Oh Sequins, How I Have Missed You

Are you crazy about sequins too?
It seems there are a lot of us out there.
Why is it that we wear the heck out of them during December and then put them on the back burner after that?
I have been so excited to see so many sequins hit the stores for the spring!
I had to pull out some for today to celebrate... Sequins are not just for the Holidays anymore.
The sequins are clear and subtle on this tee, but it is one of my favorites. 
Sequins were originally made for kings and queens 
and are thought to have been produced by rolling gold super thin, 
cutting out discs and then glazing them to prevent scratches.
  I decided to go for a bit more casual look with my sequins than they were originally used for. 
Kind of a preppy, casual look I think.
I added a touch of light blue with the skinny belt and necklace
to break up all of the "honeysuckle" color that was going on. 
By coincidence my nails are even blue today.

PS... I am sure you noticed last week I changed my comment section over to Disqus.  I hope that it has been easier to comment and that no one has incurred any difficulties.  Would love to hear what you think of the new system. 
Thanks

I love bright sequined stripes! They not only make it an everyday sequin, but a daytime sequin and I'm in favor of sequins everyday!
