Sequins? Yes, Please!

Shopping at Macy's for denim shirts

Sequins? Yes, Please!

Yall. About Scandal last night?? Can you even?? Because I am not yet able to. It’s nearly 2 o’clock in the morning and I’m still thinking about that show. And Kerry Washington’s cheekbones. That lip quiver, too.

Now, about the outfit.

Have you ever a day where you just feel like blaaaaah? I believe Holly Golightly referred to days like this as, ‘having a case of the mean reds.’ That’s me. Right now, today.

But sequins make it better. Sequins make anything better, though.

I really like this sequin top I’m wearing. It’s from the #GlamSavvyShopper shoot. It has really fun dolman sleeves. I thought it would be fun to layer it over a American Rag Denim Ombre shirt. I pulled it off one shoulder to show a little somethin,’ somethin’.

Not too much, though! Never give ’em too much. I don’t want to look like I’m out here trying to get chose :-p

Shopping for denim at Macy's

I have a secret to tell you. Those leggings are a huge surprise for me. I’ve been looking for a pair of either faux leather leggings or a pair with faux leather panels on them for some time now. So when I spotted this Jessica Simpson pair with the faux leather tuxedo stripe on the side on Macy’s.com, I added them to the cart immediately.

I had no idea that Jessica Simpson made such nice things. I’m so ready to revisit her entire line because I’m already planning to wear these leggings with every-dang-thing.

What to see how I wore the top for the photoshoot? Yes?

Shopping for sequins at Macy'sThank you, Glam, for providing me with my new head shot. The top looks really cute with the hot pink jeans, too:

 

Oh yeah, that green clutch? That’s a Coach iPad case. Don’t you like the new direction that Coach is moving into? I do! I used to be obsessed with Coach in middle and high school. I’m so glad they’re getting back to the basics with the leather pieces.

What do you do to beat the mean reds? Sequins?

 

From exciting events to the latest trends, amazing contests to everyday values, Macy’s has been making magic for over 150 years!

p.s.   Compensation was provided by Macy’s via Glam Media. Yes, yes, I got this entire outfit at Macy’s. Guess the commercial I stole that from.

    You look adorable in that headshot! Love the lip! And the sequin top is fab. Sparkles and sequins are my go-to way to make any outfit better—or manicure.

    You are so photogenic, even when giving the camera person the side-eye 🙂 I’m going to check out those leggings (Jessica Simpson?! Who knew…) right after I finish typing this comment. Do they fit true-to-size, or did you need to order up or down? And Scandal…I can’t even. Wait, I can: I would wear each and every jacket Liv rocks.

      Aw, thank you Erica! I wasn’t sure I liked the way the pictures came out, so sweet to say. I know, right about Jessica Simpson?! They actually fit true to size, I was kicking myself for not sizing down but they fit perfectly once I tried them on. 

      OMG, I want every jacket/coat that Liv wears *drools*

    Okay can I just say that I love this outfit!! The sequin sweater and that CLUTCH/iPad case! I thought I was the only one who wore cute iPad cases as clutches. Lol… And lets not forget the leggings! I’ve been looking for some of those for a while. I might have to order those babies!

      Thank you, Kelli! Girl, no! Some iPad cases are too nice just to lug a gadget around, LOL. Yeah, you should definitely check out these or Bar III (sold at Macy’s). They each make really cute options, that I believe are on sale, right now.
