Given the name of my blog, I’m sure it’s of no surprise to you that I gravitate toward sequins. Shoes, tops, skirts, dresses – I have to have them. This top is so old it can be considered vintage, because I borrowed it from my mom’s closet circa 1998 and still am finding excuses not to return it (sorry Mom). But I love how it fits just right – not baring too much decolleté, and the color is heavenly.
And my Obakki skirt is just so flowy and fun that I couldn’t resist pulling it out to wear it again.
What I’m Wearing
- “Vintage” sequined top (thanks, Mom)
- Obakki skirt (just heard you can enter code SPRING SPREE at checkout to get 25% off & free shipping!)
- Colin Stuart booties
- Gold multi-strand necklace from Urban Outfitters (no longer available however this is a pretty alternative)
- Vintage Rolex
- Tights, Merona (Target)
- thatheadbandikeepwearing (sorry) – also from Target
Guess what? I’m turning 26 on Saturday (May Day, baby)! Will you join me in the festivities?
Is that skirt high waist? I've never seen you wear it that way.
love the shoes! You didn't say where they're from though.
oops! it's up now. they're colin stuart, and I believe i ordered them from Victoria's Secret back in the day (when booties weren't in style–and thus never had much gall to wear them back then)
the skirt isn't high-waist, just wore it that way in previous post – i'm just short so i hiked it up for that one 🙂
Your blog is so fun! I can't resist looking for new posts every day! Your outfits and tips are so creative! Keep it up. I also love the stores you recommend,
The top is super cute, I can see why you "stole" it 😉
Yay for birthday weeks! Those heart balloons are almost as adorable as you!
Love the mix of colors. I would never think of it.
Absolutely love your outfit! And those heart shaped balloons are SO amazing! I love them!
Very cute….Love Target, love the headband. Funny what you said about the booties. I feel the same way. I would wear them the way you have here. I'm short too. My question is…where would you wear this outfit??
LOVE your blog!!!! LOVE your outfit even more!!! What a great mix of colors and texture! http://tricias-take.blogspot.com/

thank you mandy! i'm glad you visit 🙂
tieka – you are too sweet! and those heart balloons were an accident – i wanted regular pearly pink balloons but all she had were these heart shaped ones. i was hesitant at first, but now i love them! they are so cheery in my room 🙂
woohoo! and yay for heart balloons 🙂

I love the whole outfit, I am really in love with your top I was surprised to see it was vintage, Manwish my mom had one in her closet..lol
I love that headband! You SHOULD keep wearing it!
The last pic is my fave!
I think black with pink is so cute… the shirt is beautiful and so are the shoes.
this is BY FAR the CUTEST outfit of them all!! heart the sequins, especially the pink and love how you threw in a theme with balloons … hope studies are going well, honey!!
Hey Julie! I would wear this to my birthday party (if I was having one) or any occasion where it would be appropriate for me to be the center of attention (at least for a little while). 🙂

I am IN LOVE with that top! (Especially since I also tend to gravitate towards sequins.) Those balloons are totally adorable, too 🙂
I love these photos! Such dreamy lighting, and the heart balloons? Adorable!
Just stumbled upon your blog and I'm so glad I did. Love your style. Great outfit!
I have a shirt JUST like that! (it's not mine, is it? If so, it sure looks better on you!)
You are extremley beautiful, and I am lucky enough to have a beautiful woman in my life. I just wish she had your confidence to show off her wonderful outfits and her wonderful features!
