A Bit of Shine


I never thought of myself as one who could do sequins, but this little top has me thinking other wise especially paired with the pretty drapey pleated short. I do know that I am not one to go without shades and aviators are my style of choice, well at least for now. I think a nude sandal would be lovely and help my short little legs not seem so stumpy. This bracelet had me at hello when I tried it on in the shop the other day, so pretty, but alas it stills sits in the shop. I would give my face a little color with this blush and it's gold little speckles. I think this outfit would work going to the zoo or a small casual dinner party. Since we went to the zoo yesterday then I am thinking dinner party and at my dinner party I would light the lovely candles on the lovely sconces and serve an array of cheeses on this lovely platter. Would you care to join me?

That bracelet is so pretty. I really like the mix of casual with sequins, and I found a lovely top at J Crew which I've fallen in love with. Love to join the dinner too!

The combination of color with a hint of sparkle goes hand in hand.
I'll bring the wine! xo

What a great outfit. I'm a big fan of neutral colours bases. This is great with a dash of sparkle to brighten things up! :)

I would care to join you! At first I thought that sconce was a bracelet, but now I see that it is jewelry for the walls. Another lovely round up here!

I'm not a sparkly girl either but this outfit has changed my mind. I thought that sconce was a bracelet too. Oh, and I'll bring dessert!

Will it be terribly tacky if I show up in the same outfit?!!!

Cool sandals for summer!!
Have a beautiful weekend ~~

If there is cheese being served, I will definitely be there!

I'm not into sequins usually either, but I think I could get on board with that top as well.

Have and love that blush! The best! Want the sconce and need those awesome gladiator shoes.
Great mix!

yes, sequins are usually so over-the-top, but they are subtle in this top! lovely finds.

All gorgeous. But I'll take the platters please. I posted them yesterday too... I'm crazy for them. Happy weekend! xo

I thought my everyday wardrobe needed a little sparkle, so I just bought a sequined t-shirt from j crew. My daughter was so disappointed that it wasn't for her! I say go for it!
