You know that sequined skirt you have hanging in the back of your closet? Or that adorable spangled dress? Or the studded flats you love? Pull those out. Now is the time for some sparkle and shine!
We're well into December, which means if they haven't started around you yet, all those fabulous holiday parties are just around the corner. You want to look great, have fun, and overindulge in holiday cheer, yes? Well, nothing says festive quite like some sparkle!
This post was definitely inspired by (one of) my favorite skirt(s) ever: The Bowie Skirt from Haute Hippie.
Unfortunately, $685 for a skirt is a bit out of my price range. Lucky for me, Lulu's always has the cutest sequin stuff–year round!–for great prices. I'm obsessed with this sequin mini. It's the perfect length and color, and a total steal.
For those of us who want just a touch of shine, a small crossbody bag or coin purse is the perfect solution. Kate Spade is doing it right.
Having a statement jewelry piece is a great way to make a very sparkly impact. My rule is one statement piece per outfit, keeping the rest of the jewelry understated. For example, I'd style this bracelet from J.Crew with simple diamond or pearl studs. That's. It.
Your sparkle doesn't have to be a "traditional" metallic like gold, silver or platinum, either. I love the rich hues of these tanks at Nordstrom.
The holidays are definitely the time to go a bit overboard on the sparkle front. But don't get to crazy! Limit yourself to one piece that gives an otherwise classic, understated outfit a punch of "wow factor."

Even your hair deserves some sparkle (Forever 21).
And while we're at it, let's take a look at my favorites from Tory Burch.
And my current favorite item of holiday sparkle, Lilly's Adelson Shift!
It's a fresh twist on an LBD, and you barely need jewelry. Earrings, if that.
How do you sparkle?
