Look of {Thanksgiving} Day: Sequins and Stripes

I'm a pretty festive person, so I get very excited about wearing holiday outfits. Clearly I knew my JCrew Sequin skirt would get a lot of use this time of year. Don't tell anyone but I actually wore it twice this weekend because I loved it SO much. One this particular day I paired it with a striped JCrew top.
Sequins are something that some see as fancy, but I could wear sequins everyday. What's not to love about them?
Actually I could wear this outfit every single day and be a pretty happy girl.

What's your take on Sequins? Do you love them as much as me?

    That skirt looks SO GOOD on you. It looked like a sack of hot mess on me and I left it behind in a pool of tears.

    Go girl!! We can never have too many sequins - even in spring I'm starting to think.

    I absolutely adore your skirt! I admired it on the J. Crew site for the longest time, but I just couldn't bring myself to pay all of the shipping charges and tax- now that I see how amazing it looks on you, I completely regret it! I love how you've worn it high-waisted, I never would have thought of it but it looks meant to be! I'm a huge fan of anything sequined or otherwise glittery, especially if it's gold.

    Lovely blog!

    Love the skirt with the sequins - and the striped shirt makes it festive in a "daytime" kind of way. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again - I've never met a sequin I didn't like. LOVE the skirt - SO cute with your stripes and tights!

    Merci,

    Jenna Lyons would be proud!! :)
    You look fantastic in sequins and I love how you made it more casual with the striped tee.

    I have one sequin top in my closet and rarely wear it because it is a party top, but I was really intriqued by the drapey sequin tee on J Crew's website. Too bad they didn't have my size.
