Daytime Sequins with Mixed Metals

Happy Monday! Today I wanted to show you how easy it can be to wear daytime sequins! I know some women my stray away from sequins for daytime, in fear that they may look to flashy, but I promise it is possible!

The key to daytime sequins is to pair it with something that is more casual, you can see below that I chose to wear my BCBG black sequin skirt with a FOREVER 21 heather grey, plain, v-neck tee. (I am a high/low girl, meaning I am all about mixing higher cost items with lower cost ones!) I kept my jewelry very simple with just a gold chain necklace, my silver "C" necklace, silver AX watch, gold stud bracelet and my usual rings......... And voilĂ , daytime sequin look, super easy!!

Now, I also have to talk about my NEW shoes, because I am so in love!! They are SAM EDELMAN and I bought them from Piperlime.com, the style is called the Allie. I am loving the mix of metals on them because I can wear with both gold and sliver or like I did today wear mixed metal jewelry!  I am not usually big on mixing my metals but I feel like the mix tones work well with this outfit because of the fact the heather grey serves as a neutral, and it is a theme I carried throughout my whole look.

Don't be afraid to add a little sparkle to your everyday!!

Yellow Shorts and Affordable Shoes

Check out todays outfit! I am loving my new very yellow shorts!

I just purchased these shorts from Marshall's for $17, I love that store and am always able to find stuff that I love! That is why I have to limit the amount of times I let myself go in, because I always walk out with something. I paired my new shorts with my shear camo print blouse from Zara, I love the bright color of the short with the camo print.

My shoes are fairly new too, I am loving this strappy heel thing that we are seeing everywhere, plus they are very comfortable. Believe it or not my shoes are from Burlington, they are Chinese Laundry and I bought them for only $13! I was so surprised when I went into Burlington last week to come out with 3 pairs of shoes, each one was less then $20 in cost and all name brands. So ladies, I highly recommend going in and checking out the one nearest you! 

Finally my necklace is from Sam Moon, if you are from Texas then you have probably heard of this store, if not you need to check out their website, sammoon.com. They have some great jewelry at some super affordable prices.

So in total, the major parts of my outfit came out to under $60!
