Sequins After Work

Banana Republic Trench. borrowed Leyendecker Dress. Louis Vuitton Bag. Zara Heels. House of Harlow Sunglasses. Forever 21 Earrings.

My sister and I have decided that weekly sushi dates are a must. And dressing up for these dates is the best part. I quickly changed out of my nine to five attire and slipped on this sequin Leyendecker dress (reminds me of this Alice + Olivia number) to walk around the corner. Yes I wore sequins to grab sushi just a block from my apartment. Sure spiced up my Tuesday!

Haha... there's nothing like spicing up an average day with some sequins.. I just got a pink A+O sequin top I cannot wait to debute on the blog! :D

You go... I love the sequins. You're living it up in the city. SF take note! Every time I visit everyone's so casual (which is fine) but it's fun to dress things up.

AmyW said...

IN love. And definitely need to find some friends who are into dressing up just because.

Ginny said...

wow! that dress is stunning! love it!

RosaLovesDC said...

I think this is a great idea. I love your dress BTW!

Jessica said...

I need to start busting out the sequins for run-of-the-mill days. There's no reason the grocery store can't be equally glamorous! Hope all is well! (And if you're interested, I'm hosting a giveaway for a darling jacket.)

Love these sequins! I'm sure you and your sister made a stunning duo for your night on the town. And everytime I see you wear this trench, I'm reminded that I need to get myself one...so worth the investment!

Emily Saltzberg said...

1. You are stunning
2. I love that dress with the nude pumps. I never would have thought of that combo.
3. What's your favorite kind of sushi?

Sist and Sist said...

I love this!

Taylor Marie said...

You look fabulous! I love those sequins!

My little sister and I love dressing up to go places -- except in our little town back home people kept asking us "why are you so dressed up?" they just didn't get it! Luckily for me, in Miami dressing up is normal :)

SO CUTE!!! And why not! I personally love any excuse to dress up! :)

Caroline said...

I love the dress BUT I love love your nude heels!!! Great style lady! xo!

Elisabeth said...

I love the idea of dressing up for no real reason. It seems we have too few dressup occasions in San Francisco!

Becca [Free Honey] said...

This is such a great idea!! I love excuses to get dressed up (and sushi too for that matter). I'm loving your sequined dress, sequins shouldn't be reserved for big parties and new years - getting dressed up is fun everyday! But it is nice that you toned things down with the neutral trench and heels - it's definitely more weekday chic this way!

ChiccaStyle said...

Stunning look!!!This mono shoulder dress is amazing and you look great!

How fun that you and your sister have weekly sushi dates! My sister moves up her at the end of summer and we may have to copy you. :)

LOVE this dress on you -- you look good in sequins, girl! Pretty lip color, too. Hope you're enjoying the sunshine! <3

Alicia said...

@OnTheRacks - Oh you and your sister will have so much fun! Weekly sushi dates are definitely a must! ;)

ELIZABETH said...

You look very pretty in sparkly sequins. What did your sister wear?

Miss Amy N. said...

The bf and I had a sushi date last night as well! Tuesday date nights, whomever we share it with, are the best way to go.

Cheers!

Kimbirdy said...

i absolutely adore your get-dressed-up-for-weekly-sushi-dates idea! what could be more fun than adding a little glamour to an ordinary week day?

Meg said...

Love that, gf! Looks great on you! And I think weekly sushi dates are a wonderful idea! I might need to start doing that with my gf's!

I love this! I normally slip into something sweatshirted when I get home, but sequins are just such a better look!

Natalie said...

Love that you guys have sushi dates and this dress looks amazing on you! I like the idea of wearing the stuff you like instead of having to "save" it for, like, 2 occasions a year.

Margot said...

Ahh so fun!! love it. I hope your sister got dressed up too. Its fun to mix up your week with a "date night". I wish my sister lived closer so we could see each other once a week. So lucky.

You look great I love the lipstick!

Marissa said...

There's most definitely nothing wrong with wearing sequins to sushi. This dress is gorgeous, and it DOES remind me of the A+O piece too. Love Miss Bendet and all her designs :)

It's always necessary to be appropriate, but I always say dress for where you want to be just as much for where you're at ;)
