Back in Black (and Floral)

I took a bit of an unintended blog break recently. Life outside the blog was just not allowing for ample sitting on my butt staring at a computer screen time nor was the Scot's job giving me access to my photographer on the weekends. But, now I am back with a ton of new post and outfit ideas. So, I think the break may have reinvigorated my love of blogging!

Daytime Sequins and Chambray

I am a big supporter and advocate of sequins. However, it's pretty difficult to incorporate into a daytime outfit. I said difficult...not impossible. I am willing to test drive a few sequin adorned daytime look for my craft. And I think my first attempt went pretty well. I utilized an old blogger trick. When all else fails...add chambray. I threw in some booties, a tee, and a cross body bag to dress down the sequins. I may have gone a little too heavy with the jewelry. But, I just can't helo myself.
