And I am talking about clothing. Once the domain of holiday parties only, or Vegas trips, they seem to be popping up more and more throughout the year at stores, and so people must be wearing them throughout the year.

I am always tempted to buy every one I see, with absolutely no idea of where I will use it. So I usually don't.

The other day, I went to a birthday dinner for my boyfriend's sister. Just him, me, his sister and her husband. This was at an established neighborhood New Mexican restaurant. A place you can wear sneakers or heels. I had five minutes to get ready, and I threw on:

a metallic rose midi dress
topped with a pale lavender mock neck sweater
finished with moto boots.

I was worried about overshadowing everyone, but this did not seem to happen at all. I think this is because metallics are becoming more common.

Where do you wear metallics? Or where WOULD you? If you do not, do you know someone who does? I am completely curious about how to integrate these obnoxiously noticeable items....because I would like to.
