sequin skirt pairings

hey nancy,

i like the new sequin skirt you got.  i thought i would show you some fun ways to mix it up a little.

it's easy to wear it dressed up, but it's definitely cooler & more fun to dress it down with a hoodie.  it would look super cute with this hoodlum eco-fleece pullover hoodie from alternative apparel or this h&m sweater.  i definitely recommend completing this look with tights & flat boots.  plus, it's completely comfortable!  so, mom won't know you just felt lazy when you got dressed when she sees you =).


of course, you can always pair it with a chambray shirt (you know how much i love those already!).  the footwear can determine how dressed up or down it is--as you can see below.  you might also notice that it doesn't matter if you tuck in the shirt or not.  for a little punch, a slouchy blazer definitely adds a relaxed cool finish to the whole look.



you can also pair it with your basic tank top.  again, it's the footwear that determines how dressed up you are.



in the picture right above, the girl threw on a patterned sweater.  this ecote intarsia open cardigan at urban outfitters would do the job perfectly & comes in two colorways.


if you prefer, you can replace the patterned sweater with a field jacket like this h&m parka.  this is definitely a great option in colder weather.


you can also top the skirt off with a slouchy sweater.


i love this square-shaped jumper at zara, which comes in a variety of colors & at a price that can't be beat!


i think this twisted yarn sweater is also a versatile option from zara.  it costs more, but i think the versatility will pay for itself.


don't over-think the sequins--just treat it as a regular miniskirt.  just think of it as a bright color that you shouldn't overdo & you'll be fine.  i'm sure it looks great on your petite figure!

okay, talk to you later!
