It’s the holiday season, the time of the year that everything sparkles. So, I ask…why not have a little sparkle yourself? You may be thinking…”I can’t wear sequins– too flashy for me!” We’re not suggesting wearing a whole sequined dress–this is best left for the awards shows. We’re talking one piece that has some shine…as long as you pair it with the right pieces you will rock your holiday party!

The best thing about a sequined piece is…you don’t need to purchase a whole outfit to look great–just one piece! You can pair it with many items from your closet and look great. An embellished top can be worn under a black jacket or make a show-stopping impression by itself! This top by Simply Vera Vera Wang at Kohl’s has a decent amount of sparkle with some sheer organza on the border (and is on sale for a mere $42.99). Pair it with a black pencil skirt or black trousers and a nice pair of heels for a day to nighttime look. 

 This cute sequined vest is a package deal…it includes 2 of the season’s biggest trends: an embellished top plus the small vest.  I love this Britta Sequins Vest by Guess with a black tank and skinny jeans for a more casual, but festive look.

If you would like something versatile to create several looks, this sequined scarf from Ann Taylor Loft is adorable! It comes in silver or black, so you choose! You can pair this with just about anything solid–even a tee!

Whatever embellished piece you choose, you’ll have a hip, modern look at your next holiday party or wherever! Word to the wise: keep your other accessories VERY simple–too much jewelry could be overdoing this look.

Unless you’re going on the red carpet, of course…
