animal-print and sequins...for day...oh my...

I’ve wanted to try wearing sequins for day…

for most “fashionistas”…this may not seem like a daunting task…

but then most people obsessed with fashion…such as myself…

do not have Amish for neighbors.

But…today was the day…and apparently…WalMart was the place…??

Inspired by a look in Fossil’s latest lookbook…
(their look actually had a lace tank)…

I rummaged through my husband’s side of the closet…

(ok…his small bar in the closet)…to find a shirt similar
 to the one in the photo.

I came across this heathered-oatmeal button-down…

I thought it paired nicely with the sequins
and may help detract some of the sparkle…

apparently not enough…I got stares…glares…and lest I forget…a cat-call.

Ok…I’m sure the animal-print didn’t help!?

All I know is…I rather like the sparkle for day…

And I plan to do it again…

But maybe next time I’ll save it for somewhere else!?

 

Brown Pleather Jacket…Wet Seal

Sequin Tank…Kohls

Button-Down…borrowed from hubby

Skinny Jeans…NY&CO

Boots…Kohls

Bag…Guess

Jewelry…XOXO watch, Kohls bangles,

Premier ring, Daisy Fuentes hoops

mama never said there'd be days like this...

Since moving out here required that I leave my career behind…

it’s been difficult to find a suitable replacement…

so…I’ve had to resign to working at my husband's business
 three days a week to feel that I am earning my “room and board.”

This has not only been a blow to the ol’ego…but has been quite a

 culture shock to the closet…equipped with the perfect ensembles for

 lunch with friends…business meetings…or a night on the town…but…

we were not prepared for days like this.

Today is one of those days…I struggle to put together

a stylish, yet functional outfit…one that reflects my true aesthetic while

working within the life I actually live.

So...I pulled together a white button-down with distressed skinny jeans…

threw on my sequined cheetah-print flats and a ruffled pleather jacket…

and called it a day!
