Sequins: they’re not just for breakfast anymore. Breakfast after a long night of merriment, that is.

Let’s face it-these shiny little suckers are everywhere. And they can now be worn everywhere. for work (yes, only for the fashionati) or play; from a day of shopping to a night on the town. Styled ultra-fem or downtown-cool, sequins can be rocked by laides both young and ahem, mature.

Jay Godfrey’s Athenee tank is fresh, updated way to get this look. The assymetrical hem gives it more interest than a basic sequin tank and looks great back to skinny denim and sandals for a casual look and black jeans and heels if you’re looking a little more “oomph”.

Sequin shorts work well back to a simple tank and a long blazer. Keep the shoes simple-flats or plain pumps. These shorts are an especially fun way to bedazzle your wardrobe-they’re under $25! Shorts not your thing? Topshop does a nice version of a bandage skirt that you can do instead. Love the neutral-ish hue of this one-if you’re feeling funky, pop on a pair of red shoes for that extra “rawwwr!“.

Now if you’re not a feelin’ the sparkly/girly vibe that sequins tend to bring, try the Disco Tartan top by J. Crew paired back with some easy cargos in a neutral color (like J Brand’s Houlihan in olive green). Slap on some sassy shoes and you’re set! Another no-frills option is Markus Lupfer’s tee worn back to leggings, shorts, or destructed jeans.

The above blazer from ASOS reminds me of last year’s to. die. for. Gucci blazer. This sick jacket came and went, and only a handful of ladies were lucky enough to get their hands on one (ie, Jessica).

If you happen to have a nice little pile of cash laying around and you’re looking to invest in this trend, go get yourself the Stam by Marc Jacobs. This baby will complete any outfit…no matter what you’re wearing.

These options are a few of many-oh so many-sparkly little things out there in the wild world of fashion. So put on your shoes, grab your bag and get yourself something nice and shiny – you deserve it.
