Flash Back: Sequins

Originally, when sequins started showing up in every storefront window and on runways, I was skeptical of how glamorous they could be. All I could picture were '80s fashions with big shoulder pads and synthetic fabrics. Or, I'd think of ABBA's '70s sequin splurging.

But, I was converted. There are so many modern, fun fashions that incorporate sequins in a tasteful way. They do add a little glamour to everything, even the everyday jean, like tank top in the middle picture above from J. Crew. Or, when paired simply with tame hair and no jewelry, the dress (from Nordstrom) at the top is stunning. Finally, the shoe from Ann Taylor at the bottom is really fun. I like that the sequins are toned down by the soft, feminine peachy color....plus, they're on sale.
