How to Wear Glitter in the Daytime

Have you ever worn sequin aka glitter?  It is pretty much a trend in fashion these days.  Glitter is worn mostly at nights and for real special and dressier occasions. But not so today curvy divas. Glitter can also be worn during the day!  I've worn glitter during the day time before and I try to make it look as understated as possible!  You don't need too much accessories when you wear glitter.  It is pretty much how you put your outfit together!

On Elle.com Amanda Fitzsimons interviewed designer Marissa Webb who is known for using sequins during the daytime!  Amanda wanted to know if this look (daytime glitter) can really work? Marissa said it definitely can and thinks it is in how shine the sequinned (or glittered) garment that choose to wear is. It is not just in the size of the beadings at all!

I tend to agree with her.  I don't think a really shiny sequinned garment on its own, would work for daytime. That would definitely be overkill!  How would you possibly pass-off wearing a super-shiny glittered dress, with heels and an envelope purse during the day? You would have to be leaving from the office to go to an event, then it would be totally acceptable!

Worn by itself, any of these dresses above, while beautiful, would not work for  a daytime look. You know how adventurous we are divas. So let's find a way.  How would you wear any of those for daytime?

I think she did a great job of making that look daytime, don't you curvy divas?  

Here are my versions of wearing the same sequinned sweater on two separate occasions!

All cute pieces. I always imagine that anything sequined for with glitter is either itchy or very messy.
I agree with you! I like that they are making glitter that can be worn w/more daytime clothing. Thx for reading with me!

Fall 2012 Trends

Summer is not yet over but already the fashion world has moved on, for some time now, to Fall !  I love to peruse any information I see about Fall Fashions before the season begins too; learning what the colors and styles will be, and to see if there are any trends to follow. Where trends are concerned, I firmly believe that it is best to choose the look that will work best for you.  You can follow a trend, but you should tweak it to make it your own! This is how you discover your own sense of style! I love receiving emails from Ken Downing, Fashion Director for Neiman Marcus !  He shared quite a lot of details in his latest E-mail newsletter to me!  To start off, one of Fall's fashion trend will be the: Statement Handbag : Michael Kors Skorpios Haircalf Ring Tote - $1,695 from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com Yes, animal print continues even into the Fall season!  Budget conscious divas will do what we do best and shop around for th...
