Hi every bunny! I’m on to look #3 with this sequin dress. We’ve done the party look and the dressy daytime look. Now we need to style it so we can wear this dress into the evening! I paired the sequin dress with a heavier sweater to create a look more appropriate for evening events, happy hour or maybe a dinner date. The blazer over top makes the outfit more structured, smart and put together. Depending on your work or company, you can throw on a pair of opaque tights and make it business casual for networking events, schmoozing and whatever else the night may bring. ;) (And I say depending on your work because the dress is a mini!)

If I styled this outfit again, I’d switch out the shoes and wear these instead. They didn’t do the outfit justice. It actually kind of bugs me every time I look at it. Oh well.

So dinner, anyone?

how to style a sequin dress: daytime dressy

I have this perception that sequins are meant for evenings. It’s never crossed my mind to wear sequins during the day… let alone a full sequin dress. But apparently, it can be done! I paired the sequin dress with a long sleeve lace top to downplay the sparkle and add a touch of romance. Since the dress is already so busy and textured, I kept the rest of the outfit subtle with neutrals pieces. This would be such a cute outfit to wear to brunch with the girls!

What’s the verdict? How would you style a sequin dress for daytime wear?

i want to be the highlight of your life

How does a color glow so florescently? Beats me. But I want it all over me.  I’ve been tempted to by neon a few times, but my closet so far still remains without… except for one hot pink tee that’s more… hot pink than neon, actually. Forget I said that. I’ve resisted the temptation to buy neon because I assume that the trend will fade away and revive itself sometime in the future when I’m too old to wear it anymore… but so far it’s still kicking. Can you be too old for neon? Neon grandma bunnie. How bout it?

So how would I wear neon, if I had access to all the neon in the world?

First, with tanned skin. Second, yellow. Third, casually. I saw a few bloggers with these neon Loubies, and I’m absolutely in love with them! I can’t justify that price for a trend though. Can you? Maybe you can change my mind. Just kidding, I won’t. But I wouldn’t ever say no if someone decided to give them to me. Anyone? The Cambridge Satchel is yet another item I love. Makes a great casual bag, and the best part is, they come in a whole lot of bright popping colors. That’s style, made easy.

Look. At. Those. DVF. Wedges. Tell me you’re obsessed! If I had those shoes, I wouldn’t need to wear anything else, and I’d be okay with it. I’m a big sucker for nude and black pairings, and ankle cuffs… even though sometimes they cut my legs short and make me look stubby. But all that, with the accented green? I die. I did convince them to let me come back though so I could share such a wonderful wedgie with you. Just imagine them with printed pants, white pants, denim, leggings, skirts, shorts — just name ‘em, and then pair ‘em.

So tell me, did you succumb to neon yet, or are you resisting it?

floral pants

 I went to H&M today with my BFF and saw these pants hanging on the rack in the front. These pants, along with tops, dresses all in the same print. In large amounts. I was kind of ticked off. I received these pants ( which I adore ) for Christmas last year. Last year they cost, something like $60. At this moment, in stores, right now, they are $15. FIFTEEN. I touched them. I looked at them. I’m not sure if there’s a difference. To me, they look the exact same. So if you’re looking to get on this trend but don’t want to spend a fortune, H&M is your store. Just don’t be surprised when you see a bunch of other people wearing the same thing.

I’m still appalled.

PS – Not sure why the H&M site sells the trousers for $17.95. Get them in stores, they’re cheaper. If you don’t believe me, I took a picture.

I realized that I don’t nearly greet ya’ll enough… so hi every bunny and happy hump day!

Okay, I admit it. I’m dirty. Yes, I’m wearing the same shirt (backwards) that I wore in my last post. But when you revive an old item, it’s like new again. Obsessing and over-wearing it is all game. I have something else to admit. This is THE first leopard piece I’ve ever owned. I bought one for my BFF as a part of her Secret Santa gift and having never really been embraced by leopard, I tried it on. Oh and it embraced me. Long and hard. I loved it. And loved it so much that one of my awesome guy friends ended up gifting me with it for Christmas. Love… the fact that I now have my own leopard cardi and the fact that a guy paid enough attention to women’s fashion to remember what I loved. But then again, maybe I’m just lucky enough to have such a fashionable fun male friend, who’s not gay. There’s hope girls.

And just not too long ago, I added a 2nd piece of leopard to my closet: a scarf. Also worn in my last post.

In line with some of the trends for spring/summer, I finally got around to pairing different, contrasting patterns together in an outfit. How’d I do? Okay, I think. I also added a pop of red and snuck in some pastel nails. I think I’ve got the trends going on. Now only if I had some floral… overkill? Maybe next time.

The bright bolds and light pastels trending for spring makes me happy. If I had a clutch in every one of these colors, I’d be set for life… or this spring anyway. Paring a statement piece like these with any plain outfit takes you from lame and tame to wild child… Okay, maybe not but I can bet that you’ll be stylish and chic at the least. That’s the thing I love most about accessories — they show your personality and who you are.  Or, they can make you. So grab your jeans and tees and throw some fun on them!
