leggingsAre your sequins sending the wrong message? You’re not alone.

While one gets wrapped up in the holiday season, they may lose their mind a little bit when it’s time to choose the right outfit. Sometimes thinking, the more sequins – the more festive I must look. (nope)

A great sequined look is keeping it to one piece or one accessory. Another tip is to limit how much skin shows. If you prefer a micro-mini, then do it up and really make your legs pop by covering the arms. Liking the tight legging look? Again, flaunt the legs by creating a baggier look on top. You get it.

Common mistakes include: too many sequins, mixing the wrong colors, the ho’ish look, and then the always present tight-sequined-tank-dress compliments of Victoria’s Secret. Be confident with your own body shape – own it and wear what flatters your most appealing asset(s). There are some dresses out there that should only be made in a size 2. Don’t be fooled.

Just don’t make an entrance like this at your holiday party…
