Everybody, Everywear totally snuck up on me this month! At the last minute I realized that sequins and sparkles are not well represented in my closet. In fact, the only item I have with a few sequins on it is this horse tee from Old Navy... and that just wasn't going to cut it! Since I missed out on the last couple of months of Everybody, Everywear, I really wanted to participate despite the dismal realization that I have a boring closet. I dug around and found this reallllly old top that has a nice shimmery pattern on it, pulled out my gold metallic wedding heels, stacked some shiny bracelets together, put on some dangly earrings, and (with the addition of the skirt of course) I had myself an outfit! The kiddo was napping, the hubby was at work, and I certainly wasn't lounging around the house in this outfit, so this was essentially a 25 year old woman playing dress up. That's acceptable right?
Edit:
I decided to add my Friday's Fancies outfit on to this post since the theme is sparkle and shine and that goes perfectly with the EveryBody, Everywear challenge! I kinda sorta based my outfit on the one I had fun putting together up above (minus the gold accents). Make sure to check out all the sparkly goodness going on at long distance loving this week! Oh and Thursday was my four year anniversary! We enjoyed a long walk with the little man, time at the playground together, and a yummy dinner cooked by moi. We'll be celebrating with a dinner out on Saturday!
So pretty, I love a delicate sparkle!! And yes totally acceptable I've done it :)
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing wrong with playing dress up! I currently work at home and puton nicer clothes just to get out of comfy pants every once in a while :) Super cute outfit, with a class amount of sparkle!
ReplyDeleteEverybody should play dress up now and again! I really like that this would be totally office appropriate with a cardigan or blazer (because I'm always looking for new ideas for work wear).
