Never to Young to Sparkle

While the economy still stands in an uncomfortably low place it seems as if the fashion world will not succumb to that level, instead the ante has been upped as sequins become one of the most popular embellishments for this winter. Having always had this fascination with things that sparkle, the reemergence of the popularity of sequins has brought me back to the days of dress up; when as a young child no outfit was complete without something that was shiny or a little flashy. The days of dressing up as a princess or fairy are where I return to when I see sequined shoes, blazer, leggings, and pants. I cannot help holding back my excitement. In days where recess no longer exists, I find it comforting to revisit my childhood in a grownup but fashionable way. One of my favorite clothing brands, White House Black Market® has flooded their winter lines with the very garments that lead me back to memory lane. I recently received their catalog in the mail and proceeded to drool over the black sequined pumps that would look ever so festive with the sequined tuxedo blazer. When I did not think it could get any better I turned the page to find a pair of sequined pants. Although those might be a little over the top for me, the fact that they exist in a mature fashion brand makes me grin, as I indulge in things that I once wore when I was not even able to tie my shoes. Maybe it is because I cannot help but reminisce or maybe it is because I have always been attracted to things that sparkle, but no matter what, I am a fan of the sequin revolution and can guarantee, I will be counting my pennies until one of these pieces finds a home in my closet.
