The weather was gorgeous this weekend, and I just wanted something simple and laid-back to wear for an afternoon of lazy strolling around the city.  This shirt and I go waaaayyy back… seriously, I think this thing’s been in my wardrobe for at least 7 years (plus, I had another one just like it high school).  Like I always say, you can never go wrong with the classics.  A quick 80s collar pop and a J. Crew-esque sleeve roll were all it took to give this outfit instant preppy flair.  But I couldn’t resist toughening the look up a bit with slightly rugged ankle boots and a military jacket.

I’ve been wanting to try out a sequins top for a while, but it’s hard to find a wallet-friendly version that doesn’t look chintzy.  I struck gold, literally, when I found this top at H&M the other day.  The first thing I noticed is that this top has a lot of weight to it and feels pretty substantial.  I love that it has sequins all over (not just on the front) and also that the sequins are spaced fairly close together (a lot of cheap-y versions are pretty sparse).  I decided to go up a size for a slouchy, relaxed fit (perfect for hiding post-turkey tummy).

I wore these pants to work last week, and boy were they the topic of conversation!  Mostly because my co-workers never really see me in pants.  I’m sure the in-yo’-face pink had absolutely nothing to do with it… nothing at all.
