A LITTLE SHIMMER AND SHINE

This is the month for holiday gatherings and party goings and to tell you the truth I don’t really have any ‘fancy’ parties I need to attend.

But does that mean a gal still can’t enjoy some shimmer and shine?

The only holiday parties I attend are either at my own home (big one tomorrow) or at our church or with the fam. Ok, we do give our employees a fun party but that usually consists of a Jazz game (really???). Anyhow I’m not going to pass up the chance to add a bit of shimmer and shine to my wardrobe.

Here’s a fun way to do just that in a somewhat casual way.  This attire is a perfect outfit for lunching with my girlfriends or a dinner date with hubby.  It’s not too over the top and it fits my lifestyle to a T.

Just slipping on a simple sequin top (Ann Taylor) with the same shade of pants still gives it a casual yet classy look.  I paired it with some velvet skinnies which I plan to wear all winter long.

I decided to add some silver shine with a statement necklace, silver pumps, and then topped the entire outfit off with cream.

I’m now set for the entire day a little lunch date and later dinner.

As always my friends, thanks for dropping by, have a most wonderful weekend.  And go add some shimmer and shine . . . it’s kind of fun!

    Love the silver accents with that top!!
    I also absolutely love the white coat. I bought one years ago and have always thought it looks so sophisticated! Needless to say mine has gotten a tad dingy lately…I might have to reinvest!!

      Thank you Jodie! And a nice winter white coat is one of the best investments a gal can make, right?

    Just perfect Trina! I love a bit of shimmer, just like you styled with your top. I can’t stop staring at this gorgeous winter white coat on you! So pretty! I love the bit of military style with the silver buttons. You look great! I know, the party will be at my moms on Christmas eve and Day!
    Have a great weekend!
