Putting on the Glitz

in How To Wear...

‘Tis the season for Glitz and Glamour! It’s getting darker in the evenings, the Christmas Party invites are starting to trickle in and we all need a little bit of sparkle in our lives, traditionally reserved for evening wear I see no reason why we can’t have a little bit of sparkle in our lives every day.

I’m just loving little touches of glitz. On Friday I wore a sequined skirt and Saturday night a diamante embellished t shirt. Why right at this moment I am wearing this She Ra T Shirt with some lovely gold shiny bits on it. That’s my glitz and glamour for a rainy Tuesday afternoon.

So here’s how to wear sparkle and sequins for work, rest and play.

For work I think I’d have been laughed out of the office if I’d turned up covered in sequins, maybe you work somewhere a little funkier, but as long as your not a lawyer or some other deeply conservative profession you should be able to get away with a sequin sprinkled jumper or a spangly hair band.

WORK

Team your sequin jumper (£45 Miss Selfridge) with a sensible pencil skirt and these vintage low heeled court shoes (£30 Candy Says) for a look that’s all business but cheerily seasonal.

REST

For kicking about at the weekends, popping to the shops, or just lounging on the sofa, you want comfy, even if you still want the sparkle. This Tunic (£14.99 Retro Chick) has a lurex trim on the neck and sleeves and is perfect for lounging around on chilly winter days. Team it with cosy grey ribbed tights and some chunky jewellery, if you’re leaving the house you’ll probably want to add some boots and a slouchy hold everything bag as well (both from Faith)

PLAY


Night time is the easy one. Sequins and sparkle are everywhere at the moment, in heavily embellished dresses and tops. Toughen up this sequined halter top (£9.99 at Retro Chick) with skinny leg tuxedo trousers, studded heels and this studded clutch (all from Topshop)
