A few years ago, I bought my first sequined mini-skirt. I had it hanging in my closet for a while before I actually pulled it out last year and wore it for the first time to my office Christmas party. I honestly don’t know why I never wore it before and don’t know why I don’t wear more sequins. I love how they add a little bit of sparkle to my wardrobe!
This sequined dress {below} is sold out, but Forever 21 has some great {inexpensive} sequined outfits, from shift dresses and tunics to bomber jackets and capes.
Looking to add sequins to a whimsical sweater? Then try sequined pants, in a complementary color like the pink ones below.
Not sure you can pull off sequined pants? Then take a cure from Girl with Curves and try a simple sequined top with a full skirt.
Sequins can really be dressed up or dressed down. You could add a simple t-shirt to a long sequined skirt to give it a casual, yet fancy, look. I so want to recreate this look!
I love how Julia Engel of Gal Meets Glam paired her tiered-sleeve sweater with a pink sequined midi skirt. So chic! {Click the link to her blog to get more details about this outfit. She links less expensive outfit options for the budget-conscious fashionistas like me and you!}
Another blogger with great style is Damsel in Dior, who paired her gold sequined skirt with a chic black turtleneck.
Not so sure about wearing sequined skirts or pants? Then try a stylish blazer or add some cool sparkly accessories, like a belt or shoes. Stylist and Blogger Alex Evjen paired her blazer with a whimsical statement shirt {“This is my party dress”}!
Styling your sequins is a personal preference. You can pair them with a t-shirt or jeans. You can go all out an wear an entire sequined outfit or you can just dip your toes in the water and wear a belt or a scarf made with sequins.
This outfit pairs a festive red plaid tartan button down shirt with a fitted sequined skirt. This outfit shows that pairing the right colors with a sequined skirt and adding the right accessories can really make an outfit sparkle!

When you start RSVP-ing to all the upcoming holiday parties this month, think about adding some sparkle to your wardrobe with some sequins.
