You all know sequins are one of my favorite things. Life is weird and hard and complicated, and I am so here for all the shimmery shiny fun that reflects light and hopefully brings a spark of joy. My friend thinks sequins should mostly be saved for New Year’s Eve, luckily she made an exception for a belated birthday for me recently. I’m bringing her to the sparkly side 😉
I’m a big fan of her sparkly dress with sequins and crystals. In fact, I almost bought it, but we are the same size, and she snagged it on sale first. It couldn’t look better on her, and I’m glad she won that shopping battle.
My dress is from one of my favorite brands. It has a cool secret. While it looks like just another sequin dress, it is actually velvet under the sequins. I love a unique dress, and this one fits the bill for sure. The juxtaposition of the hardness of the sequins and the softness of the velvet is such a cool metaphor for life.
Though it could really be paired with almost any shoes, I went with sequin pumps. The sequins aren’t exactly the same color, but they are close enough that the look came together. In an effort to bring a pop of color for the look, I added my pink crystal bag.
While I love both of our outfits, I love that my friend enjoys coordinating our outfits, wanted to celebrate with me, and even gave me the most adorable and soft Jellycat so much more. She is an amazing lady, and I am lucky to know her.
I’m lucky to be an unofficial part of the Four Seasons family as well. The flowers are from one of the team, and our waitress gave us that beautiful and tasty dessert.
Birthday celebrations should always have a little sparkle.
