Coast to Coast: Sparkles

Welcome to the second installment of our coast to coast style collaboration! We are girls in four very different parts of the country trying out the same trend. Just because New Year's Eve has passed doesn't mean you can't spice up your wardrobe with some sparkle. Our looks range from casual to party and everything in between. Hopefully this will inspire you to incorporate that extra flash of glam into your wardrobe.
Shirt: Gap, Pants: local boutique, Booties: Target, Scarf: Gifted (knitted by my cousin!)
So after digging around my closet I've realized these crazy sequined leggings are the only sparkly item I own. I have to admit that after previously wearing them like this I was kind of stumped on another way to style them. I decided to see if I could make sequins casual. By pairing them with an oversized chambray work shirt, minimal accessories and super relaxed hair and makeup, I do think I achieved a pretty casual look - sequins and all.

Make sure to visit Ash 'n' Fashn, Minted Glam, and Life Unsweetened for the complete looks!

  4. I love this, Lily! Glam-casual is one of my favorite looks, and you totally nailed it. The relaxed hair and makeup is the perfect addition (and so pretty on you, by the way).
