I Feel Like A Girl of 16 Again, Part Two

We're back! And just like we promised, we have 3 more scintillating sequin looks for you and your closet. So, sit back, relax (or get excited) and enjoy the ride.

Look Numero Quatro: We're not gonna lie, Yoanna Baraschi may or may not have seduced us with her entire spring collection. Everything was so fresh! So colorful! And somehow classy, too- all at the same time! Swooooon.....

Thus, we apologize for being a little Y. B. heavy, but what's a girl to do when dresses like this are staring at her from the racks all day? Exactly, a girl should blog about them...

We loved the bright orange, the oh-so slightly varied color of the orange sequins... basically, this dress made us do the one thing we thought we never would... wear orange and feel chic doing so. The embellishment on the shoulders doesn't hurt either...

Next up we have something a little more causal, but that still manages to create that magical mix between elegant and eclectic. 

Look Numero Cinco: Yes, yes, another Yoanna shirt, but just look at her! We love it, we love it! The black silk easily makes this shirt a go-to for both a casual and a dressy occasion. Paired with dress slacks or jeans, this top is a show-stopper. 

We love the pairing of the ultra feminine hot pink sequins with *the color for spring*- army green. The juxtaposition results in a mood that conveys both an awareness of trends and a sense of timeless femininity.

And lastly, because we can tell that you want us to tell you there is life- and a sparkling life after Yoanna, we bring you something from someone a little different....

Look Numero Seis: We bring you Trina! Well, Trina Turk that is: the queen of classic. But what makes her designs so great is that you never feel like you're wearing something classic. You feel like you're wearing something editorial, something fresh, something new, and WHOOPS... 5 years later you're still wearing it and loving it.

But we digress... We love this piece because it's drapey and flowy enough to wear casually with a great pair of tights and flats or sparkly and fun enough to pair with a belt and heels. Once again, sequins prove their ability to transcend dress codes.

And we'll leave you on that note; that maybe nothing has really changed since we were begging our mothers to buy us the most sparkly shirts we could find. Maybe we're all still little girls who need a sequin or two to make everything okay...
