Everyday Glam

Do you love sequins, bling and embellishment? Yes?! Awesome! So do I! Do you also feel like you don't know how to incorporate these fun, flashy fashion trends on the regular? Well, don't fret because I'm here to help you navigate the everyday glam look. The key to pulling off special occasion elements is by pairing them with casual pieces that create balance. Daytime glam is a lot easier to pull off than you think. A simple swipe of red lipstick, adding stiletto heels to your jean look, putting your hair up in a french twist, or a fun blingy brooch on your blazer are easy ways to take your look from basic Betty to bombshell Barb! Here are three looks that you can easily pull together for shopping with the girls, a lunch date, or casual Friday at work.

Sequins and Cream

Liza Minelli shouldn't be the only one to know the joy of sequins! Sure we may not be the daughter of hollywood icon Judy Garland or be a singer/actress, but hell, we may as well win an academy award for our role as strong, confident woman keeping family, job, and everything else running smoothly. An easy way to add a bit of Liza with a Z to your ensemble is by pairing sequins with basics like a sleeveless cotton popover and a knit mini skirt. Put the finishing touches on this jazzed up casual look by accessorizing with metallic ballet flats, a tonal purse, and that necklace you bought for your Christmas party. Voila! You are ready for your close-up!

Smooth Like Velvet

Velvet is a luxe fabric that makes the rounds during the holidays. However, I, and fashionistas like Jimi Hendrix and Prince would say, "It's an everyday staple honey". The way to pull off this party favorite is by transitioning it with seasonal pieces. Put a spring twist on a velvet blazer by pairing it with a lightly colored crochet detailed blouse and pearls! Pearls are awesome for taking your look to the next level. To avoid looking too debutante, ground the ensemble with medium wash jeans and snakeskin peep-toe heels for good measure.

Pretty in Green

So you have this dress that was once totally legit on its own, but now that you've worn it a bunch, you feel like its major snooze-city. A quick and easy way to glam it up is by adding an embellished belt! Not only does it instantly jazz things up, it gives you an hourglass shape by highlighting your waist. Go even further with this look by adding rhinestone drop earrings, a killer bag, and the always glam...pointy toe stilettos. The pointy toe elongates the legs and puts a polished finish on any look.

Don't let your inner glam girl take a backset because it's not New Years! Put her in the drivers seat and live everyday like it's a party!
