Day 14- Putting On The Glitz

Last night, I attended a fundraiser for the fashion student organization at my school. It was a great evening filled with friends, fabulous clothes, and fashiontinis (our very own fashion martini!). The theme was "Putting on the Glitz", so a sparkly dress was a must. I swapped this little number into my 30 items in exchange for my navy American Apparel skirt which I have yet to wear during the challenge.

The formal wear segment of the show

This is the first sequined dress I've ever owned, and I had a lot of fun wearing it. The only drawback? The sequins were rather scratchy and gave me a rash all over my arms. Thankfully, I have some different ideas of how to wear it later in the challenge, so stay tuned! I'm almost halfway through the challenge; this is where things start to get a little interesting. Next week is finals week, so bear with me through some comfy, casual outfits. How is everyone else feeling about the challenge so far?

I'm wearing a sequined dress tomorrow and wasn't sure how to style it! Now I think I'll wear my tights and booties. :) Thanks!

I love the dress. I often shy away from sequins just for the scratch factor, so I can't wait to see how else you style this piece.

You look great! The necklace is the perfect accessory for the dress too.

I love this outfit! I am a huge fan of sequins - even though I don't own any! In response to your comment on my blog, I use picnik.com to edit my photos and since I have a Mac computer I use its version of illustrator. Hope this helps! :)

Loving the dress. Very 20s, flapper vice. I love sequins but I have yet to buy a sequin top because they are very uncomfortable.
