I’m a big believer in dressing up for no reason – especially when you’ve had a rough couple of days and need that extra little something to perk you up. For me, there is no better way to do this than with sequins. I love the idea of dressing down your fanciest top by layering a casual basic underneath & adding distressed denim for an effortless ladylike look. Give it a try – it’s an instant mood lifter!

What a gorgeous look, Kimberly! I agree! You can never be too dressed up. I love the orange sequins. It's such an unexpected color for a sequin top! Orange is the new neutral this year! 😉
P.S. Totally heading to F21 for a bag of my own! LOVE it! 😉

I'm loving this mix of dressy with casual.

You are so right – sequins ALWAYS instantly make you feel better! What a clever idea to dress them down by layering a turtleneck under! It grounds them and then they pair so seamlessly with the distressed denim. Lovies! 🙂

This look is beautiful on you. I love the casual feel of the jeans and the added element of surprise… sequins. I would have loved to see your hair from a different angle. It looks BEAUTIFUL!!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks dressing up for fun is awesome! I love wearing sequins after the holidays. That top is so pretty and it looks fantastic layered over the turtleneck. You always have flawless skin too. What foundation do you use?

Super cute!

Hi Toni,
I use Arbonne Line Defiance Foundation and I swear by it! I've been using it exclusively for years – it's all natural and just melts into your skin 🙂

I really like this! I hate turtlenecks, and I hate them under anything. You make this look snuggly, sparkly, and fancy. I love it, particularly the shoes and bag!

love this so much! one of my favorites because it's so wearable during the day. your photos are gorgeous, and your pop of color on your lip is perfect. as always!
Love this times a million! The color of that sequin shirt is amazing. Seems like you always see sequin tops in black and white. I'm also a big fan of layering with turtlenecks. It's a winter life-saver!

Ok, I can't believe that top is vintage and in such good condition! I especially love the hem; it is asymmetrical, right? (I'm not just seeing things?)

I love the sequin top! It is so unique! I started wearing everyday sparkle when we moved to Seattle and it was dark all the time, they are a mood lifter
It's that bag I love so much! It looks so good! And of course everything else is styled perfectly as well. I never thought about something over a turtle neck.. must try this! Thanks!! : )
