts" of fashion's past, are becoming my "do's" of fashion's present. I frequently mix patterns, rock a black and brown combo, and we all know I'm a huge fan a daytime sequin. All that is to say, in today's post I am wearing sequins during the day...and I like it. SideSmile.

Sequins are too fun to only wear at night, so kudos for breaking them out during the day! I love how you pair them with a darker piece on top–perfect!

Couldn't agree more - and I have been doing much of the same things. I'm rocking white after labor day, pairing black and brown without hesitation and I'm also rocking sequins for daytime looks! This outfit is adorable!

I think in fashion shouldn't be any don'ts at all. You rock the sequin daytime look. So chic and still casual with the flats.

meghan said...

Thanks for coming to my blog too! I am right there with you on all the rule changes. I have a hard time remembering which rules are still in place and which ones have been thrown out the window. But the whole mixing patterns and daytime glitter, are two I'm sure glad are gone. I hope they stay away. This look is super cute!

Courtney Starr said...

How cute! Love the belt too

I'm such a fan of sequins any time, no matter what! I love your sunglasses and you're absolutely right about the new rule being that there are no rules. Clothing and shoe designs have reflected so much of what used to be "forbidden" in the art of dress.
