Day Sparkle


Vintage Sweater and Clutch, Alexander Wang Tee, Rock & Republic Boyfriend Jeans, BCBG Heels, JCrew Necklace

I recently spotted this sequined sweater at one of my favorite consignment shops (Cris) on Polk Street. Even before trying it on I knew it would come home with me. I've already sported this sweater quite a few times in the past few days because let's face it, everyone needs a little sparkle in their daily routine. 




True Fact: sequins by day (as well as night) promote spontaneity, productivity, lots of laughter and overall happiness. Give it a whirl...

That was a great find and although I'm a little afraid of daytime sparkles, I thin it would make any day better.

I have those shoes! But I'm not great at wearing heels so they're pretty painful to me.
