Sequins are great to wear for New Years Eve so you can reflect on the year. This is how I styled a sequin dress for the big night and beyond!
Wearing Sequins to Celebrate
Happy new year, friends!
I kicked off my festivities in this sequined number that I bought from the online secondhand retailer Swap.com. Layered with a black turtleneck, black We Love Colors tights, and comfy heels, this outfit served me well as I played board games and sipped from a disco ball shaped tumbler.
As I’m not one to let my fancy clothes collect dust in the back of my closet, scroll down to see how (& why!) I plan to rewear this dress for daytime events.

Wearing Sequins for Everyday
Besides the obvious of not wanting my clothes to go unworn (I love all my clothes!), there are a few other benefits to rewearing sequins for everyday. One is that is just makes the day more fun! Every outing feels a little fancier because you’re shining like the star you are. 🌟
More specifically to this dress, I wore it for New Years Eve so it holds memories of that night and the optimism that I had going into the new year. While that optimism fades with time as the year unveils some crappy traits, I’d like to think that wearing this dress in the future will remind me of that hope & positive life I wished for myself.
I wore it with a white tee underneath, a cool looking moto jacket on top, and jeans to make it extra casual. I’m ready to rock in the new year!

Beyond Sequins
I hope that you also carry a little bit of that confidence from your celebrations into this year. Life’s not all rainbows and sunshine but we can make it sequins and sparkly jewelry if that’s what we choose to wear! When you dress good, you feel good.
