The sparkle in your eye

Sequins and sparkles aren’t just for New Year’s Eve; you can wear them all year long! Hopefully you brought in the New Year with fireworks, celebrating, and maybe resolutions too. It takes confidence to wear sequins, but let’s make a resolution to make this year our boldest when it comes to fashion. This week I wanted to buy myself a gift to celebrate a new job. I found this amazing jacket, it was lavender (a color I haven’t seen in a while despite the popularity of purple shades in the past year). I was shocked, and then dazzled by the jacket’s entirely sequin hood. I tried it on and stared at myself in the mirror. I would adore this on someone else, but was I bold enough to pull it off myself? I put it back on the hanger feeling doubtful when a sales associate came up to me. “That looked so good on you,” she told me as I put the jacket back on the rack. With some courage and a small confidence boost from the sales associate I bought it.

Clothes have the ability to transform how you feel about yourself. I challenge you to go out and find a bold piece that you can sparkle in all year long feeling confident and fashionable. Maybe it will have sequins, intricate beading, a tribal pattern, or simply a bold color you don’t usually wear. Whatever you find—wear it walking tall into you boldest year of fashion ever.
