I always feel I want to add a little color to my black outfits. And I haven't seen anything by 2 Dog Island in a while. It is a brand I found at a local boutique a couple of years ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sequins-for-work-and-holiday-party#post-1427357 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 04:26:02 +0000 unfrumped 1427357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, how can you wear black as well as your medium moody neutrals! I agree, the necklace is perfect even with the sparkly top .<br /> FAB long coat. I like long on you.<br /> And 2 Dog Island- I don't know that brand, but I love those items. Great jeans look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sequins-for-work-and-holiday-party#post-1427290 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 02:24:31 +0000 Jaime 1427290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the shape of that skirt on you and it is fantastic with the sparkles. You errands outfit looks great also - I like the cognac belt touch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sequins-for-work-and-holiday-party#post-1427283 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 02:10:53 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1427283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha ha, Peri! Yes, the fabric came with sequins already sewn on. I used a sharp needle for sewing through the fabric and sequins. You're so sweet. I'm flattered at your admiration of my green trench. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sequins-for-work-and-holiday-party#post-1427279 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 01:53:24 +0000 Peri 1427279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it of course! Did you hand sew all those sequins or is there actually sequined material?&nbsp;</p> <p>You've inspired me because I have a wine silk blouse I've tried to wear with a black skirt and have never been successful. Now I see that it might look a lot better with something over it...I'll have to try. Thanks!</p> <p>You've also inspired me because I've decided on my Spring wish list is a trench coat as pretty as your green one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sequins-for-work-and-holiday-party#post-1427247 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 00:50:33 +0000 Mona 1427247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sequined top looks divine on wine blouse. You look ready to partaaayyyy! I also really like the necklace.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sequins-for-work-and-holiday-party#post-1427246 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 00:47:49 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1427246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Diana. If only I had your bubble skirt! (Which I really liked with your floral sweater, too.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sequins-for-work-and-holiday-party#post-1427241 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 00:39:28 +0000 Diana 1427241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow!&nbsp; I really love your holiday party outfit!&nbsp; All of that sparkle is just fantastic, and the rich wine color is the perfect festive complement to the silver and black.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sequins-for-work-and-holiday-party#post-1427238 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 00:37:47 +0000 Angie 1427238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAH. High five. I think I can recognize a few of the players names too. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sequins-for-work-and-holiday-party#post-1427236 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 00:36:12 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1427236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I'm surprised to find myself caught up in the Seahawks fervor since last year. I can even name two or three players. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sequins-for-work-and-holiday-party#post-1427224 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 00:10:45 +0000 Angie 1427224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES WAY. It was sooooooo close. The Packers *almost* had it in for the Seahawks. Final score 22-28 to us. All in the final two minutes.<b> AMAZNG.&nbsp;</b>We have been dragged into the football scene because close friends are huge fans - and now because the Seahawks are&nbsp;winning - it's been fun to follow. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sequins-for-work-and-holiday-party#post-1427215 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 23:55:24 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1427215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! Joy, I really want to wear that outfit--faded blue jeans (boyfriends in my case), plus my suede black booties. Thanks for the idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sequins-for-work-and-holiday-party#post-1427213 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 23:48:55 +0000 Anonymous 1427213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The rich red blouse and sequined top are beautiful on you. Keep wearing that daytime bling. The black sequined would be great as a part of an all black outfit or with faded blue jeans and your black booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sequins-for-work-and-holiday-party#post-1427207 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 23:40:57 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1427207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG. No way, Angie! Last I heard, the score was 16-0, Green Bay, in the 4th quarter. I was a little sad, thinking, gee, they'd have to make three touchdowns in the final quarter?! And I'm not really a football fan, but I am a Seattlite now, so how can I not be moved to follow the Seahawks at least a little bit?</p> <p>Okay, back to fashion. . . . <br />Thank you, everyone!<br />Jackie, I'm flattered that you see my at-home style as similar to yours. I admire your very stylish casual looks!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sequins-for-work-and-holiday-party#post-1427202 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 23:35:09 +0000 Angie 1427202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(I typed out a long comment - and then lost it because I&nbsp;got completely side tracked.&nbsp;The Seahawks JUST MADE THE FINAL. WOOOHOOOOOO. There are fireworks here in Madrona).&nbsp;</p> <p>Okay. Back to stylish you. Both holiday outfits are killer, Sharan. I especially like the rendition with the red blouse. There is lots of extra bling on top of the sequin top - hose and necklace - and it REALLY works. WOW. Nicely done. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sequins-for-work-and-holiday-party#post-1427176 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 22:39:54 +0000 MsMaven 1427176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that coat on you. Great looks, but my favorite is #7: simple, sleek and chic. Casual but elegant.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sequins-for-work-and-holiday-party#post-1427143 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 21:57:45 +0000 shipskitty 1427143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sequins-for-work-and-holiday-party#post-1427120 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 21:40:14 +0000 tulle 1427120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another one of your amazing creations.&nbsp; Clever to wear it over the long-sleeved shirt, like a jerkin. And now you know:&nbsp; glittery black is very pretty on you!&nbsp; I especially like the party outfit, the wine blouse and that elegant long black coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sequins-for-work-and-holiday-party#post-1427119 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 21:39:46 +0000 jackiec 1427119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your new sequin top, Sharan! It has the shape of a sweatshirt, but the sparkle of a "going-out" shirt! Looks equally great over the denim/tencel shirt as over the wine blouse! Fun addition to your wardrobe. I can see this working with sooooo many items in your wardrobe. I like your at-home outfit too. We have similar looks for at home </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sequins-for-work-and-holiday-party#post-1427118 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 21:39:31 +0000 Anonymous 1427118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - what a beautiful top!! &nbsp;I especially love it dressed right up with the wine coloured blouse. Can I place an order for one? &nbsp;:) &nbsp;Just a &nbsp;fantastic piece. &nbsp;And your one-step-up-from-gear look is great - those jeans fit you very &nbsp;well. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sequins-for-work-and-holiday-party#post-1427108 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 21:29:57 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1427108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was inspired by a blog post to make a sequined short-sleeved sweatshirt, but I'm not sure which post it was now! I think it was a combination of the shell-over-blouse ensemble and <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2014/12/05/holiday-ensemble-sparkly-sweater-dressed-up-or-down/" rel="nofollow">the holiday ensemble one here</a>. Anyway, I thought I could use a sequined top for our company's holiday party this year. (Our party is always post-holidays, in January.) I wore the sequined top to work, then came home and made a few changes before heading off to the party. </p> <p>I felt super fab in my new top. I don't think I've ever had a sequined garment before! I like that the sequins are a matte black with a subtle blue tone to the shine, though that doesn't really come through in the photos. </p> <p>Last outfit is my barely-a-step-up-from-gear, hang-around-and-do-laundry look. Though I did go out to breakfast in it.</p> <p>1-3 (worn to work): tencel chambray placket-front shirt (Side-Stitch); black ruched tube skirt (Vince Camuto); black sequined cap-sleeve sweatshirt with mesh knit bands at hem, neck, and sleeves (made by me); black tights; black flat booties (Munro, Lexie); gray, black, ivory, and taupe ombre plaid coat (Michael Michael Kors); black satchel (Elliott Luca, Olvera).</p> <p>4-6 (worn to holiday party): wine silk blouse (Eileen Fisher); skirt and sequined top as above; black and silver shimmer tights (Commando); black d'Orsay pumps (Vince, Claire); long black coat (Gallery); silver bag with chain detail (Michael Michael Kors); sparkly necklace and earrings.</p> <p>7-8 (worn for a day off ): dark boyfriend jeans (Kut from the Kloth, Catherine); mid-blue waffle tee (2 Dog Island); black, brown, blue, and sage boxy boucle sweater (2 Dog Island); cognac perforated belt (Fossil); black flat booties (Munro, Lexie). </p> <p>Thanks for looking! As always, I welcome your thoughts and suggestions.</p>
