Fab Chick Trend Alert: It's all About Sequins
Let it Shine, Let it Shine, Let it Shine

If you thought sequins were only appropriate during the New Years Eve festivities, then you were wrong. No longer do you have to wait for the ball drop or become a Vegas Show girl to throw on that sparkly number. Designers like DVF, Elizabeth and James, Married to the MOB and others have incorporated the glitzy trimming on casual everyday wear. Sequins are showing up on just about everything including, legging, blazers, shorts, and vest. It's not just about embellishments on your handbags or accessories anymore. Fab Chicks from Nia Long, Whitney Port to Shakira are getting in on the sequin trend. We saw singer Shakira just a few post earlier look Fab in a black sequin blazer.
The key to pulling off this trend for an everyday look is to keep the rest of the outfit's components simple. Which means, if you are wearing a pair of sequins leggings, skip the sequins blazer. Wear your sequins items with other casual less understated pieces. For example, like wearing jeans with that sequins blazer/jacket. The rule of thumb is to allow one sequins item to shine at a time. Too much in one outfit and you a liable to look like the New Years Eve Ball itself. This is something you definitely do not want.

Check out a few recession friendly pieces that will allow you to pull off the trend and not totally blow your budget.

Fab Chick Tip: When shopping for sequined clothing, be sure to completely inspect your items to ensure no sequins have fallen. It would be terrible to get your pieces home, ready to be worn and a row of sequins are missing.

Keep it Fab ladies!
