No matter how young or old, if there is ever a time of the year to play up your inner diva, it’s NOW! What’s the best part of the holiday season you ask? Parties! What’s second-best? Sparkles!
Bust out your sequined duds, glittered pumps, and blinged out jewelry. From sparkling accessories and beauty finds to the killer party dress, this is a trend that makes every outfit feel special.
Make this trend work at every age with the suggestions below!
In your 20’s, this is your chance to be fearless. From full sequin dress to Blue Nile’s festive Leaf Chandelier Earrings, play up the trend with bold statement pieces. While it’s fine to incorporate more than one sparkling item at a time, avoid looking like a disco ball by sticking to just one major sparkle item.
