Oh, these are dark times.
But... There is always a dawn after the darkest of times...
And that dawn is "Style Questions Wednesdays!" , when a well-paid professional woman throws herself a tthe mercy of her good blog friends for advice!! woot-woot! Cue disco ball:
And so, after much ado and teeth gnashing and hullabaloo, today's question:
Do you ever sparkle during the day?
And no, I do not mean "are you of winning personality and lovely smile whilst you are at the office?"
No: do you sequin at the office? at the library? whilst taking the kids to the park?
At some workplaces, sequins appear to be de rigeur...
or
But what about US?
Can we wear sequins or sparkle to work?
What precipitated my question:
Today I wore my lovely Nougat London cardi with my JC Snakeskin pattern skirt and nine west nude pumps. I quite liked this look. BUT..
The cardi has some sequins and beading. Was it too much for work???
BTW - how much I love you all is that I am Xlarging this photo. All I see is extra flesh everywhere. But for the love of you, I suffer and show all!
A closeup to remind you:
All day I fretted that I should have left this to an evening look. The other part of the day I stared at the beading and said "oooooh, nice beading..."
So: whaddayathink? Should the sequin sweater have stayed home?????
I originally had a Talbots ivory cashmere boyfriend cardi on, but it looked too casual. I am feeling like Goldilocks today!!! One outfit was too large, one too small. I neededone just right! I love this sweater, but I want to be sure!
Do you ever wear sparkle or sequin to the office? How do you know if it is appropriate?
Happy Wednesday and sparkle on, in your own, special way!
(my god, what did we do before the internet???? You type in "dark times" and there you go!)
The economy continues to perform poorly.
My choice of president may or may not be elected (and no, out of respect and love for you all, I will NOT say who my choice is! I am Canadian after all, and WE ARE NICE!) come November.
My summer diet worked well before Paris and has gone to hell in a handbasket since then and I am about ready to do something drastic (I know, it will make you cry - I may not have a glass of wine during the week! The horrors!) to kick start it as I can hardly breath in my clothes.
