Casual com brilho à mistura - Casual with added sparkle


(Scroll down for English)
Usei esta roupa para jantar fora num aniversário com família (neste caso, se me vestisse demasiado chique acreditem que me ia sentir deslocada); embora se diga que as lantejoulas são para os eventos formais à noite, actualmente muita gente quebra esta directiva (e muitas outras, se é que lhes podemos chamar de directivas). Na minha opinião as lantejoulas funcionam durante o dia se inseridas num coordenado realmente casual (por exemplo jeans com uma T-shirt branca, saltos altos e um bolero de lantejoulas). Nesta situação em particular resolvi não usar o bolero durante o dia no escritório e vesti-lo apenas à noite para jantar fora. Qual é a vossa opinião acerca de usar lantejoulas durante o dia?

I wore this outfit for a family birthday dinner out (in this case if I had been too dressed up , I’d have felt out of place, believe me)… Many would state that sequins are only to be worn for night events, but this “fashion rule” (as many other fashion rules, if one can call them that way) is starting to be neglected and ignored by many. In my opinion a sequined piece could work by day toning up a very casual outfit like jeans and a white t-shirt, for example (ok, I’d through in a good pair of heels too). For this day I decided against wearing the bolero to the office by day, putting it on only by dinner time. What do you feel about sequins in daytime outfits?

  3. I have worn sequins to work. Both on a skirt and a top. Just a few scattered ones. I think these days you can get away with it. Love your jacket, but I don't think I would wear that many sequins to work :)

  4. Vicky: I agree, that's why I didn't wear it in the office,... It felt too "festive". I wore a cream jersey cardigan instead.

  5. I love the look of one simple sequined garment mixed with other pieces for daytime. There was a feature on this in the August issue of Lucky magazine. Most of the pieces were in conservative colors like grey, dark green and blue and were simple shapes like a sleeveless tank top or pencil skirts. You have captured the look wonderfully!

  6. Love the jacket. But the pants (no offence, really) I'd pass - crotch lenth -or width- problems.

  7. Tany, I got that exact same necklace pendant a couple of weeks ago. Owls are in, huh? I'm for sequins all day time, with casual attire on daytime, and then dressed up for evening events. As usual, you're doing everything right!

  9. Obrigada Paula! As calças foram compradas numa cadeia de roupa internacional muito conhecida, da colecção de verão - se quiseres saber a marca envia-me um email, pois aqui não faço propaganda a marcas, hehehehe. Embora muita gente não goste deste género, eu gosto muito porque são confortáveis e sinto-me muito bem com elas. Beijinhos!

    Abraços
