Winter sparkle

Sequins are the perfect thing for winter dressing up. Glamourous and intriguing, I like them best when the overall look isn't too polished. There's something so beautiful in the contrast between shiney sequins and dull sensible winter fabrics.

This top, originally from ASOS, was five pounds from Oxfam. All the charity shops in Chorlton are full of sequinned tops and dresses at the moment.

Scarves are a really easy way to do sequins.

Although surely much better is full on sequins, and its striped! I bid for this on ebay...42 pounds which I was happy with. I love the look of this and can't wait to wear it for Christmas parties. Was a bit gutted to google the dress to find out how much it cost new, (rrp 99 pounds) to see that ASOS sell it for half price.
