Bring Out the Glitter...

Why settle for a boring black tulle or classic satin dress this season? Stand out among the crowd with something glittering. Be it sequins or sparkles, you can wear them in many ways. If you're a little color shy, go for large, matte, pale sequins and wear them in a classic way (a lά Lauren Conrad). If you're a little bolder with your clothing choices, try small grains of glitter in bright colors, like violet, fuschia, or crimson. Or meet in the middle and try glitter in natural shades (taupe, peach, and copper.) Any way you wear them, they'll give you inst-confidence and make you shine from the inside out- literally on the outside. Just keep two things in mind when wearing sparkle: 1. Use it in moderation; no one wants to look like a human snow globe. 2. When wearing glitters, keep your shapes classic. Don't chose a dress that's too poofy or tight and glittery. They work best with A-Line skirts/ dresses, crisp-cut blazers, and scallop-edged shorts. Have fun adding a little glitz to your wardrobe!*
